Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4116800, member: 5685"] In a few years when the realignment is done IMO it will be worse. You won't have Cincy or BYU on the outside like this season. The gap between the SEC/B1G and the P3 will widen. The gap between the P3 and G5 will widen. Future G5 schools that have cracked the Top 16 in the playoff era: 2020 #12 Costal Carolina (Covid messed up rankings though) 2016 #15 Western Michigan That is it. So if the G5 gets auto bids you are most likely looking at 5 of the 16 teams being outside the 20 best teams. That is nearly a 1/3 of your playoff. With 20 teams you at least reduce it to 1/4. The Top 25 future G5 by year, Top 16 future P3 by year, SEC/BIG Top 16 teams: 2014 G5 #20 ACC #3 and #12 B12 #5, #6, and #11 P12 #2, #10, #14, and #15 SEC/B1G 7 teams 2015 G5 #21 and #24 ACC #1, #9, and #10 B12 #11 and #16 P12 #6 and #15 SEC/B1G 8 teams 2016 G5 #15, #24, and #25 ACC #2, #11, and #13 B12 #12 and #16 P12 #4, #9, and #10 SEC/B1G 7 teams 2017 G5 #20 and #25 ACC #1 and #10 B12 #12 and #15 P12 #8, #11, and #13 SEC/B1G 8 teams 2018 G5 #21 and #25 ACC #2 B12 #8 and #16 P12 #9 and #13 SEC/B1G 10 teams 2019 G5 #17, #19, #20, and #23 ACC #3 B12 #7 P12 #6 and #11 SEC/B1G 11 teams 2020 G5 #12, #19, #22, and #24 ACC #2 and #13 B12 #8, #10, and #16 P12 None SEC/B1G 9 teams 2021 G5 #23 and #24 ACC #12 B12 #4, #7, #9, and #13 P12 #11 and #14 SEC/B1G 8 teams Overall G5 highest rank avg: 18.625 G5 highest rank median: 20 ACC avg: 1.875 teams B12 avg: 2.375 teams P12 avg: 2.25 teams SEC/B1G avg 8.5 teams The ACC really needs to either get better or add Notre Dame. B12 IMO will slide down a bit as they will lose some respect after Texas and Oklahoma leave. They won't get ranked as high preseason and will not have a marquee game to bump them up. Even with Oklahoma, Baylor couldn't get higher than 7th despite being 11-2 and B12 Champs. The P12 needs to get better. The last 4 years they haven't shown much. The last 2 years they failed to even have a single Top 10 team. The B1G and SEC should probably divvy up the ACC, B12, P12 and go to 24 teams each and then break away from the NCAA. Each conference can have 4 divisions of 6, a 4 team conference playoff, and then play each other for the national championship. [/QUOTE]
