What happens if you have multiple G5 teams or Notre Dame undefeated

Would the number of neutral site games expand? I guess I could just see logistical issues with trying to schedule a neutral site game on short notice. Also, I am not sure ESPN would be thrilled with the uncertainty on the number of teams from year to year given the TV contract would be in place for multiple years.

Don't get me wrong, it is an interesting idea and I think it could work. However, the devil is in the details so I am not sure if all parties could make it work. Also, I do think all parties would use it to just permanently expand the Playoffs to 8 teams.

Imagine the controversy this morning -- Millpoint 12/08/2019 10:52AM

I don't believe the old system would lead to 3 undefeated teams -- Vienna_Hokie 12/13/2019 6:54PM

4 is the right number if determining a rightful champion is -- Colonel Jessup 12/09/2019 2:06PM

Conference championship games should be the de facto playoff first round -- cburgroop 12/11/2019 1:17PM

That turns OOC games into exhibitions and eliminates -- Colonel Jessup 12/12/2019 1:05PM

There wouldn’t be any AQs and the OOC games would still matter -- cburgroop 12/14/2019 09:14AM

Ok. Basically system as we have now -- Colonel Jessup 12/16/2019 11:42AM

4 ** -- SoCloseHokie 12/11/2019 07:47AM

I agree. I would like to see an exemption that might not be logistically -- Maroon Baboon 12/09/2019 3:15PM

I am curious as to why you think on the the #4 v. #5 game should be played -- VTHokie2000 12/10/2019 3:43PM

Because both would be undefeated and P5 conference champs. -- Maroon Baboon 12/10/2019 9:41PM

Makes sense -- VTHokie2000 12/10/2019 9:50PM

All bets are off if teams have losses. Keep it at 4 in those years. -- Maroon Baboon 12/10/2019 10:03PM

Good question. -- Maroon Baboon 12/10/2019 10:21PM

I agree an undefeated P5 conference champion shouldn't be left out -- VTHokie2000 12/10/2019 10:25PM

Matchups under old bowl system would likely be:..... -- CrystalCoveHokie 12/08/2019 09:05AM

Actually, if you want to go back a bit -- Maroon Baboon 12/09/2019 11:49PM

You forgot Notre Dame -- I85Hokie 12/10/2019 08:30AM

ND was 6-4-1 in 1994...went to Fiesta Bowl -- TerryD 12/10/2019 08:45AM

That’s probably the year I was thinking of -- I85Hokie 12/10/2019 8:51PM

Yep, they came off a 11-1 1993 season that saw them end up #2 -- TerryD 12/11/2019 11:46AM

IIRC, an undeserving ND got a Fiesta Bowl bid before us in Vick's last year -- Maroon Baboon 12/10/2019 09:14AM

ND was 9-2 in 2000. Not sure about "undeserving" ** -- TerryD 12/11/2019 11:47AM

Let me clarify. Less deserving than Tech. And not nearly as good. -- Maroon Baboon 12/11/2019 12:20PM

If the opening would have been the Orange, we'd have gotten the bid. ND -- reestuart 12/10/2019 5:27PM

I believe we were 9-3 that year. You all may have deserved the bid -- goldendomer 12/10/2019 09:22AM

9-2 regular season ** -- TerryD 12/11/2019 11:47AM

You have florida playing in two bowls. ** -- stuboy 12/09/2019 9:11PM

Oops. Meant Georgia in the one. -- Maroon Baboon 12/09/2019 11:50PM

But but but but - this now definitively determines the National Champ!! -- PhotoHokieNC 12/08/2019 09:54AM
