The G5 will not break away from the P5, the money is with the P5.  If the break away, so what?

The P5 is not likely to break away from the G5.  They need the patsies to puff up the elite teams.  The SEC beats up on easy teams and then everyone says they beat up on each other.  Would Alabama actually have a 10 win season versus:

Clemson, LSU, TAMU, OU, ND, UM, SU, Georgia, Florida, NCState, UT and Washington?  Probably not, the grinder would be too tough.  That is why the SEC teams get one FCS cream puff, and three other games (usually weak P5 and G5 teams to be used as breathers, if not outright BYE weeks.  For the record, no team is likely to run the table against a schedule of 12 top 25 teams!

I am for expanding the playoffs - I believe 16 teams is the right number, the other divisions have 16 team playoffs and D1 has more players.  Regardless, UCF did not earn the right to play in the limited four team playoff.  And yes, the P5 is favored in the four team format, as they will be in an eight or sixteen team format, but that is part of the business.
