What's this?

You may be right, but don't be surprised if the rankings are skewed


in such a way that the favor the P5 teams. The Committee can CYA itself by using a circular argument. Multiple G5 teams don't deserved to be ranked in the Top 8 because everyone knows G5 teams play a weaker regular season schedule. A G5 team can't beef up its regular season schedule because it is a member of a G5 conference and it is unlikely to receive an invitation to join a P5 conference any time soon.

FWIW even the the P5 conferences are inconsistent with how they treat the G5 schools. Some P5 conferences view certain G5 schools (i.e. UConn, Cincy, Army, Navy, and BYU) as a P5 opponent for scheduling purpose, but yet those schools aren't given the same "respect" given to P5 schools when it comes to the Playoff Poll. So don't be surprised if most years at least the #8 ranked team is left out the Playoffs because the highest ranked G5 team, which may be in the 10s or 20s, is given the 8th seed. Maybe other teams ranked in the Top 8 if the 5 P5 champions are not ranked in the Top 8. The reason I bring this up is because the Playoff Inc., the organization that runs the Playoff, is a private organization just like the BCA or BCS were when they existed. It wouldn't surprise me if the Playoff Inc. and the P5 conferences are in cohorts with each other because everyone wants to maximize the revenue stream. In order to maximize the revenue stream, the Playoffs must have P5 teams (or ideally well known P5 teams) that everyone recognizes even if they are a casual college football fan. If you look at the teams that have made the Playoffs so far, they are pretty much recognizable college football names. At least the Playoffs hasn't had a Wake, Minnesota, Iowa State, Oregon State, or Vandy type team make the Playoffs yet.

  That is how it has been -- M-I-C 12/14/2019 5:05PM
  G5 would be compensated just as they are now. -- HOO86 12/13/2019 10:55PM
  Such a no-brainer , but I do disagree somewhat adamantly with your ND take -- Vippie1 12/12/2019 4:22PM
  You are dead on -- M-I-C 12/13/2019 12:58PM
  4 is the right number..... -- 2hhoop3 12/12/2019 11:14AM
  Delaney “I could be under the right circumstances”. P-4 Conf Champs only -- Stech 12/12/2019 06:58AM
  Would be interesting. Particularly the G5 part. -- Maroon Baboon 12/11/2019 11:16PM
  Not sure how this improves ND’s current situation very much. ** -- seekoHoG 12/11/2019 9:19PM
  It means ND won't ever need to join the ACC for the most part. ** -- Maroon Baboon 12/11/2019 10:44PM
  Yeah, that will be DOA. No matter the scheme to get us in -- goldendomer 12/11/2019 11:21PM
  2 at large bids = not bumping P-5 champ ** -- goldendomer 12/11/2019 9:33PM
  Maybe, but no guarantee they would beat out two higher ranked P5 -- seekoHoG 12/11/2019 9:39PM
  Us vs G5 is not close. This will be fine for us -- goldendomer 12/11/2019 9:58PM
  There will still be a pecking order. But this would be much more favorable -- Maroon Baboon 12/11/2019 11:04PM
  There will be 3 slots after P5 champs. I expect one will be reserved ... -- Atlee Hokie 12/13/2019 3:43PM
  I said ELITE. This year's ND team is NOT elite. -- Maroon Baboon 12/13/2019 3:47PM
  An 11-1 ND team would be considered elite. -- Atlee Hokie 12/13/2019 3:50PM
  It would depend on schedule and other factors. -- Maroon Baboon 12/13/2019 4:42PM
  Swofford was in New York this week. -- HOO86 12/11/2019 6:23PM
  I would be curious to know the G5's reaction to this proposal -- VTHokie2000 12/11/2019 5:42PM
  If G5 team is computer ranked Top 25 (no poll), then they go. -- jesuisvtguy 12/12/2019 09:38AM
  Interesting that North Dakota State was ranked in 2018 -- VTHokie2000 12/12/2019 09:42AM
  They should love it. Particularly if the slot is guaranteed. -- Maroon Baboon 12/11/2019 10:51PM
  That may be true, but any poll is subjective -- VTHokie2000 12/12/2019 08:55AM
  Giving a bid to every FBS champ makes the CFP too big. -- Maroon Baboon 12/12/2019 12:46PM
  Are they really getting "more" access though or is it nothing more -- VTHokie2000 12/12/2019 12:48PM
  The positions aren't mutually exclusive. -- Maroon Baboon 12/12/2019 12:56PM
  I think a lot depends on whether a Highly ranked G5 team -- seekoHoG 12/11/2019 9:31PM
  Thought Delany is retiring... ** -- RJHokie 12/11/2019 5:38PM
