Easy.
The P4s are in charge and make the rules......the rich always get richer. What made you think college football is a democracy?

Yes totally,it just seems crazy to expand the field because I am in the college basketball mentality. You would think when you expand the field that much, you are trying to promote accessibility, I guess its accessibility for a 7-5 Alabama team and not an 11-1 NIU team. If you are going to have all power conferences in a 24 team tournament, just select the teams at the beginning of the season and start the tourney then, because you know which 24 are getting in already

There are more G6 conferences, so every winner is a stretch even if the P4/ESPN scumbags grew a conscious. At 24 teams I thought P4 champions + top 2, 3 or 4 G6 finishers seemed reasonable. Even 4-P4 Champs + 2-G6, and then the top 18 get in after that would be cool, 2-4 G6 teams in each year seems closer to reasonable. 1 G6 team out of 24 some years is as it's set up is a rip off.

Maybe contracts get signed, TV money starts rolling G6 sues for better access, wether guaranteed or based on skewed P4 selections. 8-4 Illinois can sit there ass at home if Miami of Ohio or NIU is a solid 10-2 or 11-1.
