In other words BAMA or FSU can't play WVU in the GA Dome and claim it's a neutral site game unless WVU agrees.  Same as VT playing Boise State in DC.  Neutral Site wins vs P5 are worth 2.625 pts.-No points whatsoever are given for games vs FCS (1-aa) Schools.  Season ticket holders would love this.Bonus Points in the event of a tie1.  Conference Champ or not (1 pt each)2.  More P5 Wins (1 pt)3.  Most OOC P5 wins (1 pts)4.  Most OOC P5 Road wins (2 pts).To anyone who says this eliminates G5, I say it gives more opportunity than they're getting now.  They have to go on the ROAD vs P5 schools and WIN.  Florida State built their program doing that-anyone, anywhere, anytime!  There is no perfect system, but a committee is always biased and not that subjective, especially when a tv network who overpaid for the tv rights to the playoffs and conferences and in some cases co owns some conference networks is picking who is on the committee to pick the playoffs.</blockquote>
