Was thinking today with these early bowl games really not meaning anything what if they created a NIT like tournament for college football? Could be for the Group of 5 schools that really have no chance at making it to the College Football Playoff.

Make it 8 teams with the 5 GO5 champions and 3 at large spots. So this year it would look somthing like this because Sunbelt had Co Champions only 2 at large spots available:

1 Western Michigan 13-0 MAC Champion vs 8 Arkansas State 7-5 Sunbelt Co Champion

2 Temple 10-3 AAC Champion vs 7 Appalachian State 9-3 Sunbelt Co Champion

3 Western Kentucky 10-3 CUSA Champion vs 6 Boise State 10-2 MW

4 San Deigo State 10-3 MW Champion vs 5 South Florida 10-2 AAC East runner up

All games are at the higher seeds home field then have the Championship game on New Years Day at a neutral site. Feel like it would give the smaller schools something more to play for and make winning their conference mean more as well.
