Read that the TV networks did not want the best of the college playoff games overlapping with NFL games, hurting each other, which is why A&M vs Miami is the early game. And the trash boring college playoff game with a G5 team is the later game at same time as NFL.

BTW, Miami played @ SMU in an 11 am game and lost.

From ESPN……

"They can win if...: Mike Elko's pass defense is one of the best in the country, allowing 182.8 points per game"

I can't see the Canes losing if they get 183 points thru the air. That puts a heavy burden on the offense.

Typical pot banger.

We're 17-3 in early games since 2020.

Don't care what we did before this team got here.
S Carolina is an example (context) of one of those wins!

Saw something about expecting ours to be the highest rated Playoff Game since we won't be against any NFL playoff games.

I suppose that makes sense.

ABC/ESPN selected our home playoff game for 11:00 AM to avoid competing with 2 NFL games.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders: 4:00 PM on Fox
Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears: 7:20 PM on Fox

NFL Scores - Regular Season Week 16, 2025 - ESPN

TNT/HBO Max is airing that day's other two playoff games that feature one Group of 5 team each.

This.

Goodness TNT has got to be pissed! Both of their games have 2-3 score spreads and going against the NFL on Over The Air broadcast.

I'll still watch blowout CFB over NFL games any day.

People saying Gameday is a curse. Maybe playing good teams is a curse? Is there really any difference in record when playing top 15 teams when gameday is there vs not? Too lazy to look it up
