With the group of 5 rule forcing one to take that team each year if they are ranked high enough as the only exception. ND slips in to replace the ACC in the orange if the ACC is in the playoff and we are ranked highest and haven’t played there too many times in whatever window that is.

The non-playoff bowls rotate who gets first pick for at large teams.
