re: In this $$ Driven NIL era with $40M rosters, I'm disappointed with how much week 1 sucks

Would a #1 vs #2 be good enough? St John Bosco the nations top ranked high school plays Bishop Gorman, ranked second. The game will be on MaxPreps channel on Youtube free.

I somewhat wished Penn St and Florida State had not gone after the money and stayed Independent.
I think we would have had a great mix of styles and conference games to pick from every week
I mean, having the Eastern Independents play regional games and also playing one huge intersectional game yearly if not 2 made for good scheduling.
FSU schedule was
ECU
GA Southern
Tulane
Viginia Tech
Miami
Auburn
LSU
South Carolina
Cincinnatti
Memphis
Florida
Penn St
Texas
USC
Rutgers
Temple
Syracuse
BC
Alabama
WVU
Maryland
Notre Dame
Pitt
Okay, now get off my lawn

Well you add the new criteria of making the playoffs and conference expansion at the same time and it hurts. Everyone's schedule in the sec got tougher since nil and expansion.

We’re in the Southeast, not Cali and Nevada

Better get used to it. Ain't nobody gonna play nobody here soon. All conference games and directional teams.

False. They just aren't being scheduled strictly on week 1 anymore.
Oklahoma and Michigan play in week 2
Ohio State and Texas play in week 2
Alabama plays Florida State in week 3 this year, Ohio State in week 3 next year, and Ohio State in week 2 in 2028

why does it matter? You play 12 games regardless of when the crappy ones occur.
I remember for the longest time people complained about their being a cupcake in the 2nd to last week before big rivalry weekend. People bemoaned that it wasn't entertaining enough for them. Well now wiht a 9 game scheudl emost teams are playing conferences games in the penultimate week and people are complainign about week 1. Some people jsut won't be happy until a team plays all 12 games against ranked teams.

Ohio state consistently plays some serious out of conference competition.
I respect them so much

I realize that, but I'm pretty sure there will be some SEC commits in this game.

Well yeah, we’re fans. NFL teams play 17 games against NFL teams

I didn't realize CFB teams were playing against non-CFB opponents?
Not to mention this is a lazy reference since there isn't an apples to apples comparison...the worst team in the NFL is still made up of the top 1% of 1% of 1% of all football players on planet earth. The worst team in the league could beat the best team on any given sunday
I'm a fan of UGA football, so I enjoy watching them play ball regardless of if there's a few gimmes on the schedule.

It’s more like NIL teams playing against non-NIL opponents
