LiveCoug Intervention Needed

They threw a scrap at the small conferences, but the recruiting, exposure, money will all still be held with the power conferences

As it's always been, P5>>>>>>>>>>>>>Indy>>>>>>>>>>>>>G5

P5 doesn't exist anymore though.

Uggh. This is semantics. You know exactly what I mean, regardless of title

LiveCoug

If the new CFP format goes through it actually will be different, not semantics.

You can't compare 5 conferences fighting for a table scrape to the power

LiveCoug

As I said, the money part won’t change dramatically at first but the access part

Junior Deputy

It's not 5 conferences with the power now though. It's 4. And even that isn't

Lance71

7/25/21 5:10pm

Man, not sure what to tell you. The power will still be with the major

You have no counter-argument, and that’s ok. You have chosen the hill you’re

Junior Deputy

Sigh. You do you. Strive for a seat at a little boy table. Carry on

If you’re going to keep arguing this in every thread you really should consider

Junior Deputy

How did you get a "leveling of the playing field" out of my post? This is the

Lance71

It's not semantics. The power structure is not the same with a 12 team playoff.

Lance71

The power structure is of course still the same.

The power structure will be tilted more in favor than it is now.

New CFP format will drive us to join a conference.

Why?

deljdc

Because we would have contractually-guaranteed access to the only meaningful

Junior Deputy

This is wrong. Access as a conference champ is only marginally better.

Question: does the AAC champ have a chance at getting one of four CFP bids now?

Junior Deputy

7/25/21 5:14pm

That’s a fine straw man you just made there.

All-American

7/25/21 5:25pm

Actually you just did. And you also misunderstand the new CFP format.

Junior Deputy

7/25/21 5:28pm

But you have to hope there aren’t six other champs ahead of you.

All-American

7/25/21 5:40pm

Here we go again.

rggee

7/25/21 5:30pm

Yes, you did say that many times.

All-American

7/25/21 5:37pm

It’s never been negative.

All-American

I would love to hear what Worthen and Holmoe believe about this stuff.

DirtyWater

Would be a great time for a BYUTV interview with Holmoe

Compared to what? Being invited to the competition on fair terms? Yes, it's bad.
