If BYU and Cincy are both undefeated and ranked top 5, how about they pull together a play in game on the same week the P5 conferences are playing their championship game? Winner gets in the playoff and loser likely gets a NY6 game. I know Cincy is already in a conference that has a championship game and highly likely the AAC would not be able to change the game but with the amount of money Cincy could make for the AAC perhaps they would be interested. Also, SMU may have a say. We all saw what is possible last year when people are willing to have open minds.
One more thought...how about an ESPN game with the 2 top ranked teams not playing in a conference championship game??? One more data point for committee and $$$.
