How can anyone be against this?


I'm against it b/c it makes it impossible for teams w/a permanent OOC rival to ever schedule games against other P5s.

Saban is just being a baby b/c he doesn't want to ever risk losing to a good G5.

I mean shite, we had 3 Big 12 teams lose to Sun Belt teams opening weekend this year. It's not like every G5 game is a blowout.

Also, I don't think many of you would like what it would do you everyone's win percentages. 8-4 feels a hell of a lot better than 5-7.

He plays two G5 schools every year. He hasn’t lost to one in 13 years

Make a bowl.
The only two rivalries that should be preserved are Georgia Tech and FSU anyways,

Clemson has no historical relevance to our conference and should have to pay for that South Carolina rent-a-P5win.

The top of the G5 is better than a lot of the P5 anyways, and their conferences don’t really directly compete with ours in terms of TV contracts and viewership.

I’d gladly take a permanent rivalry with Southern Miss and a rotating schedule with the other good southeastern G5 schools than the crappy P5 schools we play. The whole point of the bowl season is to try to get a good bowl to have an exciting cross-conference matchup.

P5 CFB is a business, it’s time to stop pretending and time to do what’s best for our programs.
