[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 642770, member: 2426"] How many football teams can keep up with UGA and Clemson? Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma .... Who else? Penn State/Auburn? Every few years, but then every few years not. Should P5 be reduced to only 5 teams who play a season to see which one gets excluded from the playoffs? Why is Kansas in a P5 conference? Why is Vanderbilt in a P5 conference? Why was Washington State in a P5 conference? They didn't have a winning season from 2004 through 2014. Eleven years with a losing record. GT has had 2 regular seasons under .500 in the last 22 years. Does GT have financial issues that are an impediment to competing with factories? Yes. Does GT have academic issues that are an impediment to competing with factories? Yes. Does GT have a smaller, grumpy fan base that are an impediment to competing with factories? Yes. But, GT has not been in the cellar of P5 or FBS football. In fact, five years ago during a time when the AD at GT was trying to force the head coach out, and by reports restricting funding to the football program, GT ended up in the top 10. I would turn you question around and ask: Since GT hasn't been in the cellar of the P5 and at times is very competitive with the top teams, why should leaving even be considered? [/QUOTE]
