This seems like another step towards marginalizing G5 teams. In essence, the committee is creating higher risk and less rewards for playing anyone outside of the P4 structure. On the other hand, I wonder if it makes Connecticut a more attractive, nonconference opponent given that the P4 may perceive us as a "winnable game" that is less of a drag on their strength of schedule component.
