Playoff Is A Problem For The Little Guys-Andrea Adelson
Utah (2004) and TCU (2009), playing outside the Power Five in that era, also made BCS games and won. But those programs never got the same vitriol of Boise State. In fact, those programs cashed in on their Mountain West and BCS success, earning safe harbor into the Power Five.
Boise State did not. So where does that leave the Broncos and all their small conference brethren now that the College Football Playoff era begins?
Almost assuredly, out of the mix.
Again.
Is it any coincidence the College Football Playoff selection committee will put a premium on strength of schedule? All those knocks against Boise State in the BCS era will be magnified and scrutinized in a much bigger way now.
That criterion makes it feel as though half the programs in college football are completely disqualified from playoff contention before the season even begins. There are only 64 tickets into Power Five conferences at this time. Add into the mix the recent autonomy ruling, another striking blow to the Group of Five (American, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West and Sun Belt), and a clear message has been sent.

I think that is a good thing. They are pointing out the inequities and bull crap that the P5 has hammered through.
No cinderella will not help the ratings come those games.

BS article written by one of the ESPiN columnist who was/is doing a LOT of the G5 bashing. Now using the disparity she helped create as filler for her column.

I think Andrea is still a little heartbroken over the beating we used to give her when she ran the "non-BCS" blog. Shes forgotten where she came from.

Well duh. I think we've already received the message.
They have already been talking about separating entirely. I think they are just waiting for the right time to spring the news on everyone that new division levels will be created and it will P5, then some G5 teams in the 2nd division, then everyone else. It would not surprise me if new divisions have already been drawn up.

It's been like that for a long time. Every now and then a team can break through (Kansas going 12-1 that one year, UCF last year), but it's rarely sustainable. There are only a few that managed to keep the momentum; teams like Florida (starting 1990 with Spurrier), LSU (starting 2001 with Saban), and Oregon starting (starting 2000 with Belloti).

Playoff is a problem for one of the so-called Power 5 conference champions who don't get a seat at the playoff table.
I can't wait for it.
It will eventually create a demand for an expanded playoff.

This article proves how corrupt the system is. Just like the BCS. I don't understand why leagues outside of the P5 go along with it

Nothing I haven't said before. She has always had a negative slant toward ucf and the big east
