G5 Playoff

[Hark Mudspeth]

Haha, well possibly I combined the two conversations I am having on here at the same time, I apologize.
But on NDSU, 10/10 times they would throttle us.

Yes they would throttle us

9-4 or 10-2. We still in the NOLA Bowl. I'm not naysaying or being regressive. I'm simply stating reality.
You lack of acknowledging reality is naysaying and will end up being regressive. But hey hold that rope. One day if the stars align, we might play Vandy in the Camellia bowl.

As the CFP is currently structured, 63 G5 schools will not be in the playoffs or a payday Bowl. 54 P5 schools share the same fate.

Do you hear them wanting to break away and do a G5a playoff?

You either want to be FBS, or you don't. Sounds like you don't.

At this point, it is what it is. I just don't see the fault in looking at other ways of postseason competition outside of the absolute worst post season format in any sport in the world.

They lost in the semi's. It's not like they lost before a deep playoff run. James Madison this year would have won the Sunbelt.

And who lost in the other semis? Does anyone really care? I'm sure someone in Lake Chuck may be following it.

Heck, if it had not been reported, I would not have known Mt. Union's run was over too. Anyone here really follow that?

This is a "put Baby in a corner" moment being set up by a whiny MAC program. NIU screwed the pooch when they had their chance so that's definitely part of it. They got a taste of it and don't see it in the foreseeable future, so let's change the rules.

I'll agree with you on that. No post season format will be good enough until it is inclusive of all FBS conferences. My "Mother" plan has been put forth for many years. http://csnbbs.com/thread-801483.html

The CFP has gone from 2 to 4. The talk already has begun to move it to 8. The G5 conferences need to make sure that 1 of these slots is reserved for a G5 representative. We have to get our foot in the door, and the time to do that is now.

And who outside of a 10 mile radius of Lafayette and Hattiesburg knows who lost the NOLA Bowl?

These ____ant Bowls are no more prestigious than the FCS playoff.

Eastern Wash lost the other semi by the way.

I agree, I just don't see them giving us a seat

That plan is my favorite by the way. This is what should be pushed

Thanks.

I used basketball for inspiration. There is roughly 20% of the D1 basketball schools that participate in the tourney. It turns out that roughly 20% of the FBS schools equals the Top-25.

Then I had to worry about length of the playoff with so many teams, so the idea of the Bye was born. The Bye also serves as a reward for the top-8 seeds.

The Home field format is important for a couple of reasons. It allows for G5 schools with special seasons to host a first round game. It gives Cinderella a chance. Also, it serves as a financial reward for those schools seeded 8-16 in hosting. Big time money maker for those schools(beats going to those crappy, money losing Bowls you talk about).

Finally, this format allows for those schools who had great years, but missed the playoffs to still go to those Bowls that survive like the Citrus, Outback, etc. Football version of the Nit.

If App or Troy had gone undefeated, they would be about to play Wisconsin in the Cotton Bowl.

WMU played an FCS, Geo Sou, Northwestern, Illinois, and the MAC schedule.

Both App and Troy could have run that table.

It's not a matter of if, but when an SBC school makes the Access Bowl.

---I thought I was brave even mentioning some SBC's accomplishments---but they could shoot you for these kind of statements!!! lol
