Based on the metrics that was agreed to when college football went to this system, they don’t deserve a spot and we wouldn’t deserve a spot. Would some on here feel we would yes, but that doesn’t change anything. There is a slim chance the G5 will ever get a shot, that’s the reality. If you don’t like that, you should be advocating to drop to FCS because the only way you will play for a national title. The major players in the P5 control their schedules and would never allow the G5 a legit shot. If you get a couple of the mid tier P5 teams on your schedule, like both schools have, and they end up ranked there’s a chance. But that’s not the case here.

The reality is, we are much closer to a split between the P5 and the G5 the being included in the current CPF and that’s how the P5 wants it. The question will be, will an expansion accompany that?

Would love to know your thoughts on the rest of that post.

Honestly, not to be rude, I only skimmed it.  Seeing Auburn and sensing it was another post claiming the validity on a bowl win and some transitive scores or who beat who nonsense.  The resume for UCF is not even close to being considered.  Sorry.  it's just how it is.

And yes, again, had USF run the table and beat all the AAC teams, the same would be true.

God forbid anyone but Alabama, Clemson, or Notre Dame win the playoffs.  A bowl win for UCF and they'll be claiming another National Championship

That's what they decided to do a handful of years ago.  They honestly don't care if UCF wins 20 straight games or closes its program.  They don't care.  Why should they?  

Hence why many decry this conference and the whole fake P6 crap and the fake UCF Nat Champs silliness.  It's all a desperate attempt to use some sophomoric reasoning on why the AAC or UCF matters when neither does. 

Why does the AAC and UCF matter? Because unlike the overpriced SEC/B10, the AAC brings in a lot more Viewer:Adverstising revenue than what they pay for their other conferences. The best way to enhance that is by promoting it so that more advertisers are willing to spend even more money while ESPN pays the AAC scraps (~8m/year). The AAC dwarfs the B12 market of potential consumers, why not do what ESPN does best and maximize that potential?

No, they play in the tournament for their division.  

Exactly, for their division. Divion 5A and 6A football is clearly demarcated and one has nothing to do with the other. Just like division 1 FBS and division 1 FCS in college football. The problem here is that teams like UCF and USF are in the same division 1 FBS as the Alabamas, Clemsons, Notre Dames, and Oklahomas. Why is it that half the league gets a shot at a title and the other half gets left behind when, supposedly, they're all in the same division of college football?

I think it's Mark Emmert that would tell you it is what it is.

A lot of the FBS teams in the P5 get screwed too, but they are raking in the cash, so they do not complain.

Why is it that the NCAA basketball tournament is so much fun for so many schools and so many fans, while the NCAA bowl season is only fun for the same 5 - 6 teams?

Is there anything out there that supports the idea that the AAC has more viewers and revenue that the SEC or Big 10?

No offense taken.

However, making the statement "The resume for UCF is not even close to being considered" without a single fact or rebuttal on all the data I provided in my initial post; makes this a lazy opinion based argument at best. You can't tell me ND and Clemson's schedule are so far superior to UCF's, and their wins are vastly superior, that it's a black and white comparison.

Clemson and ND get the "benefit of the doubt" simply by being Clemson and ND. However, actual game data where a direct comparison of UCF/ND and Clemson's performance shows that they are in the same league and it's anyone's guess who would win.

Don’t worry, the G5 will get its own division soon
