Kirk Herbstreit Proposes New College Football Playoff Format For G5s

16 teams for G5 and 16 teams for P4

Much better than muh "just expand the playoffs."

4 team playoff was enough

Did he consult with his dogs anus for this take?

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.

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.

Or just get rid of the playoffs and make college football meaningful again.

Pretty simple

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

not an original thought, Pate has been saying this for a year

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

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

Disclaimer: Another million folks have suggested the same!

I actually kike his idea.

How about when they do get in the P5 schools must play their 2nd team?

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