The leadership for the Group of Five schools in FBS college football is set to discuss the possibility of implementing a secondary championship to complement the College Football Playoff.
According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports, Group of Five commissioners will meet next week in Dallas, and one of the main talking points will be the idea of giving G5 teams something of significance to play for outside of the CFP.
I love this idea. We already have a de facto tier 1 (power 4) and tier 2 (group of 5) in FBS. Makes sense to formalize it and cash-in in the process.
There are 61 group of five schools. Create a 16 team playoff and there's 15 games worth of inventory to sell (telecast rights, advertising, sponsorships).
That could also essentially replace 15 mid-tier bowls that seem to be money losers for the schools due to travel and ticket commitments.
Thoughts?
