As often as not, the top six champs are ranked in the top 12. The difference between access as an at large versus as a conference champ really isn’t that great. It’s not going to move the needle as much as you think.

P5 doesn't exist anymore though.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lance71

7/25/21 5:03pm

The power structure is of course still the same.

LiveCoug

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

New CFP format will drive us to join a conference.

Why?

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

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.

Yes, you did say that many times.

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

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.
