It's already been discussed by Ross Dellinger. They may keep the same criteria
to get in but change the seeding. Meaning they get rid of the conference champions only getting the byes and just go by complete ranking system.

This is the same logic used by those who think Bama should’ve gotten SMU’s spot.

That could work, but only if you can effectively eliminate "conference strength" bias. Which is near impossible.
