The Pac12 Champion, probably Oregon (who immediately gets destroyed after having to play someone from a real power 5 school),
The G5 school (maybe if they're well coached enough, motivated enough or draw the right team, they win one game)
Your at-large bids are as follows
Georgia: Who blows another double digit lead or gets blown out by one of the 3 actual contenders
2-3 loss SEC West runner-up: They will have 1 or 2 wins against ranked teams and get blown out by Bama in the regular season. SEC homer talking heads will insist this team has a great shot to go all the way for no other reason than they're an SEC team only to get blown out the millisecond they take the field against one of the big 3 title contenders
Florida: They get in by virtue of beating Flordia St, the 5 mediocre-awful teams in the SEC East other than them or Georgia, and whatever FCS and low-tier southern G5 school they play. They get in despite losing every big game on their schedule
Big10 West champion (probably Wisconsin)- Who is basically there to serve as a free pass to whatever team they draw (unless they play the Pac12 champ, then we get a slogfest resembling 2 sub 500 teams playing eachother
Whoever's turn it is to lose to Oklahoma in the Big12 Championship game
Whoever is ranked higher between Notre Dame and the Big10 east runner up (probably Penn State or Michigan)
The end result is basically the same as what you would get in a 4 team playoff except everyone wastes time slogging through 8 teams that have no business being there and have no shot at a national title
