Opinion: A Group of 5 team may never make the CFP, but it’s not the teams at fault

A Group of Five team may never make the playoff, and it has nothing to do with the team itself.

A team from a Group of 5 conference may do everything in its power to show its strength and dominance in college football, but it will never have a shot. All in thanks to the current structure of the College Football Playoff (CFP).

As it stands, the CFP allows the top four teams in the nation the chance to fight for the national championship. The four teams must battle it out in the semi-final game, a highly valued bowl game, before advancing to the championship.
