Northern Illinois athletic director Sean Frazier made waves on Thursday with the idea of the Group of 5 football programs branching off to create their own playoff.
Since 2014, the College Football Playoff (CFP) has determined the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) national champion and there has not been a non-Power 5 team in the 4-team field yet – leading Frazier to believe that only the big boys in the world of college football have a chance to be crowned as champion.
"There is absolutely no ability for us (teams in the Group of 5) to be in that national title conversation," Frazier told ESPN's Brett McMurphy.
