Maybe, maybe not. Selected teams from last year's playoff rankings that would not be in a 12-team playoffQuote:

man, I wish they had given bids to every FBS conference champion (10), and two at larges. Just think how that would have leveled the playing field and made college football more interesting.
The P-5 or P-3 however that works out will be playing with themselves (heh, heh) and one win by a G5 team over a P* team won't be enough to get you into the top 12.
I’d say let’s go 13-0 with a Mountain West championship and a win over a ranked P5 and let’s see if we make the top 12 ;)Quote:

That's false. AD is very aware of what is happening, they just don't go around making everything public. Not me, but there are several people on this board who are aware of behind the scene moves/prepartions that are taking place.Quote:

CUSA will be like the NEC of FBS, but without an autobid or any remote hope of at large either.
Imagine a similar idea in FCS and how awful it would be.Quote:

Not really mainly just some that say we should not join a crappy conference like CUSA out of desperation. If MWC came a calling I’m not sure I could name anyone that would be opposed to joining.Quote:

As usual you are clueless.Quote:

please provide a counter argument instead of just calling him clueless.
I'll help. To posterize this schmuck, all you you have to do is make a case that shows that most, or at least many 'good fcs teams' have chosen to stay, and how we should be excited to play teams like W&M and St thomas, who was D3 as recently as 2 years ago. Obviously he is joking about Bemidji, so dont waste your time there.
They won't do it at 16 either, they would go with 8+8 most likely.Quote:

A 12-1 MAC champ might do that, a 9-4 one wouldn't.
The top conferences won't accept any more autobids without also expanding the at-large bids for themselves.
It's not even clear they would go to 8+8, it might stay at 6 conf champs, and just add more at-large.
The P5 conferences have all the power and leverage here, and can just walk away.
We simply are not going to see a world where all 10 FBS conferences get autobids in the next 10 years.
I'd go even further and say that no matter how big the playoff field will be, all the Power conferences get an autobid, top G5(or whatever number it becomes) gets one, and all the rest are at large and almost certainly all from Power conferences. There is no requirement to have as many at large as autobid, despite what some people claim.Quote:

Go take a look at who congress met with recently on topics like NIL.Quote:

But bowlsby is one of our guys right? Went to msum or something?Quote:

The power conferences will not accept an expansion that doesn't give them more at large slots.
I also don't expect that expansion to happen quickly. They will stay at 12 for at least 5-10 years.
