Maybe in the next 20 years when everybody's egos are sufficiently knocked down, these conferences/schools will get serious about re-aligning geographically.
There really should be a middle-layer division that is below P5 of course and a combo of G5 and the higher-levels of D1AA. They can develop a legit national championship playoff for that middle layer.
Seriously, a good middle-division FB conference could be developed for example in the Northeast that includes the northern wing of the Colonial...UConn, UMass, Maine, Rhode Island, Stony Brook, Albany, New Hampshire, Villanova, and perhaps Buffalo (from the MAC). Similar geographical-friendly FB conferences could be developed in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Southwest, Great Lakes (combining a lot of the MAC with some of the better Mizzou Valley Conference programs), etc.
Unfortunately, it will never happen because D1 CFB is really F'd up and the higher-level G5 programs will possibly never truly get it that they aren't welcome into the P5 country clubs...and, never will be.
