    Default Group of 5 officials considering playoff for non-Power 5 teams

    I know there have been a few random posts elsewhere on this but I think it deserves it's own thread.

    THOUGHTS??

    Personally I like the idea. It may help get rid of all the meaningless Bowl Games and give the P5 a reason to go to a full fledged playoff. I think you could even see some teams decline Bowl Games. If you're Boise, would you rather play Baylor or compete for a Championship?? What about Wyoming or BYU?

    Thing that gets me, a quote on G5 playoffs being junior varsity... Umm doesn't P5 already treat them as junior varsity anyway? Seems to me that anyone in the G5 thinks they're in the same level as P5 is just plain ignorant to the situation they're in. Boise was about the only team that came close but that was only for a couple years, now they've fallen back to the top of the G5 stack again. Wish they'd just wake up and realize they could have something watchable and probably would be a decent money maker especially if the direction allows them to bring in some of the top FCS teams. Just accept who you are and be content with it.... Not that hard.

    I was listening to The Brake down today and he has a great opening segment on the topic. He thinks they should move down to the FCS. Have a listen

    Yeah, that makes more sense to me too. Not sure that is a good sign though.

    I think eventually you will see the P5 separate with 5 16 team conferences and probably expand their PO to 6 or 8. I think the G5 will eventually get something similar going. Wouldn't be surprised to see scholarship changes as well. Probably an increase for P5 to like 100. Some of the bottom G5 teams will probably say eff it at that time and move down and some of the top tier FCS schools will do what's necessary to get into that second tier. Who knows how long it will take since this has been discussed for eons already.

    It would really dilute the talent if P5 schools went to 100 scholarships. Not only is it 15 more full rides, it's 15 more full cost of attendance and the Title 9 implications

    Personally I would like to see FCS give the option to jump to 85 but not require it. (and call it something different) That way the teams that are committed will do it and the non committed won't. Would boost the level of football and make the decison much easier for the G5 schools. Would give them a short term advantage unless FCS gets a year to ramp it up... but that's alright
