This would be the lineup if we had an 8-team playoff with the P5 champs, highest ranked G5 champ and two at-large teams (assuming highest rank in the champion right now): 8. USF (G5 Champ) at 1. Alabama (SEC Champ) 7. Wisconsin (Big Ten at-large) at 2. Clemson (ACC Champ) 6. TCU (B12 Champ) at 3. Penn State (Big Ten Champ) 5. Washington (PAC12 Champ) at 4. Georgia (SEC at-large) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like they would never let Boise State get to the title game during their great runs and one year matched them with a fellow G5 (at the time) TCU to further minimize their success. Before Western Michigan lost last year by a TD, the G5 rep in a major bowl had won the prior 3. No way they risk a G5 upsetting Alabama and getting close to a national title. As it is a G5 could go undefeated back to back years and still be kept out of the top 4. That’s how they want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without this format, a G5 getting into an 8-team playoff is far more likely than a 4-team one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be the perfect plan to make all conferences relevant and have a chance to be in contention for the national title. I think this would give the P5 enough of a leg up on the G5 too that they could go along with it. Edited October 9, 2017 by Bull Dozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, NCAA Division 1A Baseball is DOUBLING the participants of their PlayOff Teams. Edited October 9, 2017 by E.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
