Don't watch as much, but that has nothing to do with the playoff.

Yeah, same here. I never paid much attention to P5 games even before this year. I paid attention to who ODU played and conference mates.

I've always been the type of person that will watch ANY level of football as I just love the sport.

I no longer watch P5. And I ignore ESPN as much as possible.

I hate ESPN and rarely watch. I watch a lot of CBSSPORTS and FOX1 for most of my football games.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Hard to care about anything but G5 and the top 5-10 that are going to actually have a chance at the playoff.

An larger playoff needs to be here in order for college football to have the mass appeal it used to.

I'll tell you one thing I have noticed though: A lot of empty seats at P5 schools. The playoff is going to completely change how the mid-lower level P5 schools view themselves.

Haha....no kidding.

I tend to follow and watch more G5 games because basically all of us are in a playoff with each other. On top of that, I hate what the P5 is doing to college football and I enjoy watching them lose to us midgets.

I watch about any game that's on; interest in game depends on different factors. I prefer my analysis from FOX or CBS Sports. Although they're still only going to talk about the contract conferences they at least seem to stay away from only talking about 8 or 9 of those schools like ESPN.

Yes, I automatically default my tv to ANY g5 games (or if a G5 is beating up on a P5 school - damn you UTSA, I was ENJOYING that UTSA-Arizona game til you intercept-bungled it!) I'll flip back over to a P5 vs. P5 game if I'm in commercial, but I'm almost always flipping back to the G5 games.

I've watched exactly part of one B10 game this year.. (that Nebraska game they should have lost to McNeese State!)

Me, too, but I find myself more and more gravitating toward the Wabash College and Grand Valley State games over Ole Miss and Arkansas.

I don't watch the cartel schools unless they're playing a Great 5 conference team.

I can't sand people that act like if it's not on ESPN then it's not on TV. MANY people in our fanbase are like that. Drives me insane. Some people are just clueless.
