Could a G5 team make the Playoff this season?

>Boise State
An undefeated MW schedule with wins over ranked Wazzu and SDSU could put them in the conversation

>Troy
Decent OOC (LSU, Boise) but the Sun Belt schedule puts them at a disadvantage over MW and AAC schools

>WKU
OOC too weak, CUSA too weak to make up for it

>Memphis
Weak OOC

>Houston
Weak OOC (Arizona + Texas Tech)

>Colorado State
By far the strongest OOC of the bunch: Alabama, Colorado, and Oregon State. An undefeated season would put them squarely in the playoff.

>App State
App's strength of schedule hangs on how good Georgia and Wake Forest actually are in 2017. Both were bowl winners in 2016, but unless they return to form, an undefeated Sun Belt slate might not be enough to put the Mountaineers in the playoff conversation.

>USF
With only one P5 matchup in 2017, against Illinois, USF cannot expect much of a boost in the rankings. Even with an undefeated season, they'd need to win every AAC game convincingly to be a playoff team.

>Tulsa
A week-1 win against Oklahoma State could put Tulsa at the top of the Week 1 G5 rankings and boost them into the top 25 for the rest of the season. If an undefeated Tulsa meets an undefeated USF in November, the playoffs could be on the line.

>Toledo
Putting together a playoff resume in the MAC is hard. While Toledo might be the MAC's best hope in 2017, they have only one opportunity to impress against a P5, when they play the Miami Hurricanes.

>San Diego State
Week 2 (Arizona State) and Week 3 (Stanford) will be make or break for SDSU's playoff hopes. If they can win those, they have to handle Boise State to prove they're playoff worthy
>>
>>76821548
It's entirely possible, but you haven't done your research.

1) WKU just replaced their coach and got a new QB. They're great overall, but will be rebuilding in 2017.
2) Boise ran neck-and-neck with Wyoming last year, and Wyoming is still getting better.
3) Troy was ranked for a week last year anyway, before losing to another SBC team. They won't make that mistake again.
4) Houston, if ranked preseason, can still get in with a 12-0 record.
5) Tulsa is not beating Oklahoma State.

Other than that, have at it.
>>
>>76821719
>you haven't done you research

I wasn't looking at whether these teams WOULD win all their games.

I was looking at whether or not, if they somehow did manage to go undefeated, whether their SOS would be strong enough to get into the playoff. WMU, for example, had too weak of a SOS to get in.

>>
>>76821548

It COULD happen, but I think it would be much more important for the upper echelons of the P5 to be in total disarray, with no undefeated or even one-loss teams.

Combine that with a G5 team that is not only undefeated, but could RESOUNDINGLY defeat every opponent it faced, alongside a competitive OOC schedule, and a stout conference slate. THEN you could have an argument.

Unfortunately, WMU and the MAC gave a pretty poor showing in the NY6 bowl last year; that's going to color the perception of G5 strength in the committee, fair or not.
>>
>>76821548

Also, since we're just jotting hypothetical down on paper here...

>ECU
With the hardest OOC schedule in all of college football, the pirates play reigning FCS national champions JMU to open the season, followed by VA Tech, WVU, and BYU. All of that on top of a pretty stout conference draw from the AAC with USF, UH, UCF, Memphis, Temple, and Cincinnati in the mix.

IF, by some miracle, the Pirates found a way to go undefeated (which the chances are almost nil) that schedule would be enough to argue for a berth into the CFP.

What I'm trying to say is that there ARE schedules in the G5 that could provide a convincing argument--UH's 2016 schedule certainly had all the cards. But it would be an incredible feat to go undefeated with that kind of schedule, and G5 talent/depth.
>>
>>76821548
>>76824223
>>76824356

To sum up, yes, I think it's possible. But the bar is probably too high in the Coach's poll this year.

There aren't any G5 teams this year that could go undefeated AND have the strength of schedule to back it up.

