"G5s can consistently compete with ~75% of the Power Conference teams, but they should go play their own National Championship because they can't compete at all with the top 10% (neither than 75% of Power Conference schools)." Loser mentality. Also, the Promotion/Relegation games would be as good if not better than "their own National Championship."

College Football 25 has its full reveal tomorrow. It's the most anticipated sports game in a VERY long time as the last college football game released in 2013. It looks like there will be 1 Ultimate Team player per school. Akron's has to be Jason Taylor - right? Or will it be more college-success-based? If so - Charlie Frye? I'm going to be all over this game, so if anyone is interested in doing a ZipsNation online dynasty, let me know.

They haven't had an easier draft decision since LeBron. Altman needs to not be an idiot.

In those 3 years, they would have the opportunity to play traditional power conference teams almost every week, including AT HOME which does not really happen in today's college football. Saying the best they can hope for is to have Vanderbilt's level of success; that's a possibility but a pessimistic "best case scenario." They could also suck those 3 years but win the promotion/relegation game and stay up for another year or more. Who knows what happens, but at least they'd have the chance to prove themselves, something that doesn't really exist in today's college football world. Players transferring out... How is that different from today's situation? You would pray for easier wins but no chance at the Playoff/National Championship? First, isn't that contradicting to "this would be great for Bama because it would create an even worse lower class?" Second, I can't relate to not wanting a shot at the highest level of achievements.

Bowling Green is going to be a contender.

Your post about promotion/relegation dismissed the concept due to the presumed results of the promoted team(s) (i.e. Toledo in your example). I was simply saying that the Playoff is exclusive to 8-12 teams who actually have a shot at winning the whole thing, not simply participating.

Quite a few people. The aforementioned proposal has a ton of G5 fan support as it spreads around X. The key would be to lock in a promotion for X amount of years (say 3 for example). That way the financials and promotion would have time to affect talent influx. At least with this, the G5s would get a shot to force the Power Conference teams to play them. That's more than what we have now, and it would make for a more exciting landscape. The Playoff is already exclusive to about 8-12 programs, so this doesn't change that. I don't think there's a legitimate belief the P4 would agree to this. But it's good fodder for a forum.

The MAC account said it's simply a placeholder to keep things even for the scenario. I've also posed questions aimed at the promotion/relegation matchup seeding and promotion length.

Not sure which team this is against.

This would be interesting.

The ACC disrespected itself by signing the TV deal they did.

More pansy 💩 from Power Conference teams, this time from 4-8 Wake Forest. 1-7 in conference so I'm not sure where Clawson gets off on feeling superior to most G5s.

Freeman > Bronny. Confirmed.

Freeman is getting a lot of run.

It gets weirder. Doug will be keeping his daily FOX radio show.

There's a word that starts with P that would be the perfect way to describe the SEC and probably the other power conference schools.

Each plays 8 conference games this year and the POC schedules vary. From the schools I looked at... App State: 1 FCS, 1 P5 (Pay Game), 2 G5 Coastal Carolina: 1 FCS, 1 P5, 2 G5 James Madison: 1 FCS, 1 P5 (Pay Game), 2 G5 Marshall: 1 FCS, 2 P5, 1 G5 Old Dominion: 2 P5, 2 G5 South Alabama: 1 FCS, 1 P5, 2 G5 Troy: 2 G5, 1 P5, 1 HBCU For comparison... Akron: 1 FCS, 3 P5 Kent: 1 FCS, 3 P5 Miami: 3 P5 (Cincy presumably was not P5 when scheduled), 1 G5 NIU: 1 FCS, 2 P5, 1 G5 Ohio: 1 FCS, 2 P5, 1 G5 Toledo: 1 FCS, 1 P5, 2 G5 WMU: 2 P5, 1 G5, 1 HBCU

Wow.

I wonder which team they're playing. Freeman swatting the 💩 out of Bronny or Sears would be fun.

Looks like 1pm for Freeman's combine appearance.
