Big East is a non Power conference now you can argue.

I actually kind of like the idea from a spectator standpoint, but I think the ones saying "no" are doing it holding out hope that when the P5 schools expand to a 6 or 8 team playoff, the highest ranked G5 school will get an auto invite. And that's more important long-term. Their own playoff would essentially make them FBC schools and would likely devalue all 5 leagues and their schools/teams.


This.

Any school that supports this asinine idea should go ahead and prepare to drop back down to FCS now.

Would be a nice change of pace from shitty bowl games




People already bitch about bowls where the best G5 teams play each other. Why would they suddenly think better of a playoff that would be giving us the exact same matchups?

I think they should just let all conference Champs top Indy and a WC in let the NCAA take control of the thing and go with it. The Bowls can adjust.

G5 has a legit complaint and the P5 has one also.

If you make those teams go to FCS you're costing approximate 1000 guys scholarships and that's not a road to go down either.

This post is ignorant. The Sunbelt held its own this year. They are a WMU loss away from being the 3rd ranked football conference in the G5 this year behind the AAC and MWC.
You don't get it.

They need to create a new division between FCS and FBS.

If you don't think the group of five is worthy, that means you think the other team would win. What's the problem?
Why would you want a team in the playoff that's not worthy?

You're comparing apples to oranges when comparing the basketball tournament to an expanded football tournament. It's much easier for a mid-major in basketball to compete with the best in basketball. One player that fell through the cracks could make a much bigger impact.
