I'm not alluding to UCF in that statement but speaking generally.

There isn't a "fair" way to do it that everybody in college football would call fair.

You don't see too many people crying about the NCAA basketball tournament. And in that scenario, the weak get weeded out in the early rounds.

Personally, I think the best way to do it would be the Conference Champs + wild cards to fill out a 16 team playoff bracket would be the best way to do it. And seeing as you already have a bloated bowl structure in place you already have the sites to do it and you also already have NIT variant set up at the same time.

FCS has a proven format to follow, except return to its 16 team field rather than the current 24 team field. 10 FBS conference champs and 6 at-large teams with seeding. It works and would be inclusive of all FBS conferences creating a true national champion.

And, how did the NCAA lose control over FBS football? It is the only sport, called NCAA football, that does not have an NCAA champion.

There is a level of parity in FCS that doesn't exist in FBS.

The P5 and G5 have a greater degree of separation than the G5 does from FCS.

It would be best, if fairness is really our watchword, to simply separate them.
