The reason to join a conference is not for playoff access.

What G5 bowl package is worth losing the higher quality games on the schedule?

shimmy

6/10/21 2:56pm

If we are "Associate" Sunbelt members, we won't lose our schedule

What higher quality games are you worried about?

Blue Cat

6/10/21 4:10pm

Trading 3 p5 games for 3 garbage games is what I'm worried about.

shimmy

Good news. We don’t have to drop 3 P5s a year

If they stick with ESPN, that may not be an issue.

Eddie

It’s many of the ESPN owned bowl games that will fold.

Blue Cat

6/10/21 3:07pm

That's possible. That's also why I mentioned having a contract.

Eddie

6/10/21 3:24pm

The ESPN bowl contract ends in 2024.

Blue Cat

6/10/21 3:33pm

You're right - they might not.

Eddie

6/10/21 3:50pm

That only works with the bowls ESPN owns.

Everyman

Well, yeah. Of course that's how it works.

How many bowls were cancelled this year? And did BYU still have a spot?

ESPN promised a bowl game for BYU

What many people are missing here is

No way

Remigius

If the AAC is considered the 6th best conference

JoeExotic

6/10/21 3:32pm

What was the last G5 champ to finish 9-4 and be a top 20 ranked team?

Remigius

6/10/21 3:45pm

You have that wrong

JoeExotic

6/10/21 3:53pm

Being ranked top 20 is only important to get into the playoff

Remigius

6/10/21 4:02pm

Dude. I love you but you are not understanding how this works

JoeExotic

6/10/21 4:06pm

Your interpretation seems to differ from everyone else. Can you share a link?

StalwartBraveTrue

6/10/21 4:17pm

Pretty sure my interpretation is wrong

JoeExotic

6/10/21 4:29pm

RE: Being ranked top 20 is only important to get into the playoff

JoeExotic

6/10/21 4:30pm

Idea is top ranked champions, not top ranked conferences

HawkeyeCoug

6/10/21 4:08pm

In that scenario, a MWC/MAC/SunBelt team probably jumps them

krindorr

6/10/21 5:02pm

Being considered 6th best isn't permanent. Boise in MWC at 10-3 would take it.

6/10/21 6:06pm

If BYU wins AAC, Boise would just win the MWC with a 9-3 record and take the 6th

6/10/21 6:05pm

Joining the Sunbelt for "Playoff Only" is the best option

HawkeyeCoug

6/10/21 3:15pm

What in the world

JoeExotic

6/10/21 3:37pm

Been discussed before

HawkeyeCoug

6/10/21 3:43pm

1. Your ideas are weird 2. That was a weird link you included in the OP

JoeExotic

6/10/21 3:55pm

Bowl games suck

Remigius

6/10/21 3:20pm

Not until 2025, at the very least.

Everyman

6/10/21 4:08pm

Right, it's so we can put their cool yard signs in our lawns
