A new and better FBS thread

There is so much misinformation and disinformation in this thread holy shit lol

[ByeSonBusiness]

Well… I’d say its highly unlikely that any G5 conference would be the highest rated if it’s second place team is 6-4 heading into the championship game. But yeah you could have a loss or 2 maybe… more than likely you’d have 2 teams with 1 loss combined heading in…

Yeah if you got 4 losses, its not looking good for the conference.

But the way I'm interpreting it isn't that the its about the highest rated conference...I'm interpreting it as the highest rated champion of a conference?

Does anyone actually know which it is?

not by me!

IF NDSU is in the MWC.
the MWC finished with the HIGHEST G5 RANKING...
NDSU wins the MWC title game

then NDSU is in the college football playoff

^FACTS FACTS FACTS^

It's the highest rated champion.

However, if you look at CFP ratings last year, the only teams that had a chance outside the AAC teams were SBC (Troy and South Alabama I believe).
Multiple AAC teams were also ranked throughout the season, and Tulane got there by beating them.

Which conference you are in absolutely matters, because that determines your SOS, and ranking.
Tulane didn't start off the highest ranked, but ended there because of enough AAC wins.

History shows it works this way every year. If another AAC team knocks off Tulane, they will move up.
SBC has a chance, MWC has a chance. MAC would need more improvement besides just NDSU joining.

You have to be the champion of the highest rated conference.

Depends entirely on how much history you look at. 20 years ago Miami Ohio out of the MAC probably should have been the team.

The overall conference ratings do not matter in a 12 team CFP - in fact I don't even know they would calculate that since the CFP committee just ranks the top 25 teams so their would be no way to quantify those teams outside of the top 25 to get a full conference rating. If #2 Clemson and unranked North Carolina meet in the ACC Championship and North Carolina wins they don't automatically get into the CFP because the ACC is one of the 6 strongest conference nationally. UNC would have to be one of the 6 highest ranked champions in the CFP final top 25.

I thought P5 conference champions got autobids?

The top 4 ranked conference champions get the top 4 seeds. The top 6 ranked conference champions make the tournament. By ranked they mean the team’s position in the selection committee’s top 25.
