Are we still eligible for the playoff?

interesting concept: we join aac and essentially every year the conference

we need boise.

johnnycarson

10/20/17 8:56am

Boise has no fan base to speak of

Nat Gas Man

10/20/17 8:56am

but we need them in the league with us, to make it the best g5 league.

johnnycarson

10/20/17 8:57am

fan base size is the most important metric...CSU or SDSU are much better

Nat Gas Man

10/20/17 9:02am

Boise has national brand recognition

2FarGone

and is a good team. we can't have boise stealing an ny6 invite. we need to

johnnycarson

This is easier said than done because CFB is cyclical

CaliWG

10/20/17 9:21am

but get as close as we can and see what happens. talent would migrate to the

johnnycarson

10/20/17 9:23am

Yes, but the NY6 bid goes to the highest rated G5

CaliWG

10/20/17 9:28am

Make the AAC a 16 team league, with Boise, us, SDSU and CSU/AFA.

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 11:18am

why would the existing teams want to take less money? Their CFP $12M paycheck

Nat Gas Man

10/20/17 11:23am

For the exact reason I outlined. You want to become a "P6" (their stated goal)?

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 11:28am

SDSU? Team that plays in an empty NFL stadium? Good one.

Oh..

BSUbluNorange

10/21/17 10:09am

To say Boise State has no fan base is completely idiotic. Get a clue.

RockyTopCougar

10/20/17 2:57pm

Agreed. BSU games on ESPN attract a lot of viewers

Boise sucks Donkey

no idea. but that's like wondering if liz hurley just knocked on my door.

johnnycarson

10/20/17 8:59am

Yes. The top 4 ranked teams play, regardless of conference (or lack thereof).

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 11:19am

While it's technically possible, it will never happen.

antiyewt

10/20/17 11:47am

Same as an Indy. No reason to think the P5 will ever share the playoff.

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 11:51am

Agreed

We'd win the AAC like we win the West Coast Conference. . .

It needs a network, streaming or otherwise

2FarGone

10/20/17 9:03am

fine. we have an hd truck and a big building.

johnnycarson

10/20/17 9:04am

The problem is then undefeated or 1 loss teams like WMU & NIU get the bid

CaliWG

10/20/17 9:16am

i don't think we're gonna get anyone to agree to anything at the p5 level. so

johnnycarson

10/20/17 9:18am

Non issue... it's the highest ranked G5 whose going to get the spot. 13-1 AAC

46in96

10/20/17 10:16am

The AAC Champ would need to get in as a 2 or 3 loss team as well

CaliWG

10/20/17 10:25am

Last year is a good case study in this WMU got in only after the MWC/AAC champs

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 11:22am

Problem is that you are leaving out programs that are as traditionally as good

CaliWG

10/20/17 11:51am

The MAC has NIU. The Sun Belt has Arkansas State. The MWC would have Fresno.

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 11:54am

People used to say the same thing about Boise in the WAC

CaliWG

10/20/17 12:25pm

Boise and Hawaii got in BCS games because SOS was purposely removed from the BCS

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 1:53pm

It's obviously not P5, but in my opinion that ship has sailed and we should make

Junior Deputy

10/20/17 11:16am

you're the one who got me started on this idea. and i really like it.

johnnycarson

10/20/17 12:42pm

Until they change the rules on the NY6 teams too

antiyewt

10/20/17 1:13pm

Can you imagine what a couple of NY 6 bowls would do to recruiting?

CallingDingo

10/20/17 11:43am

The best thing about joining the AAC would be the strength at the top end of the

TrueBlue67

10/20/17 2:10pm

This is making more sense as time goes on

antiyewt

10/21/17 2:08pm

Not to mention bowl tie ins...

TrueBlue67

10/21/17 3:03pm

That's how Utah for their two BCS wins. MWC was easier too.

More and more fans are seeing the light. Well said.

How is this new?

RoyalCoug99

10/20/17 8:18pm

We don't join and try to make it a p6. We just

johnnycarson

10/20/17 8:34pm

.......... it's been thought of before, since the competition would be easy

RoyalCoug99

10/21/17 5:02pm

We need the best of the best. No room for Tulsa and Tulane in a quasi-P5 conf.
