8 Team Playoff, BYU and G5. I agree with Spencer, but think Jarom is right.

If you don't have aspirations for the playoffs, why do you even field a team?

There are at least 70 other schools that have no chance to make the playoff.

Giving the G5 an auto bid in a 8 team playoff would be really dumb
DieHarder
12/12/19 10:33am
They have to do this, or separate P5 and G5 completely.

It would be dumb in BYU's eyes. I don't think anyone else in the country would

How often is a G5 one of the 8 best teams in the country? It doesn’t make sense unless they go 12 or 16

The 8 team format is not about puting in the 8 best teams.
Josef K

Well said.

And, it likely includes both the 4 best and the 4 most-deserving...

You should revisit your statement

They'd have to put a limit. Like must be ranked top 10

No. there is still WAY to much opinion based in the polls

Consider too that the AAC's new TV deal is something like 7 mil a year. Thats
Klompus
12/12/19 10:39am
BYU isn't interested in the AAC. Aren't interested in the MWC either
TNT
12/12/19 10:41am
Again, Im not arguing this. Similar to Jaroms point, I hate it, but its reality.
Klompus
12/12/19 10:52am
A *significantly expanded* AAC could make sense
Doogal McCougar
12/12/19 10:49am
I think an 8 team playoff with access for G5 could spur such a change.
Klompus
12/12/19 10:54am
Travel would be brutal. They'd need at least a group of four teams

Of course it would be easier in a G5 conference purely because of the easier

How am I wrong? UCF finished #12 before bowls. But your last point makes sense.
Klompus
12/12/19 10:55am
I said any conference champ in the top 12. That was UCF both years.

12/12/19 11:09am
Yeah, but they might have been nudged to 13 if it really mattered.
rcbyufan
12/12/19 11:14am
The 8 team, conference champ scenario is essentially a 14 team playoff.
Josef K
12/12/19 10:50am
This would leave room for bias by the committee

exactly. this cannot be based on polls.

It basically boils down to this. BoT, AD, and fans are on different pages

Would going to the AAC make recruiting significantly better?
SoCalCoug
12/12/19 10:53am
Better question: Can BYU recruit better if they can sell NC chance as AAC member
Klompus
12/12/19 10:58am
Short answer: Probably not
TNT
12/12/19 11:02am
Depends on who BYU is recruiting
superdoo

With access to the playoff, there'd be a chance for Gonzagas & Butlers in CFB

BYU might have a better chance of making it as a G5 but they have a way better

BYU recruting is clearly worse now than when in the MWC. Look at 247.

If you want a good playoff, it's 8 teams, and it's only the best 8 in college

That's a subjective standard with Big10 and SEC biases built-in.

UConn is leaving the AAC, so they are looking to add 1 or 3, for 12 or 14.
