The 12-Team "Playoff"

[CajunNation]

Here is the 24 team FCS style bracket for this year. This is for fun and I get a lot of requests to see what it would look like. Don’t take it too serious. Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/cLxRWuznXb

Dude copied my playoff.

A compliment, an endorsement, pliagerism, great minds, or something else?

The 12 team playoff is still a joke. Until the playoff system is all inclusive, there will never be a true playoff champion.

Again, if the P5's have no problem playing the G5's during the regular season, then the G5's should be given an equal opportunity to be able to play for the national championship game in post season. And again, I will state the G5's will probably humiliated in the first 4-5 years, but after that, the G5's will carry their own and the playing field will become more level.

Please explain how the G5 will magically become competitive after 4-5 years of playing in the playoffs.

It won't be magic, and it won't happen, across the board. (It hasn't happened across the board in the P5 ranks)

A level post season playing field would bring in more donors and make recruiting easier.

Yes that's what exists now.

More exposure erases blind trust.

All I know is that not only do teams know they now have a shot at pulling off a historical kick a.. season but the fan bases can be marketed this point as well. The fan is the mark.

Everyone remembers the BCS. it was a 100% certainty no small market program was going to upset the "levers of power". FF to today and the P5s now have free agency and are paying players. (So can we but you get the point).

There is only one thing Louisiana Football has to do.

There's also the fact that going to the NFL is still a dream for most athletes, especially the talented ones. They won't all play so going to a P5 is not always a good option. Sure you can take a couple hundred grand upfront to sit on the bench, but why do that when you can star at a G5, still go to the playoffs, and potentially make millions in the NFL?
More talented players means more opportunities for success.
