G5 Playoff

[Oiler]

I don't think a team from the MAC, SBC, or CUSA will ever play in the access bowl unless one of them has an undefeated champion in a year when Boise, Houston, UCF, USF, and maybe a couple of other teams have one or more losses. A one loss MWC or AAC champion might still get in over our undefeated champ, but at least we'd have a shot.

I also don't think that being a recent FCS call up would affect a team one way or the other.

I don't think that's an absolute. If, and this is a giant if, we go undefeated next year we will have beaten both Ole Miss and TX A&M. One of the big issues facing Western Michigan was they didn't play anyone.

Really.

The CUSA champion was an FCS school 8 years ago.

The school tied for the best record in CUSA was an FCS 3 years ago.

The school that finished 2nd in CUSA West was an FCS 5 years ago.


Let me ask you. Would you rather we kick out App and re-invite Idaho? Do you think CUSA is dying to kick out WKU, ODU and UTSA?

Sure, but those CUSA invites didn't become a league favorite day one of joining. The addition IMO arent the issue. Their immediate success proved how weak our conference was and is. Today, that is not a plus. In due time, I think App St and Ga Southern will help our conference strength. Losing Idaho and NMSU will help. Possibly losing ULM would too.

Did all ten conferences vote before?
Hard to believe saban only wants to play p5, whats stopping him then?

[CajunJack55]

yea and by your account, we won 4 NOLA Bowls during that same time so shouldn't our football brand be bigger? I mean come on, their in the FCS and we in the FBS.

Our brand is bigger. It may not have been last year, but it was bigger 10 years ago and will be bigger 10 years from now.

Beating #5 Michigan on the road as an FCS forever cemented App State in college lore.

Since I've used this link a ton, I'm pretty familiar with it: They request "Appalachian State" (Abbreviated APP) LOL
