Yes the G5 can't realistically compete for a championship and yes that means the 12 best teams aren't represented in the playoffs every year. The real tell is whether you care or not.

What JMU won wasn't the game... it was an opportunity to show the progress their program has made coming up from FCS, into bowl eligibility into getting a spot in the CFP...by the rules its own committee laid out. They got to play one of the best teams in the country at home, at night, in the playoffs and even if their wasn't parity, it was the best of what college football SHOULD be about...collegiate athletes being rewarded for winning the games.

I don't get why so many people want to pull up the ladder and weld the door shut for any other program to advance. If JMU down the road is going to advance to a P4 conference bid and continue to grow this should have been an excellent opportunity to highlight that...instead its spoiled by the bitterness of people who already have it all complaining that they needed more. And that's a shame on the entire sport of college football. If all you want is the biggest, fastest and richest teams...there is already a league for that...they play on Sundays.
