Be careful what you wish for. Sure, Alabama can beat the vast majority of P5 schools but what happens when Saban leaves and Alabama goes down? USC would've made the same argument 10 years ago under Pete Carroll or Florida under Urban Meyer and look at them now. The bottom line, these P5 schools like undefeated seasons and any P5 power like Alabama playing an OOC of Oregon, Kansas State, North Carolina and Michigan State won't help their cause. Unless that OOC is full of P5 cupcakes like Kansas, Cal, Boston College, Indiana, etc.
Whatever. Don't care at this point. If we end up just playing over G5 teams and have our own playoff, so be it. I'll still watch and it'll still be fun. It will be a lot better than what FCS ever was because the disparity between teams will not be nearly as great as it was between the top and bottom FCS leagues.
I can't really do anything to control it anyway. As long as they don't **** with other sports I can live with it.

Something will have to give. There are only so many Baylors and Kentuckys around.

The interesting part would be if a school like Texas, USC and Florida would start offering Indiana or Wake Forest a 2-1 or a one deal with no return game. Then eventually the divide among the P5 will be wider and in 20 years you'll see the top 20 P5 schools advocating for a split because the likes of Purdue, Wazzu, Miss State, most of the ACC, etc. can't compete.

But Baylor fit the description of what was wrong with the BCS until Art Briles took over the program.
I used to give Baylor a hard time for being a Big XII parasite who got those BCS welfare checks by just being at the right place at the right time. Now they have an impressive athletic department from football to men's/women's hoops to baseball.
