Knights are undefeated. Could possibly run the table again and be left out of the playoffs. Shows the system is rigged for the Power 5 schools. UCF has 50k students and is in a big media market. Troy could go 13-0 one year and we'd still just get a Sun Belt Bowl bid. Read an article that said Nebraska had 5 times our football budget. We have done incredibly well in football, all things considered. I work at the Auburn home games and honestly get no interest or enjoyment out of the games. One reason I chose Troy is I prefer being from a smaller school.

One reason I chose Troy is I prefer being from a smaller school. UCF has 80,000 students total ( my son graduated fro UCF in 2016) it is now the largest university in the country. They have a dynamic qb who is the big reason for their success. They still have USF to play and USF is capable of beating them. They could go undefeated and they will not make the playoffs guranteed. If Notre Dame, Bama, GA and Ohio St win out that is the playoff and Bama showed you can make the playoff and not even be your conference division champ

Agree. Troy would not even sniff the playoff if we went undefeated.
Under the current system, think it’s already baked in, the Power 5 schools have their own division and their championship. Would not mind having a Group of 5 playoff or championship. Not preferred but it’s the reality.
Now if you went to an eight team playoff, then you could include that any undefeated Group of 5 will get an auto bid. If the P5 stays at 4 team playoff, need our own trophy.

Agree but the would shake up the current system to the core. The likes of the SEC want to keep their feet on our throats
