What's this?

When the current set up was approved by all conferences, the P5 kept the


option of breaking away from the NCAA and leaving the G5 with nothing on the table, and had they not gotten what they wanted, the P5 would have broken away. Thus the G5 had to accept what the P5 was offering or get left behind.

As such, the G5 accepted 1 Mil per school for the right to be selected in the G5 access bowl and little chance that they would make it to the top 4. Remember UCF the first year they were undefeated were 12th in the polls before the bowls.

I don't see the P5 playing hard ball again against the G5 this time because the G5 rep has done extremely well against elite P5 teams in the Access bowl. As a matter of fact, the first year UCF was undefeated they beat an Auburn team that beat both UGA and Alabama, the 2 teams playing in the CFP championship game. So, UCF's National Championship was really as valid as any G5 National Championship could have been.

That being said, I think the current proposal of 5 P5 champs, 1 G5 rep and 2 at large is pretty generous to the G5. I remember Cincinnati got to 3rd in the BCS rankings the year they went undefeated until they played a Senior Tim Tebow lead Florida team in the access bowl. And I think TCU once got to 4th in the BCS rankings as an MWC member but those were in the days of a computer poll and I don't think we'll be going back to that.

  It can expand with the Conference Championship Games. -- HOO86 12/13/2019 5:55PM
  You are going to run into a problem... -- M-I-C 12/13/2019 10:22PM
  Why would conference champs be seeded higher than at large. No other -- GreencastleHokie 12/14/2019 1:16PM
  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
