Barnes said "soon" but basically said until the ink is dry on contracts they can't really say anything. I have no idea our 5 P5 teams are going to be other than Purdue who was already scheduled. Lots of rumors, lots of teams with open dates... |

Ok so my next question and this is what confuses me most . We already know that there will not be a P2 championship next year but if OSU or WSU finish the season with a record that would normally qualify in better circumstances , could either one play for the MWC title ? Would either one be eligible for any kind of championship national or otherwise or would a bowl game be the best that either team could hope for ? |

We will not be eligible for the MWC, because we are technically not part of the conference. We could finish in the top 12 and qualify for the playoffs. I would assume the Pac 2 will make some individual arrangements with a couple of bowls if both WSU and OSU have records that qualify them for a bowl. |

For perspective..two years ago, Cincinatti made a four team playoff with only two P5 games played. One was against Indiana. Our schedule will be more than enough to get us into a 12 team playoff, just no margin for error |

There are going to be some real hurt feelers if we run the table next year and go to a playoff over a decent conference winning MWC team...

I would assume the Pac 2 will make some individual arrangements with a couple of bowls if both WSU and OSU have records that qualify them for a bowl. There are numerous bowls that choose from a conglomerate of G5 leagues. Not to brag but an 8-4 or 9-3 or 10-2 OSU or WSU team is more attractive than anyone from most of those leagues. The MWC had a three-way tie for first place this year playing an eight-game schedule. It became a cluster%%%%. Just opening themselves up to more problems with a seven-game schedule; surprised they're not going 8-1-3. So that dude was right after all. |

So your saying that even if OSU and WSU became bowl eligible next season based on past seasons standards , that it wouldnt be an automatic ? |

This new scheduling applies to all sports across the board not just football ? |

So your saying that even if OSU and WSU became bowl eligible next season based on past seasons standards , that it wouldnt be an automatic ? IF the 5x7 vote goes through, the conference winners from the P4 are automatic and then the highest ranked G5 conference winner. Then, it is the next highest ranked 7 teams. Generally speaking, how it will work out is the top 12 teams in the nation will go, given or take some wiggle. OSU with a 10 win season with its proposed 2024 schedule is very likely a top 12 team in the nation and very likely gets an at-large bid in this system, even without a conference. But it is not automatic. OSU has no automatic path in 2024 or presumably 2025 but that remains to be seen. Its only path is at large and being highly ranked. |
