While I understand your intentions, and it is a good hypothetical proposition, it is a strawman fallacy.

The issue though, in that stance, if there were no conferences you have other issues like scheduling, if everyone could schedule anyone why would they play anyone tough, so the schedule would shift. SOS would be out of wack, and true comparison would not be equivalent.

My stance when it comes to every conference champion has been the same since they expanded to 12 teams. Every year we hear "my team is better than x why didn't they get in." If they do every conference champion, that argument has no legs to stand on. Win you conference and you would be in. The teams in the P4 chose to flood into 4 conferences and get buried in a brutal conference schedule, that sucks, split back up.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@theEvanPerry @StonedColdDude How many 4 win teams you think will make it in the hypothetical above. Not the one proposed, I think the one they are proposing we will see it more, but in the one above. Where every conference champion gets a spot then the next 14?

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@MPFB_Prediction @PhierceFPS That is the definition of a strawman my friend

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

They could, will be a once in a blue moon run. But they would. We see it every year in Basketball, we see massive upsets every year in football. A team getting hot and winning a few games is completely possible. You are acting like we would have half the field with 4 losses, the average over the last 20 years is less than 1 loss. 2025 was a massive outlier.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

That is not true, in the 16 years 14 of the finalists were undefeated, 17 had 1 loss, and 1 had 2 losses (BTW the 2-loss team won the title that year, 2008.) During the whole run there were 10 Undefeated Champions, 5 One Loss Champions, and a 2 Loss Champion.

Last year all of the FBS, Indiana was the only undefeated team. Only Oregon the year before, and Florida State in 2023 and they were left out of the Playoffs after winning the ACC without their starting QB.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@theEvanPerry @StonedColdDude The average of the BCS system was 14.6 points. Of the 16, 6 were 3 score games, 4 were 2 score games, and 6 were 1 score games. If you definition of why it would be bad is because of blow outs, I would argue that they have never gotten it right.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

Last year, Alabama lost by 35 to Indiana last year. Oregon Lost to them by 34. Miami beat the 2 seed Ohio State by 2 scores.

In 2025 Ohio State beat Tennessee by 25, Oregon by 20, and ND by 2 Scores. Notre Dame beat both Indiana and Georgia by 2 scores.

I guess I don't think you point is relevant. We can look at other sports for reference when the offence does happen. The Farleigh Dickson upset started with 1ish million viewer, and by the end of the game had over 12 million.

People like an underdog, and giving they G6 schools a share of the revenue to put toward their programs will help bridge the gap over years.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

Like the FCS National Champion, who went on a run during the playoff after losing to Oklahoma, the defending FCS National Champion (which they beat in the playoffs), and 2 other ranked teams.

Yes, I think each conference champion earns their chance to compete for a national title. If you miss an at large bid, win conference. It is the school's fault for all pooling into 2 conferences. This model returns the importance of the regular season and conference championship. especially in the G6.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@frisbee_driver @DomIzzoWDAY Restrict it to 1 fcs game per year. There are 127 FBS vs FCS games this year. Only 25 FCS schools play 2 games, and 1 plays 3.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@ChelseaFCinDC @TheHowlLine @CSportsImpact As the*

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@ChelseaFCinDC @TheHowlLine @CSportsImpact Blow outs happen. Indiana beat Bama by 35, and Oregon by 34.

Miami as beat the 2 seed by 2 scores as the 10 seed last year..

Since moving to 12 the 1 - 4 seeds are 1-7 against the lower seeds.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@WillKunkelV Then we can kep the semis neutral.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@ChelseaFCinDC @TheHowlLine @CSportsImpact I guess my question would be why? Every few years there is a phenomenal G5-6 school. UCF in 2017 the old Boise State schools

Hell even Houston has done it a number of times over the years.

We see G6 keep up with and beat some p4 schools every year even some big ranked upsets

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

Personally. Similarly to the FCS. Every Conference Champ gets a bid, bringing importance to those games. Then 14 at large. If possible all playoff games on campus, with the National Championship game at a neutral site.

Set seeds in groups similar to March Madness to eliminate the rematches till late. And i think you would have one hell of a playoff, while keeping the importance to the regular season.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@NC_Patri0t We had 3 2 win teams not make the playoffs last year. Cant be just a subjective commitee deciding

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@sneed85 @CSportsImpact Seeding should be by rank. Bids should be all conference champs 14 at large.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@ChelseaFCinDC @TheHowlLine @CSportsImpact Win your conference and youll be in. Its thos schools fault for all going to the same conference.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@CSportsImpact Should be 1 auto bid for every conference champ. Then next 14 at large.

[Tristin Robert @TristinAnglin]

@jonny_k34 The FCS has the best btw.
