It's established to reward the P5 while throwing enough of a bone to the G5 to avoid proof of collusion and monopoly. It's not fair it never will be. It's similar to the unwritten rule that many gas stations operate on. This station is always the same price as the one across the street or a few cents higher or lower. Do the station owners communicate to keep this price fixing in place. They don't have to just look at the big sign and price accordingly. BYU will have to be way better than the other teams. You want evidence it's everywhere. Boise missing a QB bad for BYU. Clemson missing a QB no big deal for Notre Dame. Opponents and opponents opponents winning percentage well your only playing conference games so that's naked in too more so this year. BYU can only keep their mouth shut and keep winning and let others fight their fight for them. Independence can be a lonely place albeit a more profitable lonely place.
