G5 conference would not want BYU to join.
Why would there be any reason to think that might be the case?

If G5 received an auto bid to an 8 team playoff, would G5 conferences shut out

They already do for the autobid to the NY6. Imagine it would be the same

If this happens, my money is on BYU doing everything it can to join the AAC...

Right but it makes you wonder if we need to move now before they have all the

HONOMO

It does not make me wonder that.

Why? Do you think they'd welcome us either way?

HONOMO

12/11/19 5:39pm

of course they would

You sound like Ute fans before they got smashed.

Explain to me the reasoning why a conference wouldn't want BYU at any time.

ManicBlue

For example:

HONOMO

12/12/19 2:22pm

Um ... yeah. I hardly see any conference member deferring to BSU so they can run

ManicBlue

12/12/19 3:22pm

They would still need to be the highest ranked G5 team, so any help to conference sos would be appealing

Let's just hope that the contingency of going to a G5 conference due to changes

I hate to open this can of worms again but AAC would be awesome but

1. I thought Uconn was going back to the Big East. 2. When is the Big Ten

Never. Rutgers get them the NYC market.

If the AAC is so great, why is every decent team trying to get out?

ManicBlue

12/11/19 10:42pm

Haven't heard that. Maybe to a P5 conference. I don't think UCF, Memphis...

They might if they could get their own TV deal with ESPN.

ManicBlue

12/12/19 10:31am

Heck no! They would want the best they can get. More games=more money.

No way they let a G5 into the playoff every year, if at all...ever.

12/11/19 5:43pm

The current thinking is probably 1 is better than 5. The bigger question is

TrueBlue67

12/11/19 5:44pm

Of course not. And of course G5 would not be included in an 8 team playoff

Plato

12/11/19 5:44pm

And you know this...how?

Which part? I can't think of a reason

Plato

12/11/19 5:47pm

I agree with that comment. My question is why would the best G5 be let out?

TrueBlue67

12/11/19 5:53pm

They just wouldn't do it, IMO cause it wouldn't be deserved.

Plato

12/11/19 9:34pm

Why did they give the G5 an automatic NY6 bid?

displacedute

12/11/19 9:45pm

NY6 autobid is a consolation prize to keep the G5 in line, nothing more

morningcalmcougar

12/11/19 10:03pm

Sure, but those same things would push for a G5 inclusion in an 8-team playoff.

displacedute

12/12/19 12:02pm

The anti-trust issues may drive them to an automatic inclusion, or use an

12/12/19 3:03pm

They won't expand if there's no guarantee for P5 champs of some sort

displacedute

12/12/19 5:45pm

Should be strictly top 8. Years like this year are proof. Memphis

Lieutenant America

Nothing would change. CFP would still be owned and managed

Everyman

12/11/19 5:45pm

No auto bids. Make nonconference games count for more than just seeding.

Blue Cat

Just make conference championships the first round imo

A few thoughts:

rocker

12/11/19 6:43pm

Why do they give a G5 automatic NY6 bid?

displacedute

12/11/19 7:26pm

It’s certainly possible and if so, terrific.

rocker

12/11/19 7:38pm

Except you are excluded from g5.

displacedute

12/11/19 7:50pm

And as I acknowledged that brings up the question if that might convince BYU to

rocker

12/11/19 8:02pm

They would have one G5 auto bid for the same reason they do now:

12/11/19 7:38pm

Would love to see it expand to 12. P5 conference champs, highest ranked G5 champ

bigbossbyu

12/12/19 1:22am

I still think 16 is the best option. It only adds two more games to the current
