NO NEED to have a separate G5 Playoff and get 1 or 2 games of getting beat up before playing in the 8 team playoff.

I don't see an 8-team G5 scenario working with an 8-team CFB playoff system. Too many games. Potentially, 6 games for the G5 winner who makes a Cinderella run?!?! I mean, it's improbable but that's possible with that set up.

I've been a big G5 playoff proponent (and vilified on this board by my G5 friends), but if they want to give the G5 an auto-bid to the Big Dance (8-team), then they need to have a G5 semi-final and final only. And they need to drop the G5 conference championship games too.

Does anyone know how much money is at stake for the G5 CCGs? Is it worth it for them to drop 5 meaningless CCGs to add 3 playoff games (which would then tie into the Big Dance elite 8) that would also crown a "champion" of the whole G5?
