[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 386335"] As an illustration, here is who the top ranked G5 team would have been over the last several years who would get into the 8 team playoff (this is the ranking prior to a bowl game): 2017: UCF (#12) 2016: Western Michigan (#15) 2015: Houston (#18) 2014: Boise State (#22) 2013: Northern Illinois (#14) 2012: Northern Illinois (#15) 2011: Boise State (#7) 2010: Boise State (#10) As you can see here, only once in the last several years has a G5 team actually finished in the top 8. So based on this, a G5 team would be getting a significant handout to be given a slot in the final 8. However, and I don't know if my hunch is right here, but I think these rankings may have been a little suppressed as voters didn't want a G5 team to end up sliding into the final 4 conversation. For example, if 8 teams got bids instead of 4, and a G5 got an automatic slot, would UCF really have been ranked all the way down at #12? My gut tells me each of these teams is probably giving up 3-8 spots due to the disrespect factor that would go away in such a process. [/QUOTE]
