Troy has a stronger schedule than Marshall. And more games on TV.

If Troy had the blessing of a god and went undefeated Troy would get in the Access Bowl over Marshall.

Who and where is Troy?

Your making my point even better that a school in the middle of no where with 6k students has a better schedule than Marshall.

Our complete TV schedule hasn't been released. Troy State lolz.

And yet you still have zero games on ESPN right now or any channel that anyone outside of your market will see. And your laughing at the school in the middle of no where with five and probably seven games on the ESPN family.

Keep on making fun of the little school in the middle of no where. Remind how many power conference teams are coming to Huntington this year? Or even on the schedule lol.

Your reading comprehension is remarkably bad. The point has been made time and again that our home game with Louisville had to be moved to accommodate their move into the ACC. It will be played in 2016.

Also, in regards to your earlier post, CUSA sold their rights to FOX; therefore, it would be rather silly for Marshall to have games on ESPN. And touting Abilene Christian is a bit farcical considering that it will be on ESPN3...

We have 1 confirmed home game game on FS1 and two more that will either be FSN (mostly national) or FS1. Fox also keeps a 12 day window to get better games on the air, so we'll likely pickup a couple of more.

There is a good chance will go undefeated and blow everyone on the schedule out this year. They have one of the worst schedules I have ever seen (see below). However, a one loss team with a more challenging schedule (UCF, Cincinati, ECU, Houston, Boise State) might have a better argument.

This is why I want a 4-team play-in to the Access Bowl.....prove it on the field of play.

5 G5 conferences will be ranked per previous 2 year's of average strength, reevaluating every 2 years.

The top 4 conferences champs will play the 4-team, 2-weekend play-in with the winner going to Access Bowl #6 vs P5 at-large - as planned currently.

Pool B monies will be dispersed depending on performance through G5 play-in series.

TV revenue from play-in series goes to G5 Pool B bucket.

#5 conferences gets $1.5MM (or same percentage as Pool B pot grows) from Pool B those 2 years.

Most 2 year periods, MW and AAC would have home field seedings....giving our conferences more ticket revenue and an extra home game or two for the fans to tailgate and watch.

What you described could be worthwhile if the winning team got a spot in the actual playoff and a chance to play for the national title. But a complicated playoff system where the reward is playing the 11th best P5 team in a meaningless exhibition is pretty pointless. I'm not sure fans of the teams involved would even care enough to watch.

I have been all over the states. It's a small college town like every other small college town between two of the state's largest cities.

And regardless this is just a boring topic because there are schools in bigger cities like UAB with less market pull. What the other guy was saying is that Marshall fans should not be talking because your not number one in your market nor is it a huge city. It's bigger than Troy if you're trying to be the tallest midget.

I know my history, and the teams that currently make up the MW and AAC will beat up on each other where the Marshalls and NIUs of the lesser G5 conferences will have an easier time going undefeated through their conference schedule.

AAC and MW are the 2 best G5 conferences from top to bottom, but that won't mean diddly to the committee because the spread between the AAC and MW isn't big enough to notice.

Actually, what I think the committee will do is be "fair" and pretty much alternate between the 5 G5 champs in a 5 year period with (maybe) MW and AAC getting 1 extra over the next 10 years....

AAC 3
MW 3
MAC 2
CUSA 1
Sun 1......is what I see the next 10 years producing.

So even though your "history" shows MW at 70%, I think it will be closer to 30% thru the next 10 seasons.....all because of feelings of fairness from the committee because we are already a side show to them as it is.

So let's do it right and do it on the field where it will more than likely be this for the next 10 years...

AAC 5

The AAC is the only conference that is head an shoulders above anyone else in the G5. The rest of them are very similar in make up and strength. Only Boise State gives the MWC a "leg up" in the G5 race and there is no guarantee that they will continue their dominant run of their WAC days. Last year, even with Boise State and the best Fresno State team in years, the Sunbelt was still declared the best non-bcs conference.

I know my history, and the teams that currently make up the MW and AAC will beat up on each other where the Marshalls and NIUs of the lesser G5 conferences will have an easier time going undefeated through their conference schedule.

AAC and MW are the 2 best G5 conferences from top to bottom, but that won't mean diddly to the committee because the spread between the AAC and MW isn't big enough to notice.

Actually, what I think the committee will do is be "fair" and pretty much alternate between the 5 G5 champs in a 5 year period with (maybe) MW and AAC getting 1 extra over the next 10 years....

AAC 3
MW 3
MAC 2
CUSA 1
Sun 1......is what I see the next 10 years producing.

So even though your "history" shows MW at 70%, I think it will be closer to 30% thru the next 10 seasons.....all because of feelings of fairness from the committee because we are already a side show to them as it is.

So let's do it right and do it on the field where it will more than likely be this for the next 10 years...

AAC 5
MW 5
MAC 0
Cusa 0
Sun 0

5 G5 conferences will be ranked per previous 2 year's of average strength, reevaluating every 2 years.

The top 4 conferences champs will play the 4-team, 2-weekend play-in with the winner going to Access Bowl #6 vs P5 at-large - as planned currently.

Pool B monies will be dispersed depending on performance through G5 play-in series.

TV revenue from play-in series goes to G5 Pool B bucket.

#5 conferences gets $1.5MM (or same percentage as Pool B pot grows) from Pool B those 2 years.

No! Why put the MW in that position? Don't you know that the MW champ has a very high chance to get that spot most of the time?

I don't want some stupid committee deciding this.

Chances are better MW makes it through a play-in to the Access Bowl#6 than by a committee.

Most 2 year periods, MW and AAC would have home field seedings....giving our conferences more ticket revenue and an extra home game or two for the fans to tailgate and watch.

Why have more than a 4 team "big"'playoff?.....just keep it at 4 and let a stupid committee leave 2 to 4 deserving teams out sounds crappy to me.

Prove dat chit on the field!

You need to know your history. With current makeup of the MW and the 2014 AAC, the champion from the MW has had the higher ranking over all other G5 champions,70% of the time.

I disagree with your assertion and you'll think differently once the season gets underway.
