why would the big 10 and sec want anyone from acc or big 12? they wouldn't increase the payout per school. and when they expand playoffs to 12 ACC champ will get autobid

don't understand your line of thinking. here is the ncaa site. States that top 6 ranked conference champs make the playoffs. (they will change this as the pac 12 will no longer exist). That means highest ranked g5 champ is in. they earned it. No pity involved. If you looked at the teams that would be currently in and the conferences they will be in next year then you would have 5 SEC teams, 5 Big 10 teams, 1 ACC team and Liberty. Of course they would have to knock out either a big 10 or sec team to get a big 12 team in there. So much for power 4.....lol I get that the sec and big 10 will dominate playoff members and there might even be people screaming that it's unfair that a 9-4 oklahoma state gets in over a 10-2 ole miss but that's the way it is until they expand again. I could see the big 10 and sec splitting off but I don't think the crumbs they throw to g5 (or even acc and big 12) will cause that to happen. How the 12-team College Football Playoff will work: Teams, schedule, bids WWW.NCAA.COM Here's a breakdown of how the new 12-team college football playoffs will work －starting next year － according to CFP officials.

yeah the actual perspective because those are the actual rules in place. you assume they will take something away. that our situation will somehow become worse. Pessimist - 1. a person who tends to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen. they are expanding the playoffs and that will benefit everyone including g5 schools. the "power" schools will get 7 more playoff spots and g5 gets 1.

I won't be shocked if the sec and big 10 break off that could be tough though because every other conference could say f you then we won't play you in any other sport.. not sure what you are saying as far as basketball v football but look at the revenue generated by both playoffs. I assume the g5 will get 1/12th of football playoff revenue(or whatever pittance they get for each round). That's 92%(or more) of revenue to the "power" conferences. I'm willing to bet that the power schools get far less % of the basketball revenue and they started out with 100% of that. I get you're a pessimist and assume everything will work out for the worst but the playoffs expanding is good for everyone including the g5 schools.

again that is your pessimistic assumption. unless you have a crystal ball, I'll go with the rules in place. like I said, basketball has become more inclusive as they have expanded the playoffs to the benefit of everyone involved.

sure but smu had 2 losses. our commissioner is out there complaining about it. rankings will always be subjective and there will always be people who claim it isn't fair. they still do that for the basketball tourney and they let in **** near everybody. the 13th placed team will complain next year how unfair it is.

Liberty was the highest ranked g5 team. If tulane had beaten smu then they would have gone in their place even though tulane already had a loss and liberty was undefeated. unfortunately when there are only 4 spots and 5 supposed power conferences then someone will be left out. acc conference was by far the weakest I guess if fsu beats georgia then they can claim a national title like ucf did.

and in doing so they included the top ranked g5 team. did you know that the ncaa basketball tournament used to be 8 teams? they expanded to 16 and then 32 and now they are at 64 (or whatever nonsense with play in games). you do realize that as they added teams they included more and more of the lower conference champs right? they promote it as march madness. where every d-1 conference champ in the country has a chance to win national championship. they talk about "cinderella" teams non stop. if they were still at 8 teams from only "power" conferences almost nobody would watch.

how does this year bear that out? again they changed the rules to include the top ranked g5 team with the expanded playoffs. it actually benefits them in that fans of all those g5 teams now actually believe they have a shot at winning a national championship. it will actually get more people to watch and many fans of smaller programs will be pulling for the g5 champ in the playoffs.

when they actually change the rules, you may have a point. wouldn't it be ironic if the aac champ makes the playoffs next year

word salad. fact is the rules in place include the highest ranked g5 team in the payoffs starting next year. that would be liberty with the #133 ranked schedule. you can assume whatever you want but until it actually happens you are wrong. What an expanded 12-team College Football Playoff would have looked like this season WWW.USATODAY.COM College Football Playoff expansion is coming next year. But what if it was 12 teams this season? A look at what the field would have looked like.

You seem to be able to see the future. any lottery advice? as far as I'm aware, the rules state that the highest ranked g5 team makes the playoffs. until that is actually changed, you are wrong. this year Liberty with the #133 ranked schedule would be in the playoffs. Oh and if our conference mate tulane had won their game they would be the ones in the playoffs and the irony is they would have been taken over an undefeated liberty while having one loss.

again the rules were changed to include teams like liberty. that's why we're going to 12 teams. there are 5 supposed power conferences and only 4 playoff spots now. someone has to be left out

it won't be rectified. just look at basketball. they let in conference champs from much smaller "less deserving" leagues every year. in fact that's the reason they are going to 12 teams. so they can be more inclusive. the only way things will change is if the big 10 and sec break off. otherwise there will always be a representative from the g5.

It just stands to reason(and has been proven over and over again) that a team that moves up in competition will lose more. Losing more will mean you make the playoffs less often especially now that it's going to 12 teams.

just proof that it won't matter who you play. doesn't matter if you think it won't continue. They are playing in a NY6 bowl with the worst strength of schedule (#133) in the country and they would be in the playoffs if/when they go to 12.

FSU wouldn't sniff a 4 team playoff if they played in sec. it's one thing to beat up on the likes of boston college, duke and wake forest. besides they are going to a 12 team playoff next year. even liberty gets in without a win against a top 25 school and the worst strength of schedule in the country.

not sure what this means?

don't care what poncho said. determining how good/bad a coach or team is after 4 games is dumb. oh and variance on 3pt% can easily explain these small sample size results. could we be a bad team and could this coach be a terrible fit? sure but maybe we should wait for a larger sample size (4 games??lol)

4 games in and they are writing off the new coach and players.....laughable 3pt% is what's killing us. 48% (14-29)against in 2 losses compared to 8% for (3-37) heck Knox is shooting 11% from 3 compared to 41% from 3 last year. small sample size.

He can play on Sundays from a p5 school too. Obviously he would only leave for the right situation but $1m is essentially the signing bonus for an early third round pick. Nothing says he couldn't get a "retention" bonus from his new school of the same amount next year too.

Battie was a kick returner for us as he was for them. He didn't return punts.Had 24 returns for 562 yards for auburn.

who's to say you can't have both? or that the nfl was even realistic? NFL isn't drafting RBs like they used to. might as well get the money while you can.

No certainly not.
