They’ll never let all FBS conference champs have a seat at the table. This is about as good as we could have reasonably expected. It gives the finger to ND, ensures at least 1 G5 conference a playoff seat, allows higher ranked G5 non conference champions an opportunity for at-large selection, protects the regular season and gives schools opportunity to make big money with on campus playoff games. It also allows players to stay closer to home and good coaches (like the one we have now) to assemble and maintain coaching winning programs at non traditional football powers (G5).
This is a big deal. It’s a huge deal. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
