The FCS Championship game between undefeated South Dakota State and Montana, which is set to take place in Frisco, has sparked debate over its scheduling against six NFL games on a Sunday. Critics, including ESPN, suggest that the NCAA could have opted for a Saturday slot before an NFL doubleheader on ABC or a Monday afternoon slot before the CFP Final to maximize viewership. The matchup is eagerly anticipated, with a simulated game raising expectations for an exciting contest. Defending champion South Dakota State is favored to win by 13.5 points according to @DKSportsbook. The championship will be broadcast live on ABC at 1pm Central Time.

I hate the fact that someone decided to schedule the FCS National Championship Game on an NFL Sunday. Could have played it yesterday at noon and had a much bigger audience.
If youโre enjoying Montana v. South Dakota State in the FCS Championship, then youโre gonna love Montana v. South Dakota State in the 2028 Pac-12 Championship.

In anticipation of the FCS Championship, one of our members (/u/chocotaco15) simulated the game between Montana and South Dakota State in NCAA Football 06. We'll be so lucky if the game is this good! https://t.co/h9ZmDaSoUM

The NCAA/ESPN could put the FCS Championship on: โข Saturday morning, where Football is meant to be played โข Monday afternoon, as an opener before the CFP Final And it would get a ton of viewers. They choose to put it head-to-head against 6 NFL games on Sunday. ๐คท https://t.co/mV8yZ1P1lj
I begging the NCAA to put the FCS championship on Saturday on ABC before their NFL doubleheader on a Saturday as opposed to the last regular season NFL Sunday of the year. https://t.co/FvhXwGc5UE
