Do you still watch P5 football?
I used to watch every game I could. Now, I only watch AAC games. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

There's an Ok State-WVU game on right now that's close in the 3rd quarter. That's a game I used to watch. Now I don't care ... at all.

And if they start paying $10K per year per player, I won't even watch their January bowls. The more the P5 separates itself from the pack, the fewer fans they'll have.

I watch SEC games. Love the tradition, history, and great fan support. Would watch the B1G but they are a bunch of yankees

RE: Do you still watch P5 football?
Not as much as I used to. Generally if a G5 is playing a P5 then I'll watch. Otherwise, unless there is an upset brewing or it is an exciting matchup/rivalry game, I could care less.

I'm much more interested in conference games.

I watch every AAC game I can. B12/PAC12 if there's nothing else going on. Those late night PAC12 games get me sometimes.

RE: Do you still watch P5 football?
I'll watch Ole Miss @ LSU tonight, and watched Alabama @ Ole Miss a couple weeks back. And, no, I'm not a Mississippi fan. I was lucky enough last year to tune into the last 5 minutes of the Alabama-Auburn game. It's just good football.

That's about it for me this year.

I agree, who would want to watch a P5 game while SMU-Memphis is on.

Right now I am watching the UCF Temple game. Prior to that, I had the Marshall game on television. I watched a little of the SMU Memphis game and that is it so far. I have last nights Cincy game on DVR, I periodically watch a little of it a second time.

i could actually go to see a top 5 team where i live pretty much for free and have been to one game in 2 years.

no fricks given anymore.

Absolutely. Love SEC football, and ive always been a Clemson fan so I watch a good deal of ACC games too. Couldn't care less about Big10, Big12, or Pac12

This just in .... the Civil War ended 149 years ago.

I wouldn't watch the B1G either. Its just not very interesting.

RE: Do you still watch P5 football?
Saturday Routine:
I get up, eat breakfast, prepare snacks, take a shower and get on my USF garb and watch the pre-shows starting at 11... Then I set my tv to Two games that are most interesting from 12-3sih, then find two more for the 4-7 slot, then two more for the 7-10 slot and I tend to wrap up watching the last games about 1 am. I usually dont watch less then 8 games... I dont miss a USF game nor a Notre Dame game...EVER.

My order of selection is USF or Notre Dame first, AAC second, Any team I hate and want to lose third, fourth is any G5 team vs a P5, and then whatever is on. I secretly root for Charlotte, Umass, and Georgia Southern... and I not so secretly root against Pitt, Cuse, FSU, Miami, the Entire SEC, and Boise St.... and recently Marshall.

I also watch if there is a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday game.

RE: Do you still watch P5 football?
The Comcast tier I pay for doesn't offer much college football that covers G5 games. I refuse to pay extra just to get those games. I get the network stations, ESPN 1 & 2 and FS1 (didn't even know I got that until recently). Unfortunately I don't ESPNNews and the other ESPN offerings and the other new cable stations offered on higher tiers.

As a results, I watch some P5 (of personal interest) and as much G5 as possible with what I have.

Not as much as the P5 thinks...I watch American and anything that may relate to the American...watching USCe/Auburn now.

Could care less about games like BC-Wake or Cuse-Clemson. There is nothing there really worth watching. Could care less about the ACC unless its a team that has played an American squad.

RE: Do you still watch P5 football?
Not really. I actually was skimming through the games today and decided to watch Southern Miss take on some Louisiana team. Always kinda liked USM. I liked their colors, their program, and especially because they gave us Favre.

None of the C5 games seem all that interesting. If its an ACC game that isnt WF, Clemson, or FSU I might peek in, as I still have interest in BC, UM, UL, SU, and Pitt.

The Big Ten is literally the most boring football Ive ever seen. Ever. Cant stand it. The Big Twelve is... Mehh. If its OU vs Texas I might peek in. I have no idea why UC fans want to be in that league (I still cling to the fallacy of regional college football. Id rather be in the AAC than the Big 12, but the ACC with WVU would be a dream come true, SO MANY RIVALRIES!!!! Emphasis on dream, our fans will keep us out of the ACC IMO). Pac 12 and SEC are boring as well.

I think the destruction of many traditional rivalries has really put me off from CFB as a whole.

RE: Do you still watch P5 football?
Not as much the past several years....I've even cut down on watching Iowa games a bit....from 81 to mid 2000's I watched EVERY single down of every single hawkeye game. This cartel 5 garbage and the creation of the bcs before has decreased my interest in college football. Watching what's happened to ECU because of this big business cartel crap has caused me to support ECU now more than Iowa in certain ways.....that's amazing.
