Two replies to one comment shows a lack of impulse control.

You're right....far too many ignorant people to allow such things.

it's not fair or intelligent, it's just reality

2008:
"The Big XII Rises"
.
8 Penn St
9 Boise St..........winner vs 1 Oklahoma
.
5 Texas
12 Cincinnati......winner vs 4 Utah
.
6 Alabama
11 TCU..............winner vs 3 USC
.
7 Texas Tech
10 Ohio St.........winner vs 2 Florida
.
Interestingly, 3 G5 teams get in.  Again, no ACC teams.  All of the 11-1 Big XII teams are spread out nicely.  USC vs Alabama, then possibly Florida would be biggies.  
Utah isn't given a favor, facing 3rd-ranked Texas.

I thought you said it would be one G5 going against 11 P5s? You have posted multiple of examples where a plurality of G5s would have gotten in during recent years. And those were before they had anything to "play for." They should be extra motivated now.

We're exploring the past together.  You don't have to be a dick in EVERY post, do you?  Let's hold hands and enjoy the journey!!

I don't view this as very favorable to ND.  G5s, yes, it puts them in the Dance at least, Big Money for them, great, and on occasion they will survive two rounds.

Maybe once a century they will survive three.  Who was the best "G5" kind of team ever in history?  I don't think we'd include Pitt in that group today.  Boise State?

Maybe since 1960 to take Army out of the equation.

Certainly not BYU, though they probably were decent.  I'd guess Boise State of some year.  How good were those Grambling teams back in the day?

Navy had some good teams.  Syracuse?

Did a random scan of football reference, non-exhaustive. 

1969 Houston, 1981 SMU were the two best ones I found by numerical measures.

Would either have had some decent chance in a 12 team playoff in those years?

I think SMU in 81 had a chance.  Only one close loss to the Horns. 

The Horns were solid, finished #2 after beating 3rd ranked Bama in the Cotton.  Only loss to a good Razorback team in Fayetteville

SMU would have played in the Cotton, but were on probation for recruiting violations

when you have a solid defense and Eric Dickerson, you have a chance.
