With G5, there is a possibility of an easier path to the playoff, but there are tradeoffs that just don't seem worth it. Plus, if BYU has decent performances against P5-quality schedules, they'll get their shots at the at-large spots.

This news Re CFP, to me, makes Indy more viable than before.

On the flip side, someone from the G5 will get in the tournament every single

The crumb conferences are just that. Crumbs. Long term TERRIBLE idea

What’s long term? 10 years, 20?

The good ole days aren't happening like they did. It's an awful idea to align

2020 was a return to the good old days. The nfl draft even agreed

Depends on if you actually want another Natty. AAC, as sucky as it seems, gives

BYU would have to be undefeated to even sniff the playoffs.

You really think it will be easier for an independent BYU to

The relevant question is not whether it's easier to make the playoff

Highly unlikely and this last year kind of proved it...

With multiple P5 teams on the schedule, a 2 loss BYU would be top 15 IMO

Little Mac

A 2 loss BYU team won't be ranked.

Coug

If BYU in 2021 loses just to, lets say ASU and USC, they will be a top 15 team

Little Mac

The majority of our P5 games are early in the season...

An undefeated BYU team could only crack #14 in the first College Football playoff polls...

With a G5 schedule, that's true. But you're advocating going to a G5 conference?

Little Mac

Cincinnati with a G5 schedule was ranked in the top 10

You're conflating a bunch of issues here.

We weren't receiving a single vote after our last P5 loss in 2019.... not 1...

Your hypo' impossible to falsify, and that again supports my suggestion Re Cincy

1-loss BYU would finish #13

Or even #12 with a lower ranked conference champ jumping them

BYU would not be in the top 15 with “a few quality losses” and “a few quality

If we're good enough to go 7-1 against P5s/Boise we're good enough to win AAC/MW

Even with our best teams, how often have we been Top 15 BEFORE

Starting with BCS Era (1998); using BCS/CFP rankings where available (AP if not)

You all are assuming that they would use a poll. They will use the same
