What’s the point of these games in college fb?

What if all of the good programs would just play each other? Would be so much more fun

You gotta have games like this to tune up for the rest of the season...

It would be more understandable if it was the first game of the season, not the fourth. But I get it.

Agree with your point. Hard to risk a loss when everyone

Else are playing crappy teams too. For uncc it’s a $1M payday. For us it’s a win, a warm up, a chance to rest some players.

It’s called the college football playoff.
... but I do see your point.

More home games for the hosting teams is one

Another is the money paid to smaller programs for showing up to play. Some of them would likely fold without the occasional Power 5 game check.

Then shorten the season. 10 games against power 5 teams only, no conference championship games. Award division winners by overall record and send them to a playoff.
Parity would increase because right now only a select few programs can pitch being able to play for a natty to a recruit.

And now a bunch of G5 and FCS teams fold up shop.

This is how the money funnels down. This is how FSU went from nobody to a national power, they played a bunch of games where they were overmatched on the road.
If it's not for you, cool, don't watch, but I wish people would stop agitating to change the greatest sport in the world.

The NFL is much more popular. College football is popular in the south that’s about it.

See? You already have a sport to watch.

If you want mediocre teams to have a shot at a championship, or every game to be a toss-up, go watch the NFL.

It’s stupid. College football needs a major overhaul from a scheduling standpoint and of course the postseason.

AMEN. If they could force everyone to play only P5 or quality teams the season would be so much more fun.

if all big schools quit scheduling the patsies then

they’d have to drop their football programs. The small schools only play these games for the payday. Without these games they couldn’t afford to run their athletic departments.
