Honestly the conference crap is lame... its not like a school can just say hey I want to play in the SEC or ACC or whatever this year.. They are where they are and it shouldn't help or hurt them IMO. Its why a REAL playoff system is needed. the SEC East is no better than anyone outside of UGA, and the west this year is pretty average as well.
and I disagree any FBS school that is going to be ranked with them all should have a shot at the natty esp if they are winning out. If that is not going to be the case they need their own system for the G5
funny that it works in the FCS (https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/a...cket-announced) maybe its something else at work at the FBS level... ya know like money and only money that keeps such a bias system in place
