Might as well try to get used to this. Another very easy way to make sure that a G5 doesn't get into the playoffs is to keep them out of the Top 25 for as long as possible. Preseason polls are stupid enough on their own merit. There shouldn't be a poll of any kind until week 4, at the earliest. But I digress. Yup, make a G5 leapfrog at least 20-something schools to get into a top 4 position for playoff positioning. That's the August mantra to keep the G5 out. The next great "power" move will be the absurd week-to-week ranking shifts. P5 schools will likely drop a few spots after losses. But God forbid a G5 school loses a game. Drops of 10+ spots are very possible.
