that's the criminal part of things.. For whoever doesn't get it- the drop off is huge....

If App doesn’t get it (odds don’t look good), we could be 12-1, maybe ranked in the mid-teens. And we would play in a Dec 21st bowl against possibly a 3 loss, unranked CUSA team. Yipeeee.

Not saying we deserve the Cotton Bowl (I was pretty confident we had to run the table and we didn’t), but damn I wish there was some middle ground.

How about the 2-5 seeded G5 teams play in a mini-playoff. That’d be fun.


Suppose Cincinnati got the NY6 bowl.

You could have Memphis play App State.
Boise play SMU.

Winners face off in a final bowl.

G5 conferences need to ensure that there is some kind of bowl pool for the top 4 or so G5 teams not in a NY6 bowl. Not a G5 playoff but a select group of nice bowl games that can match up at-large G5 teams regardless of what conference they're in.
