Round 1 Reactions + What Do We Do with the G5?

12/21/2025 • 48 min

Bruce, Stew, and Ralph recap the first round and look ahead to the quarterfinals. Plus, Ralph argues that college football has always been a league of systems and conditions, rather than one based on merit alone. So, do we want a system that gives teams like JMU and Tulane a path to flourish, or do we want to shut them out? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privac… Play episode
