A new and better FBS thread

[KSBisonFan]

That’s how every other sport works where the champion of a chump conference like The Summit League goes to March Madness when a better team in a big boy conference stays home.

And the payout structure is totally different in March Madness than football. Those lower level basketball teams are just place-holders & cannon fodder for the major conference teams who, in the end, collect the overwhelming majority of the payout shares for their conferences.

Difference is the NCAA tournament gives the perception that all teams get to share in the money. The CFP doesn't waste time with perceptions.

As predicted, two loss AAC SMU gets the NY6 over undefeated Liberty.

Proves a CUSA team will never see the playoffs in FBS.

Proof the the FBS has already split, they just haven't told the public about it.

If CUSA is the highest ranked conference their champion gets that G5 CFP spot

The conference needs to move to the second tier of college football.

It has little to do with how good the conference is. It’s about how good the committee thinks the conference champion is. The committee doesn’t rank conferences. They rank teams.

All this proves is that the committee is smart enough to do better than just counting W’s and L’s.

With a larger field, they don't have to make the controversial decision of placing more value on some team's Ls than other team's Ws.

They’ll still have to do it but the difference between 4 and 5 will be a bye week rather than access to the championship. The difference between 8 and 9 will be a home game and the decision on who gets left out will come at 11 and 12 instead of 4.

A much easier pill to swallow, IMO…
