I keep reading that expanding the playoff will create more parity between G5/P5

Counterpoint to your first point. That’s a G5 almost every other year in the

BYUCLA

1/12/21 12:40am

I agree with you. The current system in CFB doesn’t allow for a G5 to make it

Alpi Gusto

1/12/21 12:47am

I’m not sure why there shouldn’t be any guarantees to G5’s.

BYUCLA

1/12/21 1:02am

UConn has never been a P5 and were clearly G5 last time they won

RE: point 1. You just listed many mid-majors who made it to the Final 4. How

I’m not sure I’m following the top half of your post

The Zags are literally an example of what you are saying doesn’t happen.

BYUCLA

1/12/21 1:07am

So you're saying Villanova is P5? Or P6 in basketball with the Big East?

RenoCoug

1/12/21 12:59am

There is no P5 in CBB, Big east teams are not considered mid majors.

akmewg

1/12/21 1:04am

The OP said P5, not major/mid major

RenoCoug

1/12/21 1:04am

My bad, I assumed people who followed CBB would understand

Alpi Gusto

1/12/21 1:08am

Clarification to the OP doesn't change the analysis, more teams = more parity

RenoCoug

1/12/21 1:12am

As I mentioned above, UConn has never been P5

1/12/21 1:11am

I don't agree that the Big East was a "weak" basketball conference, still isn't

RenoCoug

1/12/21 1:13am

I'm not claiming it was — but it was not a "P5"

1/12/21 1:27am

Look no further than the Zags, how many weeks have they been ranked #1 in the

Didn’t that happen with Clemson?

Alpi Gusto

1/12/21 1:13am

Clemson's been an above-average team since the late 1970's, early 1980's

RenoCoug

1/12/21 1:17am

No Clemson has the be benefit of P5 money, they have built their program up but

But it is also an argument for the expanded playoff

1/12/21 1:30am

The 1 & done rule is what facilitated this possibility for Gonzaga.

1/12/21 3:33am

How about this, since 2014 (start of the playoff) 11 teams have made the CFP, 20

akmewg

1/12/21 1:08am

For comparison Clemson and BAMA have made 6, OSU and OK 4, ND 2, in fact,

Agree with your overall point, but FSU wasn't really a Cinderella at that point.

Shinshin

1/12/21 6:37am

I was being sarcastic about the Cinderella, both those teams had been to NC game

akmewg

1/12/21 9:32am

Got it. My sarcasm meter is off. Funny thing is, though, that either one would

You mean playing on the field or court produces different results than playing

1/12/21 4:23am

In college football there would never be a Gonzaga. Case rested.

EtTuKalante

Basketball is not football. Go look at FCS.

Blue Cat

1/12/21 6:09am

Who cares about parity? It's about equity. It's about opportunity.

EtTuKalante

1/12/21 6:13am

Basketball and football are completely different sports. It’s not hard to get

westcoastcoug

I'm going to wreck your parity argument, using your exact data set from 2009.

1/12/21 6:39am

Now do the final four teams

Gonzaga is an undisputed power in basketball and a threat to win it all each

Until CFB turns into one gigantic conference (like professional sports), the

Another issue is you are arguing under the false premise that there is an effort

DJROSS

Also: if it wouldn’t increase parity, why is the P5 so afraid of it?

1/12/21 7:20am

$. Easy.

You just proved my point. $$ buys coaches, facilities, etc. Coaches and

All true points, but enjoyment would increase, discontent would decrease

krindorr

1/12/21 7:33am

You’re wrong about not guaranteeing at least one G5 team. Doing that will kill

I was thinking today, the best way to increase parity would be for the NCAA to
