Seems unlikely they will get it. Most projections say AAC/SMU is getting the NY6 slot.
CUSA absolutely killed their SOS, and the CFP committee considers that.
Tulane would have been a lock to get it over Liberty if they won the AAC Championship. JMU also if fully eligible this year and won SBC Championship.
High odds a two loss SMU team also trumps undefeated Liberty.
And Liberty has exactly ZERO chance at CFP playoffs this year, if that's what you were thinking.

I realize that.
But my point is that the playoff field needs to be large enough to include teams in that scenario. What more can a team do than win every game? They shouldn't be penalized because of their conference peers.

The argument is that there are many more deserving teams that have played a tougher schedule.
All the talking heads are saying it will go to AAC/SMU. A two loss AAC team is seen as better.
The computer rankings also say this.
Saying Liberty should get the slot is the same as saying the NEC champion should be a top 6 seed in FCS playoffs.
They will most likely get a lower bowl game vs Troy or App St. Maybe a chance they play JMU or Toledo.
Even within the G5 conferences, there's a pecking order, and CUSA is rock bottom.

Point being an unbeaten teams deserve to be included in the field, not a high seed. A larger field would accommodate this.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
Yeah the situation this year highlights why the playoff field needs to expand. Undefeated G5 teams notwithstanding, All P5/4 conference champs should get a first round bye and then award bids and seed them into the top 4 after that.

The best thing the FCS has to offer is the playoffs. Its very good. I want NDSU to move up as much as the next guy. But the playoffs are fun

This post was BEFORE we all found out that an undefeated Florida State just got left out of the 4-team playoff. Total bullshit. Expansion is the right move.

And FSU is left out. There you go argument #1 for a larger field. It’s almost as if all they’re looking for out of the next 5 weeks is a promotional campaign for the 12 team expansion next year.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
next year starts the 12 team playoff!!! JMU lawyers shouldve filed a lawsuit to move it up to this year haha
Georgia and Florida State got SCREWED!

Oh, the field is expanding to 12.
But the P4 will fight for every spot.
An undefeated Liberty still wouldn’t make the field most years. There will be at most one G5 team invited.
