No, it's a G5 to P5 issue so Cal and Stanford are not in the same boat. It would be very arbitrary to exclude SMU given that BYU, UH, UC and UCF were granted the full allotment.

It is not arbitrary. They reward the Big 12 for allowing OU and Texas to leave rather easily. They again are sticking it to the ACC because it still wants to resist forced changes.
