So I've gotten roasted for my take of this on X. Which honestly surprises me.
Those against this feel we are laying down and accepting we aren't in the same level. That we should at least have a chance.
Well I partly agree. We should have a chance. But we aren't the same as UGA or Michigan or Bama has been. And really few even Power teams are.
Right now our access to the CFP is improved over the 4 team, but our only chance in making it is being the highest ranked G5 champ. As we saw last year and before, that means going at worst 11-1 as a champ. Period.
With a playoff, we could make it at 9-3. Win our conf, win the G5 playoff, and boom. CFP spot. Heck, if they do it right and make it 4 conferences you could have 2 at large and give a non-champ a chance.
Honestly someone explain to me why that is a bad thing and how it is giving up on a chance?
I firmly believe it should be all FBS conf champs in the playoff, but that'll never happen. I'm beginning to think some sort of relegation is the only answer but that means splitting football off completely. So who knows.
But how is a G5 playoff "admitting defeat", when it actually will give more teams a chance at the CFP?
