What does that have to with anything when the SEC actually designed the system and chose to be in a championship with the Sunbelt. Your talking in circles. That said they are in FBS with the Sunbelt. That’s a fact. Any silly semantic argument you wish to make won’t change that. Only the schools can change that.

I'm not talking in circles, I've just asked for an answer to questions that those harping about the bogus-ness of the CFP keep refusing to answer.

I've explained why the Sun Belt "being in the FBS" with the SEC is irrelevant to this issue, and ColKurtz did a great job of explaining why it is irrelevant - better than I did but the point was made.

As for the CFP and who is in: That makes the point as well. The Sun Belt agreed to participate in the CFP system, as did the AAC, etc. so they have zero grounds to complain about it.

Lol. You can whine and stamp your feet and roll on the ground in tears. At the end of the day, the Sunbelt and SEC are both FBS. You don’t have to agree for it to be a fact.

LOL? You're the one who wants change, so you're the one whining and stamping your feet about the system, not me. So far, your whining and crying, nor the fact that the SEC and Sun Belt are both FBS, hasn't produced what you want, the SEC recognizing the Sun Belt in terms of including them in a "rational" system that includes the Sun Belt champ in a playoff.

As I've explained, NCAA classification is by no means a 'rational' basis for requiring that, because classification is self-selected. Any school that averages 15,000 fans and meets the schollie requirements can announce themselves as FBS, so there's no more rational basis for requiring the SEC to compete with the Sun Belt because of FBS than requiring them to compete with the MEAC because both are NCAA institutions.

But good luck with that.

lol...Again? Your argument is so silly and disjointed I cant even figure out what your talking about. NCAA Divisons are the rational basis that competition for the entire world of college athletics is built upon. Your talking giberish.

Totally false, at least as it pertains to football, as NCAA divisions have never formed the basis for national title competition among the top college football programs.

That's the fact, so one has to argue that there is something wrong with that fact. Problem is, NCAA subdivisions are not any kind of "rational basis", because schools can self-select to join. That's not the way it is in any professional sports league.

There's nothing about offering 200 scholarships and drawing 15,000 fans a game for two straight years - the requirements for being FBS - that create a competitive or moral imperative for the PAC to compete against the Sun Belt in a formal, systematic way for a title.

Or if there is, you haven't been able to explain it.
