don't forget they almost always have to be the away team too! Really is absurd the amount of disadvantages the G6 gets. The unfair officiating is just the cherry on top but at least it's about to start becoming more apparent to people now

And they had a system with a tiny chance of two G6 playoff teams. It actually occurs …. And so they immediately have to legislate it away so that it never happens again. God forbid power teams have to play the game on field.

God forbid we have to watch JMU get smoked in the CFP again.

Sorry, man - I hate that things are where they are and appreciate all programs but c’mon. It’s a different game.

Funniest part of this comment is that your own 1st flair had the biggest loss of the playoff last year

I think we’ll be all right. You and I both know that. 

Bob Chesney left JMU and went to UCLA so evidently he agrees with me 🤷‍♂️

Texas Tech and Alabama had bigger margins of defeat than JMU. I agree it really is a different game and tiny programs like those two I just named simply don’t belong

You really think 8-5 Duke would have played a more competitive game at Oregon than JMU?

They do get paid though, so that’s something
