A new and better FBS thread

[TAILG8R]

With the bigs controlling this they will figure out a way to get a couple of teams from each of there mega conferences to get in. NCAA is letting them run the show and have from inception. Only way a non power 5 team gets in is if the politicos bring pressure. The politicos are the only reason we have a playoff now. The threat of political involvement is the only thing that moves the needle.

From what I've been reading it sure sounds like a. G5 will get a seat at the playoff table each year when all is said and done.

That would be nice.

That would be nice.

I'll believe it when I see it but it does make a huge difference to me at how hard you push to move up.

I mentioned earlier that imo it also means IF a G5 conference adds a school, strength of their football program becomes .ore important than market.

The devil will be in the details. Top 6 get in. Then 6 at large. Think back to Notre dame being an independent. They had parameters written up if the were better than x team because of this and that then they would take that teams place. That scenario was some time back. Going to be interesting.

[56BISON73]

Talking heads just said 6 conference champions then the next 6 highest rated.
So the 6th team is a crap shoot.

That was under the BCS era. I think this will be somewhat different. ND will have a real shot at one of the at large spots most years..

Yep. And with the AAC losing its best teams, the Mountain West has to feel good about its chances to be in the mix for the No. 6 spot most years, aka the highest ranked G5 conference team

Yep but that just shows that they can write the rules however they wish.

So it's the. 6 highest rated conference champions.

Which means that 6th team is a crap shoot.
Plus the G5 isnt getting an at large bid.

[MWC]

The MW could get poached, though..

[WhoRepsTheLurker]

The highest ranked G5 conference will get an automatic berth in the playoff for their champion.

That means at least one G5 school every year.

The at large spots will be very hard to come by for G5..

Yes, we are back where we started. There will be no "splits" in the foreseeable future

At least 1 G5 is in. Right now, that team is coming from the MWC, which should make the AAC hungry ...

Why would you do it? Why would you give up an odds-on favorite to win a trophy in Frisco TX every year, a trophy of which you have several?

You do it for the money. You do it for the brand. You do it for the opportunity to go into a P5 environment like we saw last night and end their season, while earning an opportunity to try to do it again the following weekend. That is a much bigger deal than dominating weaker competition for the "W" year after year in in FCS

But I don't make this call. None of us do ...