Your post was good, I can't really argue with anything in it, I just don't think any of those teams has what it takes in 2017. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though--I'd love to see a G5 team upset EVERYONE and win the playoff.

If I had to put my money on one of them doing it, I'd probably say USF. They've got a great returning team, and exciting new coach in the driver's seat. That momentum could be enough in the first year for a season of halcyon days, and a program historic high.

Unfortunately, even if they do go undefeated, I think it's more likely that the poll will place them in the NY6 berth instead of the CFP, and we'll all look back on it for years to come as a tragedy when they booty blast whoever they're put against.

It's a damned shame how much UVA spends on football to be an ACC doormat team.

Money doesn't necessarily equal success in college football, but it certainly helps.

In one of the last few threads, there was talk about how LU probably can't wait for an excuse to drop their current coach and hire Art Briles. They have literally zero shame when it comes to athletic hires. They've already got high ranking hires from THOSE YEARS at Baylor working at Liberty.

This.

They also think their education is Ivy-league tier due to their association with Duke. It's not bad in the scope of public schools, but they have nothing on the true blue bloods of higher education.

UNC pissed and moaned when ECU wanted its own medical school in the late 80s / early 90s too. ECU had to win the Peach Bowl in 91 over NCSU to prove that they deserved a spot at the table.

The B1G homers believe they'll be getting Kansas and Oklahoma as new members. I've never doubted Kansas, but I think Oklahoma fits in culturally with the SEC much better. Okie State at the very least. If the SEC were to add two western teams you could move Auburn and Alabama to the East, move Missouri to the West, and everyone would be happy. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, LSU, and Texas A&M get to dominate the West (Ole Miss/Mississippi State are good every once in a while) while Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Auburn battle it out for the East (South Carolina is goof every now and then, Kentucky occasionally). Realistically Alabama is still the center of the conference, but Oklahoma gets a lot of power and influence, as well as a likely permanent crossover with Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, or Auburn. If I had to imagine how the crossover pairings would work, it'd probably be Tennessee-Mizzou, Georgia-Arkansas, Alabama-Oklahoma, and Auburn-Oklahoma State.

If the SEC doesn't snag those teams and goes for small private schools instead, I'm rooting for Tulane and maybe Rice or TCU. TCU adds the Dallas-Fort Worth market so they make more sense than Rice (their program is much better too) and Tulane is a historical SEC team that would make trips to New Orleans really fun. The SEC basically has to expand westward as the ACC teams are in too solid of a position and the other schools on the eastern seaboard (Central Florida, South Florida, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Coastal Carolina, UNC-Charlotte, Appalachian State, East Carolina, Old Dominion, possibly James Madison) aren't big/important enough to warrant an invite, except for maybe UCF if they are capable of developing a successful program (but that's a stretch). Ideally they would add UNC and UVA but there's no chance in hell that happens.
>>
>>76827892
Yeah but it wouldn't it just butt hurt the entire cancer cell of a conference?
>>
>>76830807
I would much rather have Tulane than OU or any other Big 12 school.
Part of what makes cfb great is the historical nature of the rivalries and the cultural bond between the conferences. I would hate to see the Big 12 go, because we'd be losing a lot of cfb history in the process, but also because those Big12 schools that would join my conference have frankly no business being there.
>>
>>76831188
If the SEC had to take 2 schools that aren't in the Big 12 or ACC who would they take? The only schools that could possibly make sense (either private with history or a big enough school/program) are Tulane, Rice, Houston, SMU, Memphis, UCF, USF, and ECU. Of those only Tulane is really attractive for history but LSU would almost definitely block it, Rice and Houston take up too much of A&M's Houston market and LSU recruiting grounds so that won't happen, SMU is bad, doesnt have a large fanbase and would be a pain to deal with, Memphis is a shit school that will probably become bad again soon, UCF/USF are both too second-fiddle programs that would oversaturate the Florida recruiting grounds in the P5, and ECU is a reject party school in the middle of nowhere North Carolina that doesn't even provide a TV market.

