Also you act like Notre Dame in this hypothetical scenario doesn't get any benefits. If they finish that high in the polls they get the benefit of waltzing into the CFP without having to play a conference championship game.
They come in as the 5th seed and could also benefit because they get whatever remaining G5 team gets in as the last conference champion bid. THEN they would play the #4 seeded conference champs who has a non zero chance of being kinda mid.
From a casual perspective, that sounds like a fairly easy road. Of course that's a hypothetical, in this reality Notre Dame couldn't beat Podunk ass NIU so maybe save this for next year.

Seeding priority for division winners in the NFL cost the Browns a shot at their first ever home playoff game at their current stadium and first overall since 1994 after they had one of the four best records in the AFC but still did not win their division, which combined with the Lions winning the NFC North last season gave them the longest active drought without a home playoff game.
So if Notre Dame has the top ranking in the final CFP poll in any given season then by all means they should get a first round bye.

Another thing that won’t play in the NFL unless of course a team is trying to chase clout to make up for their inability to do anything else, but eventually you do have to, you know, win.

Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, & San Diego State to join Pac-12
Now let the buzz run amok at my alma mater (Montana) about who the MWC taps as replacements. The path has never been more clear for the Montana schools to finally make the jump.

When Colorado goes on the road they should play his rap song whenever he throws a pick or fumbles.

No doubt, problem just is Delaware had numerous possible landing spots thanks to its location, while Montana's only realistic path is to the Mountain West, which has never added a school in transition. Plus there needing to be 2 spots because the Montana schools either go together or stay together. This is basically Montana's best opportunity and I fear it may be their only opportunity for a long time. I've largely been content in the FCS, but that's because it was the second tier and I great preferred the FCS playoff system to hoping for some shitty bowl. Going forward I think the G5 is the new second tier, especially if they start their own playoff system. Status quo would effectively be a step down within a handful of years and I don't see a ton of paths opening up after this. I'm not delusional enough to think that Montana's roots in the old PCC means enough to get even the Pac-½ to so much as glance at such a small market, so it's the Mountain West or bust.
The WAC failing basically blocked any path western FCS programs had to move up until potentially this moment, and I have little doubt that the Mountain West is far more interested in poaching Texas/Louisiana teams than regional programs that'd fit the conference like a glove but don't come with a large TV market, or even the potential mid-major powers in the Dakotas.
It's frustrating because there's nothing Wyoming brings that Montana doesn't aside from the butterfly effect of one departing the Mountain States Conference for a conference that would go with 1-A distinction 15 years after the fact, while the other left the Mountain States Conference for a conference that would go with 1-AA distinction 15 years later.
