If you don't get it at this point then you just aren't going to get it. They will do whatever it takes to keep the mo ey at the top. When and if they can they will keep any and all G5 out and yes, I'd wager many years that will be the case. The 5+7 model will still guarantee 1 G5 spot every year. B...

The only way I see this happening is if somehow the PAC (whatever it is) remains as a power conference and is the 5th one. The G5 champs would probably have to go undefeated and hope that whatever remains out west is basically relegated to another G5 conference. If the powers that be want some semb...

News today that Colorada State and Airforce to the AAC. My bet is that is because Memphis and SMU are headed to the big12. The Sunbelt should own the 6th spot with the new lineup. Our biggest problem will be BoiseSt, Fresno or San Jose out of an easy MWC. I could see some undefeated teams making it...

Well I could be wrong but it looks like if we can win out and ODU loses one in addition to our game, I think we win the east. If, big if, we win out we would have head to head wins against everyone in the east. We would just need someone else to beat ODU. ODU lost to Ark St. all we need to do is be...

I have a serious question about this. Don't you have to actually be ranked to qualify for the access bowl? Surprisingly for the G5 autobid, you do not. You absolutely must be the conference champion of a G5 conference, but ranking not required. But it does come with some more explanation. The G5 au...

Except for a select few big P5's any expanded playoff format for the G5's will basically start week 1. Assuming that our basic schedule includes at least one P5 (probably needs to include 2) and 2 decent but winnable non-conference games we are probably going to have to go 12-0 or 11-1 (then add in...

If we win out (by some miracle) and those same teams are in contention for NY6 along with us, there's 0 chance things don't get reconfigured so it's us vs Michigan. Penn State would go to the Rose. App State vs Michigan in the Cotton bowl would outdraw the CFB playoffs. We'd be America's team. But ...

I saw that the FAMU coach said the players would vote on if they wanted to play or not but I imagine they need the 450k payout from UNC to keep the program afloat. I've read they'd be down bad money-wise if this gets cancelled. Because not only would they miss the 450k check, but they'd owe UNC a c...

From a gentleman I met in Pensacola :Texas State pushed for UTEP and NMSU to be added ,which I can see given their location.We pretty much killed that as Everts was the Chancellor pushing the realignment from day one ,the goal being App in the geographic center of an Eastern Division of an all-foot...

Conversations took place with them last summer. They had the opportunity to join. Interest remains, to a degree, on both sides. They will have to make the first move at this point as we are set for the foreseeable future. 3 November 2021 was the date given for the video on YouTube; I wonder if the ...

Playing from snap to whistle

FCS is nowhere near as as strong as it was 15-20 years ago. The number of championship level programs that have left seem to make that point without much question. Some of the old contenders have also declined (Furman, UNI, Montana) from what they once were. It has basically been the NDSU and JMU s...

This is gonna be ugly. It’s a shame that many feel like the hopes of all G5 schools ride on Cincinnati today. If we run the table next year I’d hope that we are in the discussion. You never know what can happen If App runs the table next year you'll get the media coverage that comes with it but I d...

I wonder if the nut jobs (I’m sure they exist) on the UCF, Boise State and BYU (lost bowl game to a CUSA team) are melting and butchering their players and coaches on social media. All of those teams “underperformed “ this year and none made it to the NY6. I'm a few days late but here to provide th...

The loser of the AAC will not be in the NY6. Have to be a G5 conference champion. And the CFP counts as part of that. So it's winner take all in the AAC. Mostly right, but this year is a unique situation. You have to be a G5 conference champ for the G5 autobid, but that's not the only path into a N...

So 94 - let's assume (and I think you are correct here) NO picks ULL - are you saying that the 2nd pick would go to ESPN and it would not be the Camellia Bowl? - ESPN gets pick 1, 3, and 4. N.O. Gets pick 2 and Camilla gets pick 5. So to your question, ESPN will pick first and will likely skip Loui...

So no chance to play an ACC school? There's always a possibility but requires a vacancy to happen. The SB doesn't have any bowl tie ins where the ACC is the opponent. So the only chance is if there's a bowl that's some conference vs the ACC and that one conference doesn't have enough teams to fill ...

Would JMU have to do a 2 year transition from FCS to FBS??? Does anyone know what the plan is for that? Are they joining next year?? To answer NewApp, JMU is CAA members at the FCS level. And all the moving is going to take place, I bet, when Texas moves to the SEC which moves the AAC teams to the ...

It is quite possible that Charlotte got a nod because we said no thanks. Possible but probably not likely. All 6 adds across the board scream market so that seemed to be the singular focus after the MWC outreach didn't work. Not sure if the AAC decided on their direction 100% on their own or if ESP...
