I Would Have Reversed the Outcomes of Season 1 and 3
While I love season 1, I think the outcome feels a bit like the forced sports movie conclusion and it doesn't seem quite realistic that that team would be able to finish the job with all the adversity they had. They could have come from behind and come up just short like the season 3 team. Then imagine if Saracen comes in after JD's interceptions and actually wins. That would have been amazingly cathartic if they'd lost in Season 1.
I know the real reason is that they didn't know how many seasons they'd have so they had them win the first year.
