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.

If the bolded statement were true, then we should include all of Division I in a post season tournament to determine a national champion. But the FBS was a subdivision created by the NCAA for the express purpose of having a group of schools that will NOT have an NCAA championship tournament.

These are schools who prefer to participate in bowl games instead. Every school in the FBS made that choice voluntarily and willingly. They did so because they felt that it was in their self interest to do so. They were not coerced in any way, despite the labored analogies that would paint the P5 in the role of the Mafia.

Yes, that's one reason why i keep mentioning the MEAC, though I could mention any other FCS conference.

G5 clowns who whine about the lack of a playoff with their conference champ included don't seem to mind that the MEAC and other FCS conferences would be excluded, even though they are all included in the NCAA hoops tournament.

FBS was never created with a playoff among FBS schools/conferences in mind, so there is no natural, moral, or competitive sense in which it is a "league" that should have its own playoff with auto-entry from all conferences.
