Silver lining for CUSA

[Coach Bill Lewis]

If B12 terminated it would mean that 2 G5 conferences should get an auto bid. If B12 stays in place taking the strongest programs from AAC the chance for a C-USA school being the highest ranked G-5 champion greatly improves.

[Mean Green 93-98]

In the new playoff proposal, there are no autobids.  The six highest-ranked conference champs get in, regardless of what conference they are in.  Obviously, if a P5 conference is terminated, that reduces the competition for those spots.  But I expect that the new realignment will prompt the powers that be make it easier to get more SEC teams in, so they will probably reduce the number to the five highest-ranked conference champs getting in.
