..and still one G5

I dont think it would be automatic at 16 but 8 yes. If you are solidly in the top 15 you would likely make it in 16, but having more than one does not happen a whole lot. Anything below a consensus top 15 would give the comittee room just to throw SOS out there. The good news it is possible just got to win your games. Outside of a handfull of programs in all of football one loss is going to eliminate you P5 or not. The one loss PAC 12, big 10, ACC, big 12 second place team will be automatically just about every year as well at four. It will go to 8 in no time. Just need the perfect storm of all P5 champs to go undefeated.

In 2008, 2009, 2011 you could have had three G5's in a 16 team playoff and two in 2010.
