    I guess I'm with you on the 16 team field. It only lengthens the PO schedule from 2 to 4 weeks.

    Not sure that I'm on board with your "earned access" plan for the G5 conference champs. Aside from Cincinnati, that would put Marshall, San Jose State, U. of Buffalo, and Coastal Carolina in the playoffs this year. Are those programs really worthy of a spot?

    FB is not BB. You'd only have 16 teams max and you want those matchups to have a certain quality or competitive level to them. To paraphrase Joe Piscopo, Alabama vs. San Jose State - who cares?
    We don't know until they start playing more often. I don't know how you can be a D2 fan and not support all conferences having access. Using the current FBS model, IUP wouldn't have a chance without going 10-1 or 11-0.

      Marshall (or whomever else) as a low seed:

      Alabama 65
      Marshall 3


      That's the issue. The games would be a joke.

            Yes, but it's great exposure for Marshall and probably the only way they get on Alabama's schedule. Unless they drop down to FCS so Bama can play them week 9.

            The idea of Power 5 is a consolidation of power. Allowing a Conference USA or AAC team to compete threatens the power of the cartel.

                I talked to IUPalum and it was all a big misunderstanding. I did apologize to him. He is a good dude. I would also like to apologize to the forum at large. It had been a tough week.

                • Doc Holliday, recently named Conference USA Coach of the Year, out at Marshall after 11 seasons.

                  Sounds like this came from 'outside' the athletic department -- from those in ($) power. This sounds like a move Pitt is famous for making.

                      Yes, season 3 was entertaining. Some good nostalgia worked into the series. They even covered Kreese's back story.
