ESPN Drones: G5 Should Create G5 Playoff

[Rocky Style]

Just heard the narrative being pushed on CFB Live.  They showed the tweets from the UCF AD, and made fun of him for saying USF should be in the top 25 after losing to Houston.

They basically came out and said nothing the G5 ever does will get them in the top 4 debate and they have to beef up the non conference schedule (no mention of P5 walling off G5 and backing out of deals).  Their solution: G5 playoff around Christmas time.

That would be the end of College Football. People would finally see the farce for what it is and become disillusioned.

Tell ESPN to stop worrying about the G5 and to get those Chapter 11 papers ready

Maybe ESPN could officially divide their on-air personalities into various levels of money-generating power. Only the top 5 employees would actually matter. We'll call them the "P5" for short. The single best analyst from the next level down could be guaranteed one prime time show per year on the big network and a one-time bonus check, but they can forget about getting any pay raises. In fact, maybe the non-P5 employees could just start their own sports network and quit bothering the real sports personalities with their pesky up-and-coming energy and new ideas. Imagine how much more exciting and profitable Sports Center and 30-for-30 would be. Also, all those non-P5 employees should just shut up and be happy that they aren't getting laid off. Oh wait...

Just stop watching. Why do you think the casual fan watches march madness? To see the mid majors pull of upsets and Cinderella stories. Nobody cares to see 2 loss Ohio State who were humiliated by Iowa vs Clemson who lost to a bad Syracuse for the umpteenth consecutive year just because their ADs sit on the committee. Apart from fans of those teams that is.

its a big club and we ain't in it.

The vast majority of college football fans are fans or P5 teams. I think it is highly unlikely that anyone would stop watching college football.

I haven't watched any of the playoffs.  It's always Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State every time.

I stopped watching ESPNs "whose in" programming a long time ago - if I really care, I can see it in about 30 seconds after the fact as opposed to wasting hours

In fact, my perfect playoff scenario this year would be UGA, Bama, Auburn and UM, with an undefeated Wisconsin and the rest of the BIG10 getting shut out (yes - I realize this will never happen, but if it did, changes would happen pretty quick)