The SEC will probably want to expand to 16 teams but they have no totally good options without an ACC implosion that opens up UNC/NC State and UVA/VaTech for expansion.
>>
>>76831448
I'd be fine with taking any southern ACC schools. The culture of those programs intersect a lot with the SEC. but at the same time I wouldn't want to do it if it meant the collapse of the conference. The current P5 setup is perfectly balanced for succinct regional conferences that reach most if not all regions of college football and I want all modern P5 conferences to succeed

>>76831503
Yep, that's the problem if you try to take UNC or Duke. The ACC would probably eventually collapse without the Tarheels and/or Blue Devils. They know they have all the power so they aren't likely to leave.

So of the ACC schools that you want you really only have NC State, Virginia Tech, and Virginia, and ideally they'd take one from each state. Wake Forest is obviously a non-issue. I excluded Clemson, Georgia Tech, Miami and Florida State, as the SEC does not want to expand to states they already have a team in. That would seriously dilute the recruiting pool for the other SEC teams. Additionally a school like Clemson offers nothing but decent academics and a football team, as SCAR dominates the South Carolina media markets.

But back to those other schools I mentioned, you have 3 major hurdles there:
1.) NC State/UNC and VaTech/UVA are tied to the hip with each other. You can't separate those schools anymore unless the alumni get really, really upset with each other. State legislatures would force them together if they aren't already.
2.) The ACC GoR is giant, so ACC teams are locked in for a very long time and the SEC would have to pay big money to poach someone. This also underscores the fact that ACC teams should be relatively lucrative over the next few decades with their new network. Is the money going to be big enough from the SEC?
3.) The Virginia ACC schools are very good academically and NC State has an impressive engineering school. The administrations at these schools want to preserve that, and moving from a conference with UNC, Duke, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Boston College as the leaders to a conference with Vanderbilt, Florida, Georgia, and Texas A&M at the top may not look so enticing. The SEC is trying to increase its academic profile, and it's not last (looking at you, Big 12), but it certainly isn't close to competing for 1st and 2nd. Adding UVA and Rice or Tulane would make the SEC comparable to the Pac 12.

The SEC adding another private school with elite academics would be interesting.

Tulsa, maybe?

>>
>>76835846
Problem with Tulsa is that it would be solely for the academics. It is the smallest school in FBS (though they'd probably increase by a few thousand with SEC money for a few years) and that probably translates to an incredibly small fanbase. Wake Forest is in almost the exact same position as Tulsa but has more prestige and at least a degree of athletic success.

I really wish Tulane, Rice, BAKA, or TCU would work in this scenario, but I guess there's just no way in hell any of them work. Tulsa and Wake are the only other private schools in the SEC footprint that would work (Miami definitely wouldnt) aside from the FCS schools in North Carolina/Virginia

If the greensboro students and alumni want it they can try raising the issue with the school. Thats what the charlotte students did. If they didn't do that the chancellor would have never bothered to add the sport. They even built a football goal post, marched it across campus, and left it on the chancellors doorstep so he would get the message.

Probably correct, because their voting districts were ruled racist by the Supreme Court, so all those dumb motherfuckers are out in November.

Alternatively, none of those current motherfuckers even realized they did anything wrong until the entire rest of the country told them so, and even then pretended like THEY were the wronged ones. Silly hillbillies.

Except for the small portion of the state in the mountains, the VAST majority of NC's population are rednecks, not hillbillies.
Rednecks are overweight, have drinking problems, and go to NASCAR races. Hillbillies wear overalls, don't have teeth, and smoke meth.

They're both white trash, but it's an important distinction

That ACC mediocrity is what pads the schedule and helps those teams have a chance at going undefeated.

If they had to play an Oklahoma school, or Texas (assuming they're good again under Herman) every year, they could get too banged up to have a chance at the CFP later in the season.
>>
>>76848795
You play each other and Louisville. The majority of the ACC outside of those three and maybe VaTech/Miami/Georgia Tech is pretty bad every year. You don't want to play in a conference like the SEC or Big 12 where 3+ teams are consistently ranked. You'd lose games.

