The G6 race is worth protecting
Context
Ty says the group-of-five or G6 playoff race has become something he looks forward to in a new way. The prior season's race created a broader November conversation than the old single-team assumption, and the 2026 preseason version probably starts with Boise State before opening up.
The take adds a positive side to the show's playoff skepticism. Even if the show dislikes where some expansion ideas are headed, the current format gave smaller-conference teams a visible late-season chase that is now part of the sport's appeal and should not be casually designed away.
