This is a crawl/walk/run process.
Crawl - Compete with low-level P5 teams, especially those that we should have the geographic advantage.
Walk - Compete with mid-level P5 teams that we have a geographical advantage over AND low-level P5 teams in our geographical area.
Run - Compete with mid-level P5 teams across the nation, regardless of geography.
