Not true.  Undefeated Colorado was eliminated after week 3 or 4 according to ESPN's prediction system.

its a prediction, they were predicting them to lose

that's not how it was presented, but even then half your division has no chance by your explanation

They lose their chance after they lose games. Are you trying to say that if a team in P5 goes undefeated they will get left out?

I'm saying the system is absurd.

The entire p5/g5 construct is a joke.  It does eliminate a large portion of the teams before the first snap.  It creates a ceiling that cannot be breached.  It's a good ol boys club.  Sounds a little like certain parts of our society (not to start a political debate, just funny how sports can mimic society).

Thats fine but it doesn't eliminate 80% of FBS, just the G5.  The kicker here is from the P5 perspective, its take it or leave it because they don't need us.

It is a possibility, if not probable ....

You're arguing semantics because ... well ..........   Undefeated Colorado was eliminated according to ESPN and there were people debating whether 2 loss UGA should still be in.   Last year Bama got in over the team that had beaten them a week earlier but was unfortunate enough to actually make the SEC championship game and lose.  The system is absurd for everyone except the select few

IT is definitely possible if a PAC 12 team goes undefeated they could be left out.

It makes sense. They played nobody and the conference is a joke. 

We need to get out of this conference ASAP. If not then we will lose all of our fans due to indifference.

Link please, but I think you are referencing a prediction if they were predicting them to finish the season undefeated they wouldn't have them eliminated. 

and there were people debating whether 2 loss UGA should still be in.   Last year Bama got in over the team that had beaten them a week earlier but was unfortunate enough to actually make the SEC championship game and lose.  The system is absurd for everyone except the select few

and most people were saying that if Auburn had won, they probably would have gotten in and Alabama left out. But they did't

    "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
