CFP is moving to a 5+7 model: https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...+7-model-board
Effectively : the G5 conferences plus PAC will get one team in.
I think they are presuming the PAC is dead, but this is bad news for all the G5 conferences if PAC rebuilds.
If WSU/OSU rebuild the PAC, they will have a strong chance of landing that bid.
If WSU/OSU join the MWC, then MWC will have the edge for the G5 playoff spot.
I don't know what will happen but if they do join up with the MW they will be flush with cash from this year's revenue distribution. Maybe 40 million bucks or so each. No MW school will have that sort of bread coming in. I believe they fully understand that they will not be a P5 conference going forward. They are far from finacial basket cases. However, they will have to adjust to the same tv revenue the mountain west schools get now. There are a bunch of G5 schools doing just fine with what they have. They will be alright.
Unrelated to the discussion, but on the FSU-Miami game, the announcer just relayed that FSU coach Mike Norvell has 112 recruits in attendance today. That seems crazy high to me.
We went to the FSU-Duke game a couple weeks ago and I gotta be honest, I was a little let down by the atmosphere. I'm not an FSU fan, but was expecting an elite atmosphere, and it wasn't what I expected.
FSU is a great experience.
JMU #19. & 10-0.
COULD BE NDSU
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
