This is what I've been talking about.

Is a seat at the table worth the public flogging?  Is the added exposure worth being so exposed as to not belonging?

Tulane, JMU, Boise last year - they should be competing for their own NC, not THE NC.  There is a nice grey area between Ohio State-Georgia and Montana-Montana State...fill it.  Have competitive games vs schools on equal footing and have an opportunity at a NC. 

For the love of logic.

There's a word for that, and it ain't capitalism.  It starts with an M and ends with -ism.

James Madison certainly more competitive than Tennessee was last year.

I am somewhat reluctant to keep any G5 team out of the playoffs just for being G5, but this whole Tulane- OM game was a complete farce. For one, OM ALREADY beat the shit out of them earlier this season. If you’re going to hold Texas accountable for losing to Florida, you have to hold Tulane accountable to the same standard. I’m not even sure how Tulane even got in, I guess it’s some sort of AQ for G5 teams?  

Now I’m not naive enough to believe that just because a team blows the other one out in one game that the 2nd game will be similar. Heck, we’ve got multiple examples of that NOT being true this season. OU/Bama, and UGA-Bama both had different outcomes.  I just think that any G5 game vs P4 teams should be heavily weighted.

It's tough to say
We need to be done with G5 charity.

Yeah, they take the top 5 conference champions, which is supposed to be the P4 +1 G5. 

Duke won the ACC, and lost to Tulane H-H, so Tulane got their spot.

No way. Winners win. Losers say we need to change the system.

I think they were happy. JMU was more competitive than Tennessee and Oregon and SMU last year. If the poindexters paid attention they would have flip flopped JMU and Tulane. But they don't, which is why you should not let the poindexters keep taking everything over.

JMU put up over 500 yards and 30 points in Autzen. I would have liked to see how they did against a more inept team like Oklahoma.

They are not in the same class.

Why pretend they are?

JMU would finish dead last in the SEC or B1G.

Tulane lost to Ole Miss twice this year, to the tune of 86-20.

Enough with the charity already.
