Looking over what the last 4 seasons would have produced with the most basic guideline approve today (6 highest rated conf champs + 6 at-large)

3 out of 4 years, the SEC gets 4 teams in
1 season has 0 Pac 12
1 season has 0 non-P5
0 seasons have more than the ACC champ
2 seasons have 7 of the 12 coming from the SEC/B10 duo
1 seasons has a non-P5 from anywhere other than the AAC (and that was a weird Covid season)

edit to add: with those kinds of numbers, how the details like protecting conferences, seeding rules, first round matchup protections (same conf.), etc will be interesting

Also, I think there's a real chance that conference championship structures are going to trend quickly into insuring no surprises. You can't risk a 2020 Tulsa beating Cincinnati (they didn't) or 2020 Oregon beating USC (which they did)
