Now you shouldn't overload your schedule with them, especially if you don't get a home and home. If you have one of those guys on the schedule, and are positioned like Marshall, then you can make the argument to be included in the playoff.

The conference hasn't had the huge marquee win, but has performed well. I have enjoyed watching everyone in the conference this weekend, and can't wait to be a part of it next year.

That's the reasonable counter-argument, which I respect. I just don't agree with it. I'd much rather see wins against mid-tier P5's on a more consistent basis than the rare upper tier win.

I agree. Beating mid to lower level P-5 programs is much more beneficial for the "Next 5" programs and very winnable games. 99% of time a G-5 school isn't going to beat a powerhouse P-5 school if that school is at the top of their game. It is what it is.

Totally see what you all are saying. However, since CUSA is supposed to have taken a step down, and now be the new Sun Belt....... It sure stepped up.....
