2025 College Football Playoff Bracket - ESPN

SIAP, but I believe they mentioned that TNT and Max paid for the afternoon and night time slots on Saturday. However, ESPN has first pick at which games they wanted for Friday night and Saturday morning.

I can understand how this butthurts a lot of people who think football revolves around them.

We are in the College Football Playoffs; and, we have Game Day! We're having our Cake and getting to eat it too!

Why is anyone complaining that, in addition to that, "We want two Cakes or GTFO!".

For so many years we would have done anything to get where we are now.

Slow down there. I know its not cake, but at Thanksgiving I always want a piece of pumpkin pie AND pecan pie. I'm sure I'm not along in this.

We don't seem at our best in early games.

Best way to neutralize the 12th man...

- Friday night would have sucked for the fans to travel. Not a good reward for those who pay the bills.
- 230pm and 7pm are on TNT & HBO. Call us after Netflix deal is done.


- 11am is convenient for GameDay. They are literally going to move Gameday inside of Kyle Field before kick-off. How cool is that??
- 11am is the ideal time and will have the most eyes on A&M. ESPN gave us their prime spot and for the most exposure. It's good for the brand and for the team.

Also...We really do ***** about everything on here. Never change TA!

6 got a 2:30 game
8 got a night game

7 gets a freaking NOON game?

Sad but true. A&M actually got the prime time and this was the game the network wanted the most. All others are TNT and compete with NFL games.


That's the reasoning. Buy it if u want....

I actually think it's an advantage. Our stadium will be rocking at 11 AM. Unlike a lot of stadiums. I believe it gives a team extra incentive and support.

maybe Miami will be half a sleep...so there is that...


ultimately, 11 AM since 2 NFL games at night is non starter
