Exactly.
We may have a HARDER schedule, but not in the eyes of the P5.
AAC is small time, like the rest of the G5 (from their view)
Example: Houston 2016-2017
Zero chance for USF? No.. ZERO chance for the G5
There is ZERO margin of error - and good luck getting a good schedule (AAC teams to risky for the top P5 teams)
That's why, in an 8-team (5/2/1) the entire G5 should lobby for one auto bid, since the P5 (even the Big 12) gets an auto bid, with 2 at large.
We give the P5 more autonomy and we get thrown a bone. That's how this has always worked.
Not going to happen... even if we 'qualify'... we don't bring enough fans for the CFP committee to consider us for a playoff spot... you might see a 'runner-up' P5 team take it instead.
I said this before, and I will say it again --- No G5 team will make the playoffs
No room for error -- CFP only cares about schools that have fans whom travel well (*cough OSU)
