Fine… it would be more fun to watch competitive playoff games that are more evenly matched on both levels.

I agree with you there but what do you do with teams like Boise state or any team that could make the playoffs on their own merit, are they permanently relegated to the g6 playoffs or can they make the actual playoffs?

I don’t know especially now that it’ll be 24 team playoff. That is already so many more games you have to play. Originally I had the idea of the winner of g6 playoff gets the spot for the g6 in the 12 team playoff. But now that it is 24 teams I don’t know if that would still be manageable.
