1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. You play your game of the week at 7:30 after a week of nonstop ESecPN promotion as opposed to playing the B1G game of the week at Noon ...In Week 2, Ohio State plays at Texas. This will be the Prime Time game on ABC and will draw millions more eyeballs than last season's game in Columbus.This, and what in Hades does the Big Ten have to do to get respect?In 2026, Oregon plays - Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan, USC, Nebraska, and UW. And B1G opponents Michigan State, Northwestern, and UCLA will all be improved from what they put in the field in 2025.In an article today, a CBS Sports 'journalist' referred to this slate of B1G games as being 'relatively easy.' Come On Man!This is the kind of 'stuff' that had OBD with a second Big Ten loss last season, being unworthy of a PO spot. But seven SEC teams, including 3-loss Bama, should have been in the PO field.Check out Notre Dame's 2026 schedule and try to find more than a possible loss at BYU and a home loss to Miami. And a 12 or higher-ranked Notre Dame is automatically in the 2026-27 and future PO fields.If Notre Dame had been given this gift in 2025, the Irish would have knocked out Miami. I have no idea why Petitti and Sankey allowed this to happen. Well, actually I do, $$$.On a Penn State site today, with this bending over for Notre Dame, a Penn State writer wonders why PSU didn't remain independent.Maybe one of these days, the FBS will have a real playoff?
