So using your very scientific, very stat centric, I hate Memphis/Joe Namath won a Super Bowl 51 years ago system for seeding, this who the 16 participants would have been last year.

$EC: LSU, Georgia, Florida, Auburn
Big Ten: Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State
Big 12: Oklahoma, Baylor
ACC: Clemson
PAC12: Utah
AAC: Memphis
MWC: Boise
Sun Belt: Appalachian State
CUSA: FAU
Mid American: Miami, OH

IF you think in a million years, that anyone; literally anyone would agree to a 16 team playoff system where the AAC, MWC, CUSA, Mid American, and Sun Belt conferences have the same number of teams as the ACC and PAC12...

You honestly can't be helped.

You're probably right about me not being able to be helped--that's for sure. But why 16----division 2 invites 28 ? teams. That way we all would be able to take the 40 pts ---when all those undeserving invited teams cover----heck even the money line +900 when the MEMPHIS TIGERS 28pt underdogs beat Ga. straight up.

IMO, it’s difficult to compare FCS structure to FBS structure. The balance of power/revenue gap is different, because almost all FCS teams lose money. The difference in revenue between FBS schools can be enormous. Penn State’s athletic dept brought in $110m more than Memphis. Texas topped Boise St by $171m, or about 450%. You’d get the occasional competitive game, but most teams simply don’t have the depth to compete in a sixteen team playoff with the elite.

Instead of a 12 game schedule, the FCS has 11. They have no CCG. They are in much better condition going into the playoffs based on those two factors alone. They have no bowl games. All playoff games (up to the championship game) are played on the campus of the higher ranked team.

I didn’t check with Snopes, but I think all of this is accurate. Not exactly apples to apples.

I guess you're right-----but I have never understood the obsession of bowl games---to me they have always been akin to NFL preseason games----they really mean nothing and always political-- screwing the little guys----It wouldnt hurt my feelings if they were eliminated or incorporated into some type of expanded playoffs .

I don’t know that I’m right. I’m just spitballing. The playoffs as they now stand rotate between six member bowls. I suppose they’d just grow that list. I agree that the remaining bowls mean little. They’re just a post-season reward for players and fans and most schools break even at best.