>>

I meant in week three; I had the App State/Michigan upset on my mind, and that was definitely week one.
>>
>>76851950
It would only overthrow Michigan if Colorado State were a FCS team with 63 scholarships instead of the 85 that all FBS teams have.
>>
>>76851950
>I think it would even overthrow App State over Michigan
Objectively incorrect
>>
>>76852182
>>76852214

Michigan was not ranked #1 coming into the preseason. Alabama is coming off a championship game appearance, something that has only happened 3 times in history.

FCS teams are pretty routinely beating P5 teams now, it's not the same era as it was when App State beat UM. Just last year Richmond beat Virginia, Eastern Washington beat WSU, and NDSU beat a pretty high ranked Iowa team (which went on to beat Michigan itself later in the season).

With the bifurcation of FBS into P5/G5, there's an argument to be made that the chasm between them is reminiscent of what used to be between Div 1A and 1AA teams. Especially when you consider the amounts of money being thrown around in P5 TV deals and G5 TV deals.

I'm just saying there's an argument to be made. It would be unprecedented for a CFP championship team to lose to an unranked G5 team so early in the season the next year.

>>
>>76851533
I highly doubt that, if OU wanted to crash the conference they would have just left when they got offers. OU has been more willing and vocal about keeping the conference together, they like their power/influence within the conference I think. Even if you're right they're probably not going to let the conference die until they get Ok Lite into the fold aswell, which apparently was the deal-breaker in the first place. OU is also one of the few teams in the conference that actually cares about the Big 12's "strength of schedule" image since they're one of the only teams in the conference that can consistently vie for a spot in the CFP
>>
>>76851533
>I'm a fan of OU, that means I have intimate, exclusive access to all administrative decisions.

First of all, no.

Second of all, OU already showed that to be bullshit when they declined the PAC so they could stay in a conference with Texas.

Third, HELL no.

I think OU is playing the waiting game until the Big XII's media deal is up, THEN they'll bolt. Anything between now and then is just keeping face.

>>76854555

I wasn't say that I was the fan, I was referring to BoomerSooner, who is the fan.

OU would never fit in the PAC-12 culturally, and in the P5, the PAC-12 is barely a step above the Big XII. OU almost certainly is playing the waiting game to get into the SEC.

>>76858973

No, but the relative amounts of money between the programs FAR exceeds a 63:85 ratio.

I'm not bashing on App State, they're one of my top 3 favorite schools.But the upper echelons of today's P5 have as much or more distance between the G5 as the old 1A and 1AA divisions did once upon a time.

Simple. P5 conferences are the big schools like flagship campuses and such. They're the ones who make the playoffs. G5 are mostly directional schools, other campuses of huge schools, and city schools. They only make the bowls.
>>
>>76880931

There are City schools in the P5: Pittsburgh, Louisville, etc.

There are flagship schools in the G5; Nevada, Wyoming, New Mexico.
>>
>>76880931
P5 = Power Five. Traditional powers with all the money. They've been Division I for decades.

G5 = Group of Five, those are just the newer editions, still with the same number of scholarships and bowl access as the P5, but ya know... not as popular.

Even if they had schools and won consistently there are no marquee schools within MWC. The closest you could argue they had to having that was when BYU was a member.

It's not just that they lost it's that they lost badly. Plus there were other teams that had won that week and as a result earned the right to rise in the rankings.

Oh so they was gonna use that stadium
10,000 ain't bad for a FCS school
>>
>>76912986
I think they should spend 5-10 years at the FCS level before moving up.

For a program that has never had football before, spending time in FCS helps iron out the kinks before spending FBS-level money.

They could do really well.

The Rio Grande Valley is pretty isolated from the rest of Texas. They are several hundred miles from the nearest FBS program (UTSA).

There are over a million people in the Valley that are starved for some good football. They could sell out every game. There's basically no competition of any kind down there.

The Big 12 needs to stop looking east.

