How can you let UCF in, when at least 1/3 of P5 schools go undefeated with that schedule, and then punish P5 schools for playing teams like Oklahoma and Notre Dame OOC?

You can’t have it both ways.

G5 are damn lucky Utah and Urban came around, that’s for sure. No G5 has a better resume and without that team, no G5 is ever even in the discussion.
How about this.........give the "best of" the G5 a conditional bid into an 8 team playoff and see what happens? It takes time for trends to develop (we really don't even have enough data to make a ton of conclusions on a 4 team playoff yet, to be honest). Let's say that after 6 years, the G5 team has yet to advance(assuming a qualifier every year, which is probably a stretch) and they are routinely getting smoked. Cool. They get the boot, or more strict conditions.

While I admit that its impossible to make it truly fair, I don't think its fair to entirely discredit them.
