#11 Indiana (6-1) finished ahead of #13 UNC in the CFP rankings, but UNC (7-3) got the last NY6 bowl slot instead, proving that there is something amiss with the way that the NY6 bowl slots are allocated.

So Indiana ended up playing (4-5) Mississippi in the Outback Bowl.

If there had been a "NY7" bowl, played between the top-ranked P5 team that didn't play in a NY6 bowl and the top-ranked G5 team that didn't play in a NY6 bowl, this "NY7 bowl" game could have been played on December 30, 2020:

#11 (6-1) Indiana vs. #14 (11-0) Coastal Carolina

That would have been a much better bowl game than Indiana vs. a Mississippi team with a losing (4-5) record, don't you think?

Some fans on the SBC and CUSA message boards are talking about the idea of a G5-sponsored "NY7" "challenge-bowl game" between the top G5 team that doesn't play in a NY6 bowl and the top P5 team that doesn't play in a NY6 bowl.