1. Drop West Virginia. The travel sucks and the market isn't worth it.

2. Add a team actually in the Big XII footprint. There are plenty of candidates in the AAC and Mountain West.

This is EXACTLY why the G5 conferences are going to need to realign regionally. Driving distance conferences are the future.

>ECU travels an average of 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) for its road football games, paying $430,000 to fly Allegiant Air.

And that's just football. Imagine paying that travel cost for MBB, WBB, Baseball, Softball, MSoc, WSoc, Tennis, Field Hockey, ect.

That is millions of dollars the G5s could be spending elsewhere.

>Also, check my captcha
>>
>>76914293
nah, Liberty would be telling the other passengers to be calm and pray because "God will save us"

Meanwhile, they'd be having their servants prep the helicopter in secret so no one else tries to get on.

That's a little far-fetched, but the rest of the schools make sense. ECU might not like being away from their AAC rivals, but that's what you get when your conference looks like this eyesore

ETSU ain't ready for FBS. Chattanooga and EKU definitely are though, imo

And not a single national championship in that list of schools. Plus being the marquee G5 school is like being the "12 year old" Dominican kid in Little League. Yeah they might look good but their competition is shit.

If the Big 12 dropped West Virginia and picked up Colorado State, Tulane, and Memphis would that set them on the right track?

>>76918924

To be fair they do have a national baseball title. Plus the sunbelt did approach jmu first but they said no due to wanting the cusa instead.

Raleigh, Nashville, Montgomery and Richmond are all nice cities.

And Atlanta is way better than Colombia.

They regularly wreck top ranked P5 teams in nationally-televised bowl games at the end of the year.
>>
>>76919567
Coastal, JMU and EKU were looked at because they fit the footprint.

If they didn't fit, they wouldn't be looked at.
>>
>>76919846
I've been saying this for years. The B12 should take New Mexico. It's an unexploited market in a state with twice the population of West Virginia. Albuquerque is also closer to Lubbock than Austin is.

Once that P5 money starts rolling into UNM and their football program starts to get better, it could literally be another Nebraska cash cow, what with 0 pro teams and 0 other P5 teams in the state.
>>
>>76919921
Morgantown is part of the Pittsburgh tv market
New Mexico is a shitty recruiting ground and less prestigious than Nebraska
>>
>>76919856
Beating middling P5 teams isn't much of an accomplishment. Granted their win over chOklahoma some years back was impressive.
>>76919846
Tulane gives them a foothold in Louisiana which is one of the most fertile recruiting states, boosts the Big 12 from an academic standpoint (think like Vandy in the SEC), and opens up another large market.

Boise is too far, Idaho is shit recruiting ground, plus the population of Idaho is smaller than the city of Houston so it's not as though Boise State has the potential to add much in terms of tv ratings.
>>
>>76919832
Raleigh is okay and Nashville is awesome imo but you can shove Monkeytown, AL up your ass.

>only teams that have a natty are important
BYU has a natty, and they haven't been relevant in decades.

And there are plenty of teams in the SEC and B1G that have zero natties, so it's almost like your argument is full of shit.
>>
>>76920527
I never said only teams with natties are important. Having a natty though does significantly boost the reputation of a school, though I should add the caveat that natties pre-playoff are not all created equal. Plus I never argued that all SEC and B1G teams were relevant. No one gives a shit about Northwestern, though with that being said Meme State's success against middling competition does not put them on the same tier of any of the marquee schools in the P5.

I'd also like to again bring up the fact that the MWC is mediocre plain and simple. They aren't even the best G5 conference.
>>
>>76920697
What's with your hateboner for G5?

Someone said Boise was the premier G5 (which is indisputably true) and you just HAD to shit on G5 for no particular reason.

What did G5 ever do to you? Did a girl from one of those schools dump you or something?
>>
>>76920722
I don't hate G5, as matter of fact I'm a fan of one of the AAC schools. I'm mostly focused on calling out the MWC for being shit because it is.
