There's only a handful of programs that can compete with strong P5 teams on a regular basis and most of those programs are in the AAC or MWC.

If CUSA, MAC, and the Sun Belt moved to FCS it seriously would not be the end of the world. It would actually make FCS interesting again to see teams like Georgia Southern and Marshall go at it for the national championship.

Just my opinion but right now all the SBC, CUSA, and MAC are doing is being cannon fodder and getting sent to low level bowl games. It was fun in the early 2000s because the conferences were a whole lot more balanced with the opportunity to move up.

I think that is glass half empty. With the playoff, system there is reason to be optimistic. There was an opportunity for a split to occur... it didn't. The playoff system will expand when everyone sees the advantages and the hype. I foresee a time when all conference champions get an invite to the playoffs. The hype and $$$ generated would make an easy leap to 10 or even 16 teams. It would be good for all of FBS to the playoffs to evolve that way.

I see an eight team play off with the four highest rated G5 playing in for ten teams. So last year Fresno State would play Marshall and Ball State vs UCF. The winners would play at the top two P5 teams. This gives nine conferences spots with an at large team in the P5. Also G5 schools get an almost impossible route to a championship. The P5 will be guaranteed six spots and get to beat up a already worn out G5. Play conference championship then a tough game vs another champion . Win and go play number one or two in the country. Meanwhile Alabama or whoever rest and plays at home.

Does that not sound like the NCAA
