JMU vs Oregon Playoff game

[Cajuncane]

Oregons backups could beat this team by 50….

 

[Stingarov]

12 yard gain lowers their average yards per play hilariously.

 

[DTP]

Why are G5 teams in the playoffs?

 

[OldhamA]

LOL the Oregon WR just got chokeslamed.

 

[RBradleigh]

Texas at Oregon and Vandy at Ole Miss (for example) would've been much better matchups

But at the same time I don’t need 6? teams from one dang conference

Makes sense since Oregon's backups are mostly 4 stars and JMU's starters are 2 stars and low-3 stars.

The G5 inclusion in the NIL era doesn't work when we've got P2 schools making 10 or 20 times more money in media rights and ticket revenue.

A 24- or 32-team bracket, maybe one G5 school.

But it's pointless in a 12- or 16-team field

I would have went with Notre Dame and BYU over Texas and Vandy.

 

[OldhamA]

I don't think he has a very good arm.

I quite like this JMU QB though. Seems accurate and looks after the ball. He's just playing with scrubs.

Because every now and then one of them makes noise in the NCAAM tourney

We ran the experiment and realized it was a failure. No more G5 unless they’re ranked in the Top 12 (or 16 if they expand as expected).

 

[OldhamA]

Oregon icing the kicker up 31 points at half time.

I hope a key player tears his ACL.

 

[Canes Legacy]

The only reason I’m watching this game is because I want to see the halftime commentary around our game

 

[Ispyin]

Absolutely a death knell to the G5 participation trophy that is the auto bids.

except its in the contract through 2030 or so, so we shall see

 

[Caned Peach]

Share some money w/ these smaller programs but keep them out of the playoffs. More deserving teams missed out so they could be sacrificial lambs.

 

[Canestomp]

So Duke gets in as a result of Jim Phillips' ***-backwards ACC tiebreaker?

Uppercase Duke would have kept this thing respectable, unlike this lowercase duke team. Oregon is sus and got off easy. They will get their bootyhole plunged by TTech.

No G5 ever. Let them have their own playoff. They aren’t in the same stratosphere.

Ehhhh basketball is different

the difference between the haves and the have nots in football is huge… it’s showing when you don’t have the dudes in the trenches. Yes the flashy speed weapons have been nice but they’ve been destroying these G5 teams at the point of attacks enabling to do what they when they want

I believe this is their actual absurd thinking, and it shows a total misunderstanding of football. Different sport with a different number of players on the field and where a couple weak links disproportionately impact a single play. Over the course of a quarter, or even a game, it’s just not realistic.

 

[Hold My Beer]

James Madison vs. Montana State and Tulane vs. Illinois State would've been much more equitable matchups.

The top of FCS is much closer to the top of G5 than the G5 is to playoff-caliber teams from power conferences
