RE: They absolutely wouldn't lump BYU with the rest of the G5 for an autobid

Easy. Spot is for Group of 5 conference members, BYU is not a member of a G5 conference

Yep. The requirement is a conference champion.

Not if we get an agreement with a G5 Conference. (See Below)

The rule is "highest ranked G5 champion". We can't be a champion of a G5 conference because we aren't in a G5 conference

Rule should be "highest ranked non-P5 conference team"

Was this a miss? Weren’t we still in the MWC when it went down

No but Holmoe didn't really have any way to push BYU's case either. All Indys

Would've been an easy sell, my guess is that he didn't even try

ND has a seat at the table as an equal to a P5 conference.

This doesn't make sense. You have to be a part of the conference to be a conference champion

Football: Big East defined their champ as highest ranked team when they were BCS

HawkeyeCoug

Their teams were in the conference. You can't be champion of a league you aren't a part of

May depend on the legalese, but I doubt the P5 would fight it

CFP contract dictates that the highest-ranked G5 champions gets the autobid.

BYU and Army should get a bowl agreement with the expanded AAC

Where are you getting the expanded AAC from?

ColonelMustard

BYU has no representation when these decisions are made

BYU Fan

5/5/21 3:58pm

Because all of the conferences voted. BYU didn’t have a vote then and we won’t now unless we join a conference.

We should get one with the ACC. Take up the rest of NDs games
