Re: G6 playoff gaining momentum
Honestly, I'm ok with this. If JMU and/or Tulane holds their own I'll change my tune, but my guess is they get rocked by 35+ points. I don't want want to play all year to get there and then get absolutely embarrassed. The top 15 or so aren't our peers, regardless of the fact we're all FBS.

It took a miracle for JMU to get in. Probably won’t happen again.
We can’t compete with the big dogs all year/playoffs. I’m okay with G5 playoff if they still let us attempt to slay some P4 during regular season.

Re: G6 playoff gaining momentum
At some point guys need Someting to play for. As was mentioned, It took a miracle for JMU to make it and they most likely get clobbered tomorrow and with everyone saying bowls are a waste of time, what is left for G6 teams? Ik this climate, no G6 team has a prayer of winning the national championship, but there are a lot of good G6 teams. Having them play for a championship would be fun for their fan bases. Montana/Montana State is going to be an electric atmosphere tomorrow. Meaningful post season games are fun no matter what level of football you are playing .

Re: G6 playoff gaining momentum
I feel like a separate playoff is still premature but I realize it is ultimately almost inevitable and always has been. Even before we moved up, the discussion was about an eventual split between the P5/G5 and part of the rationale for moving up was to avoid being stacked down even further in obscurity. It will literally be a re-creation of the FCS (I-AA) original model if and when it happens. I just think this year is an anomaly with the G5 in general being down and at the same time getting 2 teams into the field (thanks to the ACC). We will see how it works out but some current "Power" teams might not like where it lands either.
