Just a speculation topic from Captain Obvious. There are 10 FBS conferences - likely 9 after the demise of the PAC-12. All 10 conferences are classified as the same Division I — FBS subdivision. The ‘Group of Five’ conferences and schools within this classification certainly market themselves as part of the highest level of college football. But, this coming 12 team CFP certainly doesn’t show that to be the case, by a long shot. Like Division I basketball, why will not ALL FBS conference champions qualify for an automatic bid to the CFP if the NCAA classification model is representative of its structure? Or, is this CFP headed in another direction ultimately splitting from the Group of Five?
