Sucks for the players knowing they’re risking injury and have little to no chance of upsetting the likes of Auburn, ‘Bama or State Penn. Turns into a vicious cycle every year knowing you’re likely going into conference play at 1-3 and hoping you stay healthy and don’t blow through 3 QBs before you get there.

That is a fan perspective. The players absolutely 100% want to play against Auburn, Alabama, and Penn State. A chance to play the best and beat the best.

Players do not want to play cupcake city

I bet you those Kent St players absolutely 100% don’t want to play against Auburn, Alabama, and Penn State all in the same season. You’re talking Kent St here. As olddawg pointed out, 3 winning seasons in last 41. One of the worst programs in G5.. The players don’t want to play for a team with a losing record season after season after season after season after season. When you are a cupcake, you have to face other cupcakes to have a chance. I’m bet they would rather not play 3 powerhouse teams OOC in 1 season, but more like 1-2, with 2-3 lesser teams that they have a chance against. If you were talking a decent G5 program, that would be a different story.
