non-P5 team. If we are the highest ranked team not in a P5 conference, we will get the invite. With our schedules, there is no way a 10-2 BYU team isn't going to normally outrank the AAC or MWC champion, except in some seasons. An undefeated BYU will ALWAYS be ranked higher than an undefeated MWC/AAC champion because we would have to run a gauntlet of a schedule. Not saying NY6 will be a shoe-in by any means, but the fact that we are Indy is not a roadblock. If we win, we are in.

And when we get in, we don't have to split the pay$$ with a bunch of conference members. If (BIG IF) we can get to a NY6 once every 3 to 5 years, the $$ would be WAY better than joining a G5. Tough to shoot for, but even as a member of MWC or AAC getting to NY6 more often would not be any easier.
