I vote no.

Yeah, some will say, well, a G5 stands practically no chance of winning a NC in football. Then that is true of about half, and probably more, P5 programs too. You can point to Butler in recent years reaching the Final Four in hoops, and they had a legit shot of winning once they got there too. They almost beat Duke in the NC game. And say see! a non-power conference team can win a NC in a major sport. But, yes, FB is different than BB, true. Takes a lot more resources and talent-rich rosters than a good BB team requires.

Still, I'd rather be in the pool (ocean!) even as a G5 and deal with the disadvantages, then to NEVER have a chance at all. And, I don't want to compete for some watered-down version either. Here's a great example: the stupidity of what they have done to Louisiana HS football, with the split divisions. Now NO ONE will truly be state champion. This year Landry-Walker won the 5A title and Evangel won the Division I title. Both deserving champions, and both had to beat some very good teams to win it all. But, neither had to face the full pool of very good teams. Therefore, both titles are diminished.

Don't need to go there with the G5 conferences.

Since only one G5 AD has gone on the record in support of this and numerous G5 ADs have gone on record against it...

A G5 playoff would likely be more entertaining than today's playoff games.
