Let the SEC/B1G separate completely into their own thing.
in football we’re basically a g5 program already

Legally, you cant exclude any school in the same division from a post season tournament. Do a 32 seed tournament and kill the old bowls. No one watches them anyway. The only other way is for the P4 to break away.

FBS football is the only sport/division sponsored by the NCAA where a team can win their conference at that level and not be given a chance to play for a national championship. There are conferences that make decisions on whether or not to let their conference compete at other levels and divisions, but FBS is the only one where your conference can choose to compete and winning that conference still doesn't mean you get that opportunity.

I would like to see someone, if it is the NCAA, to create another division that would allow conferences like AAC, CUSA, MAC, MW, PAC10, and the Sun Belt to have their own College Playoffs in Football. Just in Football, if they want to have it for Baseball, or Women's Sports, they can work that out.
And how many EYEBALLS do you think is willing to watch that?? Because at the end of the day, that's what it comes down too.

There is no G5 problem.
Tennessee was beaten 42-17 in the first round last year, and the average margin of victory in first round was around 20 points.

And leave out Texas Tech? I’m amazed how dumb some of y’all’s ideas are.

These were the numbers for FBC. I somewhat agree that larger viewership probably exists because basically these are the only teams that exist in these markets, but at least it shows that viewers consider these good and exciting games to watch.
The Montana at Montana State FCS semifinal game on ABC was the most-watched FCS playoff game on record, averaging 2.8 million viewers.
ESPN2’s Illinois State at Villanova game averaged about 400,000 viewers. The average of 1.6M viewers is the most-watched semifinals since 2009.
For comparison, last year’s FCS semifinals had two games on ABC, which draws more eyeballs than ESPN2. SDSU at NDSU on ABC averaged 1.58M viewers. South Dakota at Montana State on ABC averaged 1.37M. Last season’s title game of NDSU vs. Montana State on ESPN drew 2.41M.
