I don't think northwestern could go to the outback this year because they were just in it two years ago. The conference changed the way bowl selections are done a few years ago and are trying to spread teams out so the city of Tampa doesn't have to deal with drunk Iowans every single January

Hey guys G5 teams can't compete with P5, remember that Hawaii game one time? (IGNORE ALL OTHER EVIDENCE.)

Grats to UCF, they should be in the playoff instead of Bama.

Im sure they are, but do you think you’re secretly getting revenge on ESPN by hate watching all of the coverage and games?

If you’re legitimately mad enough about things people say on ESPN to root for your rivals they’ve gotten exactly what they wanted from you.

Also, considering the Fox deal, they now have a financial stake in almost every school given that they now own the regional rights. Like, Notre Dame and whatever games are carried by FS1 are the only schools/conferences that they don't have a financial stake in.

They did but ESPN still has an interest in the Big Ten. They're paying a ton to the Big Ten in rights fees, and their most consistently highly rated games are OSU games
