The four highest-ranked conference champions would be seeded Nos. 1 through 4 and receive first-round byes. The other eight seeds — Nos. 5 through 12 — would play in the first round.”
Correct, though in practice it is about 99.9% probability that will mean the P5 plus one G5 champion making the field.
About 80% of the time it would have been AAC teams that get that bid, including the past 6 years.
This is why they like to call themselves "P6"
SBC might have squeezed Coastal in 2020 covid year, but its generally a long shot for G5 schools not in the AAC.
Like a once a decade event, if that.
There are good reasons to join a FBS conference, but people expecting immediate CFP bids will be disappointed.

I personally wasn’t expecting IMMEDIATE CFP appearances… once a decade seems like a decent goal.

WE ARE IN THE WRONG LEAGUE
G5 draft picks were WAY down this year, because most of the NFL caliber guys have transferred to P5 schools to improve their draft status. Quite a few P5 draft picks were G5 players that transferred.
This is a trend I think will accelerate. The P5 schools are mining G5 like a farm system.
We've actually been lucky some of our players have remained committed, and a little bit "under the radar"
If we move to FBS, unfortunately would expect more players to transfer out.
G5 schools find it incredibly hard to hold onto successful players and coaches.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
another NDSU player goes up to FBS.
we are getting GUTTED by not moving up...
Re: A new and better FBS thread
That won't stop if you get to FBS. Now, you are the Cadillac of FCS. You get really good recruits because of that. If you go FBS you will just be another school. Players will have lots of choices to consider for a transfer. Imagine your best players entering the portal. It might be awful tough to keep them if the choices come down to NIL opportunities, weather, exposure, tougher competition etc..

Everybody is getting poached. Even schools in the P5. Just more noise by the shit slinger.

Exactly. Just another ridiculous reason to scream about jumping to the G5. Quick glance for example:
James Madison - 13.
Coastal - 12.
Bohl - 15+
FCS is old and stale is just a fine enough reason no need for the insane sales pitches.
