Serious question.  Tulane and James Madison are in the playoffs.  Last year, Boise State was in.

Indiana is dominating the B1G right now.  They have a lot more money than people think, they are just deciding to invest in football for the first time.  Texas Tech has a lot of money and is #4, despite being B12. BYU has a ton of money--see hoops NIL.  Seems like $$$$$ is the deciding factor for competing.

But we have also yet to see Indiana or Texas Tech win it all.  They are top 4 seeds, so we will see.

Setting aside fan-colored glasses, which group is more likely to have a team make the playoff next year:

A. West Virginia, Syracuse, Boston College, Wake Forest, NC State, Cal, Stanford, Cincinnati, Houston, UCF

B. Tulane, Memphis, Boise State, UNLV, San Diego State, USF, James Madison, Army, Navy, or North Texas.

In all seriousness.  Group B has to beat out the rest of Group B (and worse teams).  Group A has to beat out Group A (plus all the blue bloods, wannabe blue bloods, and teams getting $$$ just for being in the SEC/B1G).

And then ask yourself the question... how likely is it that a team from either Group A or Group B wins 1 playoff game?  Is there that much of a difference?  How about makes it all the way to win a championship?

Isn't it kind of weird that Tulane has an easier path to a playoff than Syracuse?
