Interesting take on CFP by Boise State's AD:

I agree with him.

Side note, doesn't even mention BYU when listing non-conference wins haha.

DraperCoug22

10/18/19 12:50pm

It would be dumb to mention BYU — because they haven't played, yet.

Yeah, that's the joke.

DraperCoug22

10/18/19 12:52pm

He didn’t mention FSU either.

Very honest and realistic reply

I honestly believe you will see P5 and G5 split into two subdivisions with each having a championship

-C9-

10/18/19 12:52pm

Yep, either expand the playoffs to include the G5. Or make your own championship

I agree with you. But if you follow that line of thinking far enough,

Any team in a p5 conference has a shot albeit a slim one at making cfp

Yep, look at Mississippi State a few years ago.

G5s could make it too, but it takes being undefeated and having great wins.

Blue Cat

CFP is set up to exclude any team outside the P5 and ND.

Everyman

10/18/19 1:33pm

No G5s have been undefeated with elite wins.

Blue Cat

10/18/19 1:49pm

And it won't happen. Power conference teams are making a concerted effort

Everyman

10/18/19 2:03pm

Concerted effort is overstating it.

Two years ago, 'Bama hired a new AD, who like Saban, believes that

The home and home change has more to do with fan interest and attendance.

Boise is solid but the gap between great and good in college football is growing

10/18/19 12:54pm

My vote is go to 8 team playoff with one G5 spot

cougfanz

10/18/19 12:57pm

Even 6 with top 2 teams getting bye. 5 conference champs and best g5

Notre Dame got in with the current system. Its still possible for independents

BYU313

10/18/19 1:05pm

Go 8. No reason to give 2 teams a BYE.

10/18/19 1:10pm

I think 8 is best(heck I would prefer 12 or 16) but the argument

What is likely to happen, if CFP expands,

Everyman

10/18/19 1:37pm

They have been getting more inclusive.

Blue Cat

That’s because he’s in the process of applying for P5 AD jobs.

If he wasn't before, he should be now. The BSU faithful have broken out the
