    I can't hate on this at all... Simply beautiful. USF's admin fumbled many opportunities... I understand OP's concerns

    I wish that I had made this trip

    I love basketball and I'm really interested to see the progress Gregory has made.
  4. Bear
    That works

    Let's just go to 16-teams. 10 FBS Conf Champs; and 6 At-Large. No excuse... FCS and NFL, and every other competition known to man has a better post-season structure than FBS college ball. Pathetic.

    Under the current system; a G5 team will NEVER make the playoffs... unless, the stars align and they: They go undefeated in one season; THEN they happened to have scheduled the right P5 teams in the next season; THEN they will need to undefeated again; AND the winnings will need to be convincing. ALSO, the top 4 P5 teams must lose at least 1 game to a non-top 10 team. If all these happen, then the G5 team can make the playoffs.

    Actually, I would donate to USF academics (get that AAU); and then I would start/fund an anti-trust lawsuit agains the P5. If that fails, I would help lobby to get USF into the P5. (can't beat 'em, join 'em)

    This isn't a bad idea

    College football needs to expand the playoff. I used to say 8 teams; but, let's just go to 10 and be done. no excuses.

    Maybe it will grow on everyone...

    You described USF in a nutshell
  12. Bear
    Rutgers is a prime example
  13. Bear
    ****! That money would be nice... We need to get into the P5
  14. Bear
    True!

    1.) Getting into the P5 2.) Winning a conference championship in Football 3.) Making it to the Final Four in Men's basketball 4.) Growing our fanbase in the Tampa area (on the level of FSU, UF fans) 5.) Oh hell, an OCS.

    Probability is less than 1% being a G5 school... /EndThread
  17. Bear
    Uncle Karl was right It sucks for the G5
  18. Bear
    That's why I advocate for an 8-team playoff - reserving 5 spots for P5 champs; 1 for G5 champ (highest ranked); and 2 At-Large... This would diminish the "strength of schedule" bias somewhat.

    The games against UCF when we were Big East, and they were CUSA.. were still great! And the stadiums still filled up!
  20. Bear
    CFP > BCS... Just because it actually requires effort to make the championship game... It's just like Obamacare... Better than what was before it; but still trash.
  21. Bear
    We are dealing with it... But this is NOT sustainable... The disparity will continue to increase; unless a fundamental change happens... Playoff structure change; media deals change; and USF admin gets more fans to the games and we have better buy in... We are already winning in football - and I'm hoping for a turnaround in basketball...

    I've been saying it for years - No G5 team will ever make the CFP. The AAC is no where near P5, and that is because of money! The best compromise that we (G5) can do right away is lobby for a 8-team playoff. 5 spots for P5 champs (that way all conference commissioners would buy in, except the SEC maybe); change the 1 NY6 for the G5 to a guaranteed spot; and 2 At-large/Wild Card spots. Seeding is according to CFP rank. This way, the G5 can directly compete and no excuses can be made about P5 teams 'not trying'. Also, the G5 spot may be ranked higher, because would you really want to knock out the No. 1 seed because of bias?
  23. Bear
    I don't get your point... Who said anything about NOT having a rivalry? Also, FSU and UF are not in the same conference. I wouldn't mind USF being in the P5; but still playing UCF (in the G5) every year; However, my biggest fear is for it to be vice versa.
  24. Bear
    We need to stop the whole package deal garbage... We will only see ourselves on the outside looking in. We need to make USF a strong stand-alone product (like we were before). I still feel that our administration is doing a terrible job with attendance and city/fan support (especially compared to UCF).
  25. Bear
    This is correct.
