If this the only sport where many schools have a ZERO percent chance of being a champion?

Think about the NCAA Basketball D-1 Where over 300 teams have a shot to make the tournament, where they then have a powerball chance of moving out.


In football, if there is zero path to make a championship, then why are you in that division?

My idea for everyone getting the chance to compete for a championship:

* Best teams play minimal possible games
* Worst teams have a "chance" of advancing all the way
* Games are wrapped up by 1st week of January
* Division winners & 5 automatics
* Like an 8 game format - the top 4 teams would only need to win 3 games to win the championship - but you are including 16

I'm assuming you meant is and not if?

And the answer is yes.

What are the benefits of being D-1 FBS if you arent in an AQ conference?

There are none. Except the pay outs from the big schools to you for coming to get your ass kicked.

That isnt even a benefit. You get a payout for being FCS as well.
