I know. Which is why I said my proposal wouldn't see the light of day. Hopefully something changes one day. I still say the CFP, ESPN, etc... are running an unlawful monopoly and ought to be brought up on federal RICO charges...

I must disagree, the fact that it annoys the SECs brood-mother brings a moderate amount of joy to me.

Makes me chuckle.

It would roughly continue the current distribution of revenue and power, a level of welfare subsidies down the ladder which the P5 seems content with. (You don't like that phrasing of it, but I'm looking at it from the POV of The Powers That Be, and asking you to do the same in predicting what TPTB will do. Crimson Tide football is subsidizing Vanderbilt, and subsidizing South Alabama, and they seem ok with that in general, because somebody's gotta be on the losing end of those shiny won-loss records--although UAB is an obvious counterexample.)

The CFP system gives about 1/6 of the revenues to the G5. (It's been four or five years, I don't think this includes the Contract Bowl money). And 1/12 of the spots.

In a new/revised system, the power conferences will NOT want to suffer the indignity of ever being left out of an 8 team setup. That means autobids.

Taking away the G5's existing autobid gets awkward at that point.

Another point of awkwardness: UCF will not be the last G5 team to go undefeated and win their New Years Six Bowl game. And whoever does it next now basically has to claim a National Championship, based on the UCF precedent.

TPTB prefer now to have that happen every 5 or 10 years.

UCF fans, what is the reaction of AL supporters and lackeys like Finebaum when it is pointed out that AL claims a share of the 1941 NC that is not officially recognized by the NCAA?

Be careful. They do have a history of poisoning things.

HOWEVER, they will have to beat the team that beat the anointed "Nat'l Champ" to make the same claim UCF did. UCF will always be my Nat'l Champ this year and poor little SMU gave them a heck of a game.

The stars really aligned. Ucf beat the team that beat both teams in the playoff game plus Alabama didn't even win their division of conference. I mean we have a legitimate grip. This isn't a Sunbelt team that played nobody and beat a junk pac 12 school in the ny6 game. This set of specific scenarios is going to be hard to happen again in the near term.

Of course they do. This here Alabama fan told me he wanted to "find me where I live and then stomp my head in cold and dead".

Sadly (in a way), Disqus deleted a few of his, well, how shall I say, more colorful metaphor filled threats. Of course, he replaces those death threats with ones a little less over the top but I am not taking any chances. I am trying to get a hold of someone at Disqus so I can try to get his IP over to the proper law enforcement official.

That sucks. But Bama fans are known to poison trees over football games so they are proven lunatics.

I normally would - but as someone who has to work with SEC fans (same Gator fans who have badmouthed me to the owner in an attempt to get me fired), I put nothing past them.

It isn't just Vol fans that are psycho - it is a lot of the fans of the entire damn conference.

I'm not saying that to diminish what UCF did. I'm just saying that the next time a 2006 or a 2009 Boise State or an Urban Meyer Utah runs the table (and it will happen every 5 to 10 years), they're going to claim a national title. That's the new reality that TPTB have to deal with.
