Why they would choose us for the playoffs

[Double ET]

Our enrollment and budget cannot financially support football 1-A program.

Figured money would be the reason. Just thought to ask.

Does anyone really think the MAC will ever even sniff a College Football Playoff 'conference championship' bid as one of the top 6 ranked conference championships?

Just win consistently and all these problems will sort themselves out!

Exactly.  This expansion of the FBS playoff system will harm the MAC, not help it. I'm quite sure that the big time powers will distribute any extra playoff money ONLY to the conferences that qualify for the tournament (namely 11 big time teams plus the one token, and that token will never be the MAC.)
