RE: G4 Playoff Proposal
I think our championship game runner up should be given a bye into the second round of this playoff.

You guys beat a bad Wku team and now you are over here all the time. No one respects Ga State anymore than before. Your football team was created for a money grab and helped the so called power schools to continue the split.

The G4 should create a playoff with 8 spots.
Four spots for the G4 Conference winners (Sun Belt, CUSA, MAC, and MWC) and 4 at large bids.
The 4 at large would go to the top two G4 non-conference winners and then two spots for the top two ranked FCS teams.
They could play this playoff over a three week period right after the last conference CCG is played.
Might be able to get CBSSN or ESPNU to carry the semi finals and maybe ESPN2 carries the CCG.
CCG could be in Springfield, MO held at MSU's Stadium, Plaster Field. Nice venue, seats around 17K and is just up the road from Branson, MO which gives the fans a destination.
Thoughts?
So the AAC will be the only Division I conference excluded from any playoff opportunities? Sounds like a great idea! We should pitch it to Aresco.

I am pretty sure I am not posting a troll thread daily on this board.

If you say that enough times it may become the truth.
Do we need to post some UCF crowd pics from within the last month? ?

LOL. Like Greenville, NC and being an ECU grad has better employment opportunities.

Seriously, how many of the G4 Conference Chairs have proposed such a set up (maybe a bit better venue). Let'em travel down this path and see where it leads them....

Good point. That's basically what a G4 playoff would amount to.

I would argue that the AAC could then make a legit claim to own the "G" Access Bowl spot for their Champ.
Over time we'd have as much access to the playoffs as the Big East did for their Champ in the 1 v 2 game in the old BCS model if our Champ kept winning that game.

RE: G4 Playoff Proposal
Shouldn't UCF fans be nicer? This wasn't that long ago. Normally, people are more sympathetic after experiencing tough times.
Also, what is the deal with the "directional school" jab? I don't understand the dig at our university. THE Georgia State University is similar to a lot of AAC schools. We are a large urban research university located in the major metropolitan city of Atlanta. It is a well-regarded academic institution. Our sports programs are in good shape overall; the football program will be respectable in 5-10 years no doubt. We have 50,000 students and 100,000 alumni in the ATL area alone. When we build a winning football program, students and alumni will come. Period. I think GSU's endowment fund is bigger than UCF. Really...enlighten me about this "Georgia Northern State" nonsense to label us as some small regional college. What is the problem?

It's "Georgia Southern State", and its because your conference has two GSU's, that's all.

No. It's the same school, similar to Kiffin's Florida Atlantic International University.

Not really sure why we are debating the name of some commuter school in Georgia.
