I think if there was a strong push to move up we could get a conference invite. It wouldn't be a very good conference more than likely but I think we would find one.
The part where I'm torn is that I love the playoff deciding a real champion but the team we played against in the national championship game brought no more than 2,000 fans! Couple that with the chance this year and the reality last year of people missing the start of the national championship for a meaningless midseason basketball game going late.
Boise State realistically would be ceiling for moving up. I don't know about the rest of you but if we were bowl eligible year in and year out I don't see 18,000 fans going to the Beef O' Brady's bowl.
The best thing for college football in my eyes is for the big 5 to break away and to come up with a truly tiered system where each tier has a playoff. Current FCS teams like NDSU, Montana, YSU, etc. could join back up with teams like GSU, App. St., Wyoming, etc. in the top level below the big 5. FCS bottom feeders like UN_ could be in the next level down.
Or in a dream world college football could go to the European soccer style relegation.
