2021 New Orleans Bowl: LOUISIANA (36) MARSHALL (21)

I would vote for this, but it makes too much sense, so it'll never happen.

Yes, won't happen.

Expand the playoffs to 12. Top 6 highest rated conference champs. 5 P5 at large bids and 1 G5 at large bid.

This gives the G5 2 slots and the P5 10 slots.

Conference Champs host round 1. Top 4 get bye weeks.

That would be a huge NO. How about we demand what is available to almost every other sport in the NCAA and every conference champ gets a seat at the table. Minimum 16 teams. Could even go to 24 teams with first round bye for top eight teams.

The NCAA has crumbled recently with just the threat of lawsuits regarding NIL etc. If the G5 conferences would just come together and go enough is enough and tell the P5 we are coming after you I believe they would give in as well. The problem is all the G5's keep hoping their the next one called to take a seat at the captain's table. In reality none of us are getting that call standing alone.

16 teams. All conference champs, 6 at large, max of one at large from each conference.

Boom, instant greatest tournament in sports.

The second it's announced!

Don't think it's going to be that many. We know Smith, Humphrey and Leblanc are out. There may be a couple more, but I don't think any more than that.

I have been wrong before.

I had heard about smith and Humphrey first I hear Leblanc? Did you get the depth chart.

[RaginDave]

If the FCS can do 24, then the FBS can do a minimum of 16, but 24 is doable as well.

Ok, not to go all Boomer or anything, but somebody make what this year's 16 team bracket would be.....

Boomer would just go by the Massey ratings.

Peter got hurt in the championship game.

Can't do that seeding conf champs, Massey has us way down there....

According to Coach Dez, no one is option out, this was just posted on twitter. We do have a handful of players that are banged up, we will know more once the depth chart comes out. Smith came to him and asked if he could sit it out because he wants to get healthy for next year, Humphrey has left the team, but it does not appear it was anything that was a bad situation, just moving on to the next chapter and banged up. He did not mention Leblanc in the article, but I think we could all tell he got hurt in the App game.

My biggest concerns before I see the depth chart would be guys like Max Mitchell and O'Cyrus Torrence. I think we are deep enough at almost every position to withstand a few guys missing, but we are not deep enough on the OL to do so.
