How many G5 champs realistically stand a chance at upsetting a top 8 team?

The P5 aren’t going to want these games and neither are the networks because blowouts make for bad tv ratings.

All of them stand a realistic chance. That's why games are played in the first place.

I thought the entire premise of a "college football playoff" was to decide things ON THE FIELD, rather than let AP and UPI decide "who's number one" because "we already know who'd win that game."

Who ever thought that the first-year expansion Vegas Knights would contend for the Stanley Cup? Yet there they were. No one disqualified them at the beginning of the season as not having a realistic chance, or because they weren't around as long or invested as much over the years as the other NHL teams.

NHL franchises are all structurally equal. That's obviously not the case in college football.

If you are going to put a G5 team in the playoffs, might as well include the FCS champ too.

Now you're just being ridiculous. At least the basic rules in terms of recruiting, scholarships, coaches, etc. are the same for all FBS schools. FCS schools do not play by the same rules. You're just trying to bait people to argue your false equivalencies here.

Nah, the unrealistic thing was the poster who compared the NHL to college football. Pro sports franchises are all the same. There are quite a few FBS schools that aren't as good as the best FCS schools. Much more actual overlap there.

There's much more of a gap between LSU and ECU than between ECU and James Madison.
