There’s some real hard truth in that statement that 95% of G5 and lower tier P5 teams are unwilling to accept.

There are about 20 schools that have an actual shot at an FBS national title. They are basically professional teams moonlighting as NCAA teams. My beloved App State is not one of them.
App will never win a national championship in this current format and frankly even if the league expands to an 8 team playoff with a G5 autobid...does anyone honestly believe Memphis would have beat LSU, then the winner of Oklahoma vs Georgia, then beat another power P5 to win the title? No. It’ll never ever happen.

But could you imagine Boise, or App, or UCF, or even an Iowa/Wazzu/Syracuse/Arkansas/Colorado playing an FCS schedule? It’d be a joke.

There’s a place for Clemson and Alabama.
There’s a place for Colgate and Stony Brook.
There’s a no mans land for the rest of us.

That said I’d at least rather try to beat the varsity teams and lose as opposed to beat the **** out of pop warner teams every year.

Hopefully one day it breaks apart.

You could keep an FBS sub and still setup a G4-ish playoff using bowls like Boca Raton, Mobile, Arizona, etc. It would be more interesting to see NDSU & JMU compete for that national title and the playoff would be more fun for G fans than an ultimately meaningless bowl.
