This basically kicks the Pac-(2) out of their automatic entry into the CFP.

The 5+7 model, which was agreed upon at Thursday's in-person meeting in Dallas, is a change from the previous 6+6 proposal and still requires unanimous approval by the 11 presidents and chancellors who control the CFP.

 On Thursday, the group also established a new policy requiring a league to have eight members to be eligible for an automatic qualifying spot in the 12-team field.

This will make it a little harder for the AAC champ to get a spot in the playoff.  If the SEC, B1G, ACC, B12, and one other conference all have conference champions ranked ahead of the AAC champ, we're out of luck.

It's really no different for us (AAC) from the previous 6 + 6 proposal.  It still allows the highest G5 champ to be in the CFP; that's all we had in the other proposal.

What this primarily does, because of the 8 conference member minimum, is f OSU/WSU pac2. They now need to get an agreement with the MWC even more urgently, as they can only get at larges otherwise next year. And I am very skeptical this will work by 24. Not unless they open the wallet and give the MWC membership that is supposed to play them some of that leftover PAC money that they are still fighting for in court. The leverage in that negotiation is now much more firmly with the MWC.

OSU/WSU still have the PAC brand, which has more value as a P5 entity than the MWC as a G5.  I would not be surprised to see them merge the MWC into the PAC brand to keep all the P5 automatic accesses.  They would just need to re-do media contracts and settle PAC liabilities then they keep whatever is left from the $200mil in assets.

That may all be true. But to do it before the start of the 24 season would be an enormous race at this point. I would bet against them getting that done in time.

I'm not sure it does get the highest G5 in.  Didn't the 6+6 model guarantee a G5 champion a spot in the playoff?  It was the conference champions of the B1G, SEC, ACC, B12 and PAC conferences plus the highest ranked G5 champion.  That's the 5+1 guaranteed to make the playoff.  I don't think the 5+7 guarantees a G5 champion a spot.  Assuming OSU and WSU keep the PAC together by pulling in most or all of the MWC and maintains its "P" status and either OSU or WSU win the conference for a few years, they will most assuredly be ranked higher than any of the G5 conference champions.  In the 5+7 model it's just the 5 highest ranked conference champions regardless of conference (P or G) designation.  It will always be B1G, SEC, ACC, B12 and probably the PAC-whatever.  Then the next 7 will come from some combination of teams from the B1G, SEC, ACC and B12.  The 5-7 will effectively lock-out all current G5 schools from the playoff except those that either join with OSU and WSU to keep the PAC afloat or are lucky enough to move up into one of the other 4 conferences.

The NCAA gives them 2 years.

The NCAA yes. But with this new decision the CFP does not. It is installing a minimum of 8 teams for conference champions to be eligible for the 5 in the 5+7 equation.  In 24 they would only be eligible for the at large if they are a two team conference. And considering they don't have a schedule yet, the assumption is that they will not be playing enough strong teams to make any kind of case for such an at large.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      Dog shit excuse. It has nothing to do with anything. It's one of the same several excuses used in an attempt to put a curtain up and around the real problems.

      They do have a lot of advantages in that an entire region of the state is theirs.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      We are in the best conference now that we have ever been in since the old MVC days. We host conference games this season with Tulane, Tulsa, Army, etc and those are great. Right where we need to be. Much better than the old SLC or even SunBelt. Playing some Power Teams are fun in both football and basketball, actually the highlight of the schedules! I look more forward to our away game with Texas Tech than a home game with SFA, and I think most fans do too.
