The “group of five” conferences are working to finalize a three-tier playoff revenue distribution system that rewards the conference with the best team and the conference with the best overall performance, CBSSports.com has learned.
The Mountain West pushed for Boise State and San Diego State to return to the league in part because of playoff distribution positioning.
Boise, which was scheduled to join the Big East on July 1 before changing course on New Year's Eve, has outperformed the best team from the Big East's scheduled 2014 lineup in six of the last seven years based on the AP top 25 poll.
In 2012, Northern Illinois from the MAC crashed the Orange Bowl and the Mountain West ranked three teams inside the top 25 (including Boise).
