Wouldn't you rather be in the FCs playoffs with a shot at a national title than play in this low tier bowl game that will probably get very low ratings?

Sure but you need to move the opening round of the playoffs off Bayou Classic weekend

The Celebration Bowl Ratings and attendance was better than ANY playoff game last year. So would we rather play on ESPN3 with awful ratings in a stadium with 6,000 people or play on ABC, with Sports Center doing a live show on location, exposure for our schools, in a bowl atmosphere in Atlanta with 35,000+ people? Not to mention the Bowl payout compared to losing money in the playoffs. Hmmmmm you tell me.

Is Grambling really a 15.5 favorite? I can see NCCU winning this.

Let's be honest, I seriously doubt that the people who've set this line have watched Grambling or NCCU play this season.

We were also 13.5 point dogs to A&T. Our schedule is weak this year and Grambling has been dominant against SWAC teams (except Alcorn), so all the 'analytics' say they should win convincingly. Oh well. . . we'll see.

I guess. If Grambling plays the way that they played against Alcorn this game will be over at the half.

Those odds were made before we lost our starting QB and forgot how to complete a forward pass.
