A possible reason is the current Playoff structure doesn't


have automatic bids. So in theory it could be argued that all FBS conferences have an equal chance to earn 1 of the 4 Playoff bids. Now we know reality says otherwise, but I am not sure that matter in a court law.

Where things change is if/when the Playoff expands beyond 4 members and the 5 P5 conferences are given an automatic bid to the Playoffs. In theory, all 5 P5 conference champions could end up being ranked outside the Top 8 or even unranked and still receive the automatic bid to the Playoffs (think of the Big East during the BCS days). It is possible that all 5 G5 champions could end up ranked higher than all 5 P5 champions (think UVA-like upsets) and yet only 1 of the G5 champions will receive a bid to the Playoffs. I am not saying that scenario is likely, but that could be an argument the G5 lawyers could make if they opted to go down this path.

  I said ELITE. This year's ND team is NOT elite. -- Maroon Baboon 12/13/2019 3:47PM
  An 11-1 ND team would be considered elite. -- Atlee Hokie 12/13/2019 3:50PM
  It would depend on schedule and other factors. -- Maroon Baboon 12/13/2019 4:42PM

  Interesting that North Dakota State was ranked in 2018 -- VTHokie2000 12/12/2019 09:42AM
  That may be true, but any poll is subjective -- VTHokie2000 12/12/2019 08:55AM
  Giving a bid to every FBS champ makes the CFP too big. -- Maroon Baboon 12/12/2019 12:46PM
  The positions aren't mutually exclusive. -- Maroon Baboon 12/12/2019 12:56PM
