It would destroy the bowl system which people seem to want to keep. And

I think the G-5 schools, at least the better ones, want to not separate themselves from the P5 schools (as if that has not already happened). Such a tourney would make the most sense if we just split the G-5 and P-5 completely, and I think many would see this as an undesired step in that direction. If (or better when) that split occurs, I think it will be at the instigation of the P-5, not the G-5. Although, I agree with you that such a tournament would be in the best interest of the G-5.

If they don't pull from the number of football staff you can have...trouble -- Stech 05/07/2021 1:22PM

I think that train is already unstoppable. ** -- wwhokie1 05/10/2021 2:30PM

If you think the G5s "need" their own playoffs, then there's nothing -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2021 07:16AM

Why college football continues to give ND such power bugs me. -- Hokester 05/06/2021 08:26AM

I believe it has something to do with Notre Dame having a stake -- VTHokie2000 05/06/2021 9:43PM

That's my point. ND has more power than it deserves. ** -- Hokester 05/07/2021 02:32AM

It deserves it due to the demand and interest. ND isn't going away. -- reestuart 05/07/2021 12:27PM

I don't blame ND at all. They brilliantly market themselves. -- Hokester 05/07/2021 4:00PM

You are so right. -- Hokester 05/07/2021 4:30PM

They have no reason to give up a playoff spot ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 05/03/2021 02:42AM

Agreed the P-65 have no reason to give up a playoff spot, they gain nothing** -- Stech 05/03/2021 5:48PM
