This thread is for discussing anything about the slate of college football games on Saturday, November 18th.
Post your general observations about the day’s games or even use this as a Game Day Thread if the thread for the game you’re following has no other participants.
I have to work for part of today, and normally that would annoy me, but I feel like this week’s slate is pretty meh. A couple of good games, sure, but not one of those days that I’m watching from noon to midnight.
If I were a P5 commissioner, I would make it against the rules to schedule FCS opponents. I’m all for G5 programs playing them, but it’s an embarrassment for the SEC in particular.
I also don’t really buy into the concept that those pay-for-wins are good for the sport (in that ~$1M funds a lot of those smaller athletics programs). It’s the same argument as trickle down economics, but in this case there are plenty of FCS schools (and lower) that don’t get the payday at all.
Sorry for going on a bit of a rant, but the SEC needs to be put on blast in Week 12 every year until they knock this off
Yeah, we should schedule someone other than our current opponent this week. I agree
What I’m hearing is you would like Tennessee to play Austin Peay every year, got it
