NIL/portal has lessened my interest in college football in general but my lack of enthusiasm for this season mostly revolves around Morris. The lack of a defense kills my confidence in a good season (and then anyone worth a damn will get plucked by a p4).
That's where the rankings will come under fire. When 8-4 Washington beats out 10-2 Clemson for the at-large playoff spot (because they lost to four Big10 teams vs two ACC teams) then pitchforks will come out.
Except that early in the season, you can play younger players in a game that you should be able to win anyway. Also, it is a chance to get game time for players that did not go through Spring. It is also a home game, and after MANY years of only 4 home games, I'll take the FCS opponent and a win.
There are reasons for us to do it just like there are reasons for Alabama to play someone like us.
