Everyone in the B1G wants to go past 16 teams so they can get FOX playoff games. That's the only reason. The conference is effectively owned by FOX now.

If FOX wanted to get playoff games, they had the chance with the post-2025 field. They didn't present a good offer, so ESPN paid for it.

Keep speaking truth. We're on your side, even if they aren't.

Big leap to assume Trump is actually paying them TBH

Fire him and make him never know a moment's peace.

I'm finished with the Nazis. Done. Get them out. All of them.

I'm not blaming the G5 teams. If the ACC had rational tiebreakers, Miami would've gotten the automatic bid and the first round would've been more entertaining. That's not the G5s' fault.

That has nothing to do with my point. If the conferences were of reasonable size and could determine champions without going to 5th tiebreakers, Miami (or SMU, or Georgia Tech) would've won the ACC and two G5s wouldn't have made it.

No discussions about this should take place without blaming the major conferences. This 12 team format was set to be great, but the SEC and B1G messed it up before it could even happen by eating other leagues to enrich themselves. That led to stupid mega leagues and everything that happened after.

And in total I half watched about 35% of one game. The ratings will be very interesting.

The funny thing is, I was against the bowl opt out when it first broke. I preferred to watch my team play again. But the more these clowns act like clowns, I'm glad ND stuck it in their eye. Use us for content, we can't stop you, but we can push back too.

I can't put into words how mad I am about this. Not being left out. In a vacuum that's justifiable. The process was so transparently corrupt. It was all kayfabe. An act.

Don't clutch your pearls now. You did all of this, ESPN. You devalued bowls and the regular season. Now we're acting accordingly.
