No school from CUSA would ever be considered for the CFP due to the weak schools (CUSA is rated the worst G5 conference) and poorly rated schedules. Liberty is 8-0 this year and their schedule is ranked #128 and are rated #63 in FBS by Sagarin. They are rated below 6-2 SMU, 8-0 Air Force, 6-2 Troy, 8-0 James Madison, 7-1 Tulane, 4-4 Boise St., 7-1 Fresno St., 5-3 UTSA, and 6-2 Memphis.
In 2022, before joining CUSA, Liberty played Wake Forest, BYU, UConn, Arkansas, and Virginia Tech. This year, they play no P5 schools, and they have none scheduled until 2027. They play 3 Tuesday night and 1 Thursday night games this year. Does anybody really want to sign up for that? Not me.
