If there's not a guaranteed spot for a G5 school, it would still be a long-shot.

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.

Sure but thats basketball, not football. A lot of the appeal of college football is that tOSU-Michigan, Bama-Auburn, FSU-UF, is the playoff. The regular season in CFB matters more than any other sport

I think it might.  People hate Bama because of their dominance.  I think folks might want to see the championship with more "Cinderella" love like March Madness.  I think it would work against us if t

I just hope it pushes momentum to go from 4 to 8 teams.

But he said its been proven false! What the hell?!?

I don't have the time to look up the data but final fours with teams like Butler consistently underperform those made up of blue bloods only, TV ratings wise. TV drives everything.

Not even close.

The study, published in the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports, used Nielsen TV ratings to examine the 30 Final Four games that occurred from 2003-2012. 

The jump in ratings is even bigger when two Cinderella teams face off in the Final Four. Nearly 11 million households tuned in when Virginia Commonwealth met Butler in a 2011 semifinal game. Without their respective Cinderella labels, the model predicted an audience of only 6.4 million.

They specialize in quantitative analysis, usually in sports.

But what do they publish their findings in?  A journal of some sort, perhaps?

The regular season only matters for half of the Division. For the other half it is most meaningless, because they don't stand a chance  at the ultimate prize, which is wrong.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
