No. Beating a lousy coot team doesn't mean you make the playoffs.
HTH.

Non power 5 teams to get in. Remember UCF?

That the reason I bring it up. I do remember UCF. Seems like they would have given better competition than ohio state did that year in the playoffs too. What more can a school do to try an win a championship than go undefeated. If thats the case for non power 5 than they need a "non power 5 national championship" IMO.

College football is the only collegiate sport...

that is set-up in such a way that some teams have absolutely ZERO chance of ever winning a National Championship. That basically includes every team not in a P5 conference.

I have said this several times. Some people get down right upset when it is suggested the group of 5 have a championship. But, they spend "REAL MONEY" to travel, dress, scholarship, feed, etc. their football teams. Not on the same budget as power 5 schools; but real money - good money. To basically tell all of them - "it will take an all out miracle and then you can get in" is whack!
I give it less than 5-7 years and it will happen!

I think the difference with AppSt and UCF would be they would have 2 Power 5 victories. UCF had a Power 5 game canceled in both 2017 and 2018 so they only had 1 win vs Power 5 school. That would be App's only glimmer of hope getting in unlike UCF previously. Well that and they need chaos at the top. Some 2-loss B1G and SEC teams, 1-or-2 loss OK or Baylor, and sad to say 1-loss Clemson.

The'd get a nice bowl trip. I think the Cotton Bowl hosts the at-large team this year so they could end-up playing Oklahoma, Texas or Baylor.

They don’t have to. Just go undefeated and declare themselves national champs.

If the ACC were to expand again App St would be a great addition for football. I don’t know how they are in other sports. It fits with our geographical footprint but not a huge marketplace.

No. They would need SC to be undefeated (snicker) to lend

No, but undefeated they probably get a New Year's 6 bowl game.
Have them join the ACC? Nope.
We need Notre Dame as a full member and a good AAC team like Central Florida or Memphis.
Memphis is a better TV market, given 2 of the big 3 Florida universities are already in the ACC.
They are strong in football and basketball, and they have name recognition with Penny Hardaway as their MBB coach.
That would remove a FCS football game and add another conference game in football, too.
