College football is divided into two groups; the haves and have-nots. Interestingly, not all the haves are good, and not all the have-nots are bad. In fact, some of the best teams in the country each year are among the have-nots, although they often struggle to maintain staying power. This article will focus on how mid-major teams can survive in the world of college football that seems to be working against them.
Note: I am purposefully avoiding using the term Group of 5 of G5 as this term will become outdated once the new playoff structure goes into effect.
