Unless you get up at the crack of dawn on Sunday, it's near impossible to get a summary/review of Saturday's college football games. B1G Network does a good job with B1G games, but ESPN is all Fantasy Football and NFL pre-game. Do they even have a College Football Re-Cap show (I believe they used to) anymore?

Dude, use your iPad, it’s flush with info. And try living in Philly worst college football town ever

I want to see like an eight minute segment recapping Top 25 action by conference on my 65” while having coffee. Not ten minutes on TE picks for Fantasy Football today.

And try being a Steeler fan in NoVA and having to watch the Ravens every week.

Saturday is mostly all day and night minor league coverage.
Sunday is for big boy football.

To seriously answer your question, what you are talking about is’College Football Final’ on ESPN. This is where Lou Holtz used to give homer helmet stickers to Notre Dame each week and Mark May would say we suck.

They still air it. It just doesn’t repeat when it used to in the AM. Just DVR it or catch it when it does replay.

I just looked… it airs all Sunday morning on ESPNU and runs in espn2 at least once too (8am)

College football is going the way of NFL minor leagues right in front of our eyes.

Yeah, this. I have it set to DVR every week so can watch anytime. I would like something better the gameday final, but at least you get a quick summary of the big games. And it's better than the Lou Holtz/Mark May days. Those guys sucked. I actually kind of like Galloway.

Tv coverage is all about the bettors. That’s where the ratings come from. They want their early morning adrenaline rush.

Not sure about TV coverage, but the information on sports betting podcasts and radio shows is 10 times bettor than the fluff BS you get on network pregame shows. Tune in to VSIN (Vegas sport and info network) on Iheartradio on Sunday morning or during the week and get actual interesting information.

It’s getting harder and harder these days to find game highlight packages like this. Everything is either a collection of 30second clips separated by ads that you have to click into individually or a whole 10 minute video that’s way too much.

I definitely agree with the basic point that there seems to be a potential market for college football highlights Sunday morning as opposed to just more NFL discussion. IT sounds like College Football Final is around as mentioned so that's something, wonder is FOX has anything similar on their cable sports channels.

I know I mostly don't get to stay up to watch all of the "after dark" games and it would be good to have a summary of all the Saturday action in one show.
