Should The NCAA Form a Separate Sub-Division For G5 Conferences?

[4down20]

It may be behind the AAC, but the AAC is closer to the power 5's than they are the rest of the group of five schools. Even without UCF I think the AAC is stronger than the MWC with Fresno, doesn't mean I'm right but it's my opinion. Fresno may have been in the playoffs but they're strength of schedule is still right there on par with UCF; which is why several people are claiming UCF doesn't belong.

UCF played the AAC schedule.

Fresno St played the MWC schedule + Alabama and Washington.

UCF played the AAC schedule.

Fresno St played the MWC schedule + Alabama and Washington.

But regardless, their strength of schedules are nearly identical.

Except that they aren't.

UCF wouldn't even be in this conversation if they played Alabama and Washington in the regular season. They would have either lost, or they would have made the playoffs.

According to you and one website, they're not.

Mercer would have made the FBS CFP if they'd gone undefeated and beaten Auburn and Alabama.
Alas, Alabama curb stomped them 56-0. This is why Alabama deserves to be in the NCG without going undefeated, winning their conference, or much less their division.

So much butthurt in this post.

But - Mercer would have had a better case at making the playoffs than UCF did.

Of course, I never hear you crying about Austin Peay. Why is that?

Don't be upset w/ Bama because they got in the playoff this year. The dumbass committee last year made it clear that division titles & conference crowns aren't as important as they should be when they let Ohio State in.

And they made the right choice in doing so.

Yes they did. And the Buckeyes got their ass kicked by 4+ TD's by the Hawkeyes this year. No team that gets beat that bad can be called 1 of the 4 best in the country.

Just applying your blathering logic. Fresno St isn't a part of this discussion had they not played Alabama.

1) Clemson (12-1) ACC Champs
2) Oklahoma (12-1) Big 12 Champs
3) Georgia (12-1) SEC Champs
4) To be selected as the 4th team, one must be undefeated and have beaten Alabama. Otherwise Alabama gets a do-over.

They should drop any and all reference to it from their protocol then.

I have no idea what you are even trying to say anymore.

I agree.

 

[4down20]

So it's either a season eraser or should be dropped?

Drop that bitch then.

Kind of like claiming you don't have free speech if you can't yell "Fire" in a movie theater, and the whole concept should go away, but whatever.

Stop with the Louisville counters The Citadel. And since when do current teams have to play against teams from eight years ago. Any of the top ten teams maybe even the top twelve could win and any "given game against another top twelve even 12 vs 1.
Alabama did not win its' division let alone it conference. While all the Alabama defenders know that, it slips their collective memory. And the concept of best team is bogus also. Even if Alabama had lost 2 games they still might be the best team of the 4 playoff teams, but would they still deserve to be in the playoff, oh wait I have weigh in the success of team that played 8 years ago.

You don't have to weigh shit....the committee will do it for you.

Does it need to be there if the committee doesn’t care about it?

 

[4down20]

It doesn't need to be there at all, it's there to give people a general understanding of how the process works.

Is it their fault a few people want to be anal and stupid about parts of it while applying ultimatums about how it must do this or it's meaningless? I don't think so.

LOL.

No. It's there for when they want to use it.
