Firstly, you elitist blue blood CFP fans crack me up... Times change, get with it, grow up, deal with it. You now have BIG universities playing football that have the capacity to routinely beat 'Power' schools. Deal with it. The arbitrary and artificial line that separates the 'P5' is just that... We all know the obvious hangers on in the P conferences... and we all know the obvious 'power programs' in the 'G5', as defined by enrollment, facilities, on the field success.

Houston beat 7 of its last 8 'P5' opponents... they were perfect until they lost by a field goal to Texas Tech. Grow up and deal with the new reality, it's 2017 for crissakes. Understand that 95% of real fans in the seats and on TV DO NOT FOLLOW TV CONTRACTS. That's just you message board wonks... Most fans understand that if UH and UCF win New Years bowls against TOP 'P5' teams... then your arbitrary conference lines are (speaking of the AAC primarily, and perhaps some MWC schools) a fantasy created to protect MONEY. Too bad it's not working out so well...

Regarding USF and UCF, I would much rather see the AAC with a playoff path, than I would see one or two AAC schools get some sort of 'golden ticket'. That's a real solution to the obvious problem. Figure out a way to include SDSU, Boise, Houston, Cinci, USF, UCF, etc etc... and you will have had a fair realignment. Keeping it turf and politics, and greed, creates the current obvious nonsense...
