There have been some interesting discussions on G5s and the CFP.
I like Danny Kannell's suggestion that G5 schools play at least 3 P5 teams to be considered for CFP. The context of the conversation was expanding to 8 team CFP and should undefeated G5 teams get an automatic bid. The folks on the show had agreed a P5 conference championship should get an automatic bid. Someone said what if Appalachian State won the first Sun Belt championship game and went undefeated next year. Danny said there should be conditions on G5 because strength of schedule isn't the same and UCF is no Boise State or TCU (from back in the day.) I have to agree. The last thing we need is some G5s coming up with schedules that barely qualify for bowl eligibility then saying they belong in CFP because they were undefeated.
Looniest comment: A caller to SiriusXM's "The First Team" said if men's basketball were handled like CFP then there would never be teams like Butler, Gonzaga, etc. That set off the hosts (Greg McElroy and Taylor Zarzour) who told the caller he was wrong because the difference is some schools choose to recruit athletes with the intent of going deep into playoffs. WOW!!! It's hard to believe someone would actually believe any school, regardless of the sport, would choose to NOT recruit athletes that can win national championships. Ya gotta luv the implication some coach is going to say/think "Hmm, the 3-year starting QB for an undefeated 5-A state champion lists us as his #1 preferred schools on Rivals. That's nice but we're not going waste our time recruiting because he's a national championship-caliber player. Oh, look! Here we go! The father of a 3rd string QB on a 4-7 H.S. team tweeted to @ESPN he wished some school would give his boy a chance."
