The CFP show will actually be meaningful to catch and the intrigue and possibilities will be deep.

Multiple paths for the big names to get to the playoff which could radically change week to week. Do they win out and make the title game or end up in the playoff without the title game?

AAC has multiple paths now besides presenting the highest rated G5 champion they could make it on their own merits. The same could be said of other G5 programs if they continue to develop. It could open a Miami Fl type run to the top of the polls since the system is a level playing field.

McMurphy said in a tweet as a byproduct 4-10 bowls are going to disappear. I suspect the 4 will be because of the 4 first round games. If all the champs are assigned at least an access bowl that would change the lineup significantly for the G5.

Payout is another question. Will the 10 conferences get a base payout such as $50 million with large bonuses tied to appearances? Will the G5 revenue split be out the door?

A 50 million base plus 50 million per playoff appearance sets the distribution just above 1 billion. Then additional academic money and independents with a 2.5 million base distro if the overall dollar value is 1.2 billion up from 600 million currently.

Quote:Coffers: They'll be full -- or fuller at FBS schools. Industry sources have estimated an expanded bracket to be worth two or three times more than the current $600 million annually. The question is whether ESPN is willing the tear up the current deal with five years to go on it and renegotiate for a 12-team field.
