During this Monday’s edition of the “Nonstop” podcast, ESPN analysts Joey Galloway and Kirk Herbstreit discussed the Group of Five’s outlook for the CFP moving forward...
quote:
“Let them have their own championship 16-team Playoff,” Herbstreit said, via On3. “We celebrate it, we televise it, we hype it. If one of them qualifies to get into the (CFP), then you put them in. The rest of the teams have their own Playoff.”

How about making college football actually college football again? No preferential treatment for athletes. Get admitted like regular student.

When was that? 1886? Newsflash, football players have gotten preferential treatment since ND was winning titles in 20s.

I’ve said for years just do away with G5 being included in the FBS. Like the old days have divisions one two and 3. Each has its own playoff. There were like 62 schools in D1 at one time and 12 bowls. It meant something. D2 had a playoff. If I were a G5 player how crappy would it be to know I will never win a championship? I would WANT my own playoff.

For sure. Why is Herbstreit getting credit for an idea that has been around for 5+ years?

Yeah they need to play in their championship. But there should not be a metric for one of them to get into the playoff with the big boys. That will accomplish nothing more than what we got last Saturday and in last years playoff, non competitive games that most people don't want to watch.

Hate to admit it, but after this year's fiasco, that is certainly logical.

I said the same thing a week ago. Make the G5 like the NIT in basketball.

Not the same as NIT. There are SEC teams that play in NIT.

How about a couple of +1 games? 14 team playoff, G5 gets a spot or two. This year, could have been Notre Dame vs Tulane and Texas vs JMU
