Would you really watch gameday for your dynasty when you could be playing instead?

Real college football is a tremendous spectator sport and as such there are more spectator-related things you can do with it that are interesting. The NCAA series is a video game. Video games are fun to play, not spectate!
Yes I would watch any kind of added presentation b/c I think it adds to the immersion factor. As an example, CHOOPS got this right with selection Sunday, Coaching Carousel, and weekly highlights. EA will hopefully add something to the game so you forget it's just a video game, that you're mindlessly punching buttons through all the screens to get back to another mundane game against the CPU who calls the same stupid plays every time on offense. Those are separate issues, but my point is this series could gain some depth by doing more with the actual game than they have in years past. It's my estimation that we WILL see some sort of pregame entrance, and hopefully a postgame (bowl) celebration.
