All discussion about yesterdays games aside.

It’s a damn travesty that TAM had to play at 11AM.

In the 1st round, the 2 good SEC games (OU/Bama & TAM/UM) should have been the Saturday 2:30 & 7PM games.

The entire world knew the G5 matchups would be disasters, so put them in shite time slots and give better primetime football.

That needs to be a rule passed this year. Why we cater to these small programs is beyond me at this point.

JMU made it interesting After the half ... no different than Bama OU.

They need to go to 14 and let 11-14 play 2 play-in games. Make these shitty teams weed themselves out

Palpable drama when they cut it to a four touchdown deficit. Tulane also scored a 4th quarter TD just like Oklahoma.

G5 needs their own playoff. We don’t need more teams than 12 when only 3 or so have an actual chance at winning the championship.

Cant shut them out without facing lawsuits or breaking off completely to another league (probably outside of the NCAA). If you go to 14, give the last spot to them, and make them play #11 in the play-in.

The shite games will always be at 3 and 7 on Saturday. They aren’t putting decent games up against the NFL.

I don’t want the DEI playoffs either, but if it’s going to be forced on us, give the good games better timeslots for TV.

They should agree as it’s better for ratings and ad revenue.

Well the ad revenue in the later slots went to the NFL. Which is why ESPN sublicensed them to TNT.

If those slots were absolutely that valuable, they would have kept them, and you know it.

Disagree they don’t need to happen at all. Have a G5 national championship playoff and get them out of power 4.

All the G5 teams need to be in the same bracket and play each other first.

Whichever one advances from that can then get stomped in the quarters or the semis preferably by the top seed as an added bonus.
