According to the CFP release, there won't be any new spots created for the now Group of 6.

That continues a change from before the 2026 season that guaranteed bids to the four power conference champions and the highest ranked Group of Six team, instead of the five highest ranked conference champions, regardless of conference. While coach Charles Kelly sees advantage in scheduling, he doesn't seem to be in favor of an expanded playoffs, at least one that doesn't include all conference champions. "I think there may be some advantages for us in scheduling, that's the advantage that I see," Kelly said.
