The College Football Playoff committee has always tossed a bone to Group of Five schools. A bid into a New Year's Six Bowl meant at least the top G5 team in the country could get significant bowl exposure. But CFP expansion talk means that bone is no longer a metatarsal, but a femur.
I think Liberty will land in the AAC when the reshuffle happens. They already have 2 private universities plus Navy as deep pockets members. Liberty brings a big budget, something the rest of the G5 doesn’t want to fight.
Of course there’s an entry fee known. It’s the unknown that gets Liberty in.
The article above said under this format Cincinnati would have hosted Georgia in a playoff game. Can y'all imagine hosting a playoff game against Auburn or Oklahoma in a newly renovated Lourdes stadium. Ofc we're gonna have to run the table with a new coach but a few weeks ago this was impossible and now it's there in front of us if we execute things properly. Let's Geaux Guys. I'm fired up.

So G5 needs to be wise going forward with the definition of a championship, since a regular season championship and a conference championship game winner would fit through the back door nicely for the P5
