Wouldnt matter. It would still be at best the 66th best schedule in FBS. The committee would simply cite a weak SOS and rank them between 10-15. Its not like we dont have a track record of the committee manufacturing ever changing narratives in order to arrange the big brand matchups they desire.

Really!?
So your telling me if a Boise St, UCF, or WMU beat 3 T25 P5's (MI St, Washington, VA Tech), and beat a powerhouse like Alabama, AND mopped the floor with their in conference slate, you think they would get shut out by the committee?

I would find that very hard to believe and I think there would be some serious controversy.

lol. They dont care. Everyone knows its rigged. They would sinmply say the SOS for WMU would be inferior to whoever they want in (and it would be true becasue no G5 can get mcuh past #66 in SOS and still play a full 8-game G5 conference slate). Look---the committee screwed both Baylor and TCU---and those are P5 schools. You really think They'd have a problem stiffing some random G5? Hell--that was the whole reason the P5 insisted on a selection committee rather than relying polls and computer models that were outside of their control.

That said---the team you describe MIGHT make it into the top ten. I figure thats why the committee is being so ridiculous with undefeated G5 rankings (placing them well outside the top ten behind 3 and 4 loss P5's). That gives the committee a "trophy ranking" in their back pocket they can bestow upon any G5 that makes an obvious case for the top 4. They will put them in the top ten and point to that ranking as being an unprecedented measure of the respect the committee showed that G5 team---but no way would they get a playoff slot. Im pretty sure thats how it would have played out for Houston had they run the table in 2016.

By the way---Im not saying such a G5 wouldnt deserve a playoff slot. Im just saying the CFP is a totally rigged joke in this regard and would never award a G5 a slot no matter what they do or accomplish.
