Dump all the existing schools, and replace them with MVFC ones.
The problem is that FIU, UTEP, NMSU, JSU, and likely even SHSU are boat anchors.
WKU/MTSU are the best teams left, and they aren't looking good either.
WKU : struggled with Austin Peay, beat a bad Hawaii team that Vanderbilt destroyed.
MTSU : blown out by JMU 44-7
I see no way to fix this level of suck without dumping those schools and starting over.

I’m onboard, honestly I think this is our best bet!

Find me another G5 in the top 25 right now.
If you can't climb into the top 12, you're not getting anything anything but the low seed.
It will be the "top G5" slotted against whoever is #5 ... and it still won't be pretty.
And there is no way 1 P5 win is going to get you in playing in CUSA, unless that P5 is Alabama and you smoke them.
We would need two ranked P5 wins in order to make the final playoffs like Cinci did last year. The team with the best ranked team wins is the teams making the playoffs.

And then again...why would a P5 team schedule NDSU? A loss to the Bison is a dagger.

Yep...CUSA is the only option in the near future. (I'm down with Bighorns idea).

Who cares what they are next year? They made a 4 team playoff as a G5?
I mean Jesus. We shouldn’t move to FBS because if we were a top 12 team we might have to play a difficult team in the playoffs? Good lord…

They will schedule the bison once we are FBS. You telling me the P5 doesn’t schedule a good G5 school because they are scared?

A 13-0 MW champion with a win over a legit P5 program is in this 12 team playoff. Absolutely.

Yeah. MN, Kansas State, Iowa, Iowa State...for example....already tough for them to crack the Top 12 once they run through their conference gauntlet. I don't think being FBS makes it any easier to schedule those schools with a potential loss. The big dogs such Ohio State and the like maybe a different story with an ass kicking.
Re: A new and better FBS thread
I know you see this as totally 'unfair' but the at large bids will go to P5 schools who have defeated a whole bunch of P5 schools over a G5 who beat one. That is fair..
The automatic 6th seed is a gift but the object is to get 12 great teams in there.
