Yes, I am all for being creative in terms of legal utility maximization. If someone says they are getting just about the same number of games they used to on cable or Direct TV by say subscribing to Youtube TV and ESPN+ and for half the price, then I want to know about that.

But I have no use for and don't care to hear about accessing unauthorized game feeds online. I'm an adult with actual assets, and it's not worth the risk of being given some kind of Digital Millennium Copyright violation summons because I wanted to save a few bucks and not pay for a football game I'm supposed to pay for.

I pay less than half for YouTube tv here in Ohio. No ESPN+, but I have no desire to get it.

I get...
ESPN
ESPN2
ESPNU
BTN
SECN
ACCN
FS1
FS2
ESPN NEWS
FOX OHIO
FOX OHIO PLUS
NBCSN
NBA TV
MLB TV
MLB ALTERNATIVE
CBSSN
GOLF CHANNEL
OLYMPIC CHANNEL
TENNIS CHANNEL

I don't need anything more than that and I see every game I could possibly want to see.

I know Youtube TV has a great lineup of sports channels. I would get it if I was single.

Granted, on Saturday, you don't feel the loss so much because there are good games on major OTA networks all day long. You can watch Ole Miss/ Memphis at 12 noon (EST), Alabama/Duke or Northwestern/Stanford at 3 PM, and then Auburn/Georgia in the evening all OTA.

But just considering Thursday, Friday, and Monday, IMO that is a lot of good football to miss.

So...you think cord cutting means you pay zero $?

I mean there is OTA , but truly cord cutting refers to cutting your cable/satellite contract cord.

You're reaching on a few here

The Clemson game has a 33 point spread.
Rice and Army? You can't be serious
Tulsa and Michigan St? Who's missing out on that?
Northern Iowa and Iowa St? Since when is FCS vs FBS must see TV?

Week 1 doesn't have a lot of great Pay TV matchup if you ask me.

OK, but I didn't say these games were Texas vs Oklahoma. But IMO they are games I would want to have available to me to see.

Yeah, but you can only watch 1 game at a time. If you’re really interested in Rice vs Army, you may flip the channel during timeouts, commercial breaks, and halftime. And that’s only if another game is not doing the same. So you’re watching a few minutes of all these games. How much are you really missing out on?

Hell to the no! In my living room, I have a 62" TV for the "main" game, but then I have a 32" monitor to one side, a 19" monitor closer to me, a 14" tablet closer still, and in extremis I can watch on another 9" monitor too.

On a college football Saturday, I always have at least 3 games going at once, often 4, sometimes 5. Thanks to cable.

I have a 75" above the fireplace for Texas Tech games and a 40" 1 foot away for other Big 12/P5 games in our living room.

I have Dish and it is called picture on picture. I pay more, but, with cfb, it is worth it.

I know its cool to dump on Game Day and its cast of talking heads, but i love it. The whole vibe of it sets the table for that day's football.

Radical cord cutting = you don’t pay for anything, be it cable or streaming services. Only OTA and whatever free streams are available.

I use Sling TV. When it comes to football season, I add $10 to my subscription for the sports extra package (adds in ESPN U, SECN/SECN+, PAC12N and some others). I also bought an antenna for OTA. Total per month: $55. Plus, I have Hulu through my spotify account, so any live TV they provide as well.

I can't say I get every game you could possibly want. I do get all the games I'd be interested in watching, other than App. The only time I might miss a game is when it's broadcasted on a random school-specific network for the game.

That's awesome. I am by no means against cord-cutting. As I've said, if i was single and didn't have females in my house who want to watch a lot of things other than just football and basketball, I would almost surely cut my cable cord and get Sling or Youtube or something like that.

I pay $190 a month for cable (which includes my internet service) and the college football relevant stuff I get:

ESPN/2/U/News/classic/SECN/SECN2
FS1/FS2/several FS regional channels
NFL
BeIn
CBSSN
NBCSN

I also pay $5 a month for ESPN+.

I envy greatly you guys who basically get the same stuff I get for 1/3 of the price.

Yeah that's why I said bye to Ditectv 7 years ago. Was paying over $200 a month. Ironically I have more content now for a 1/5 of the price.

I did that because MWC had made a post about what was available for free this week, and paid streaming isn't free.

Hey, if that's not of interest to you, great.

I have a very similar set-up here in Southern California. My wife does not watch football and basketball. I actually pay more for my four TV's. We get in addition to your services:

PAC-12 Arizona
PAC-12 Bay Area
PAC-12 Los Angeles
PAC-12 Mountain
PAC-12 Oregon
PAC-12 Washington
Spectrum SportsNet
Spectrum SportsNet LA

Spectrum SportsNet LA is the Dodger channel, the only way to watch a Dodger game. Spectrum SportsNet is basically the Lakers channel, with LA Galaxy, LA Sparks and WCC Basketball games as well. I am getting ESPN+ through my subscription to ESPN the Magazine.

I think it might be cool to track this throughout the season vs. what the cheapest add-on to cord cutting would be to get the best bang for your buck. Not necessarily in terms of most number of games, but in terms of where the best games ended up.

e.g. "By week 3 if you had ESPN+ you would have been able to catch and additional X number of games that weren't blowouts and were between two fun to watch teams"

Or the reverse of "you would have only missed Y number of games if you included YouTubeTV"

And then use that as an analysis to people considering upping their package/access for next season. Won't be perfect, but I'm sure most people who want to watch as much college football as possible would appreciate the extra analysis.
