Then it's completely subjective. It should be about earning it as a team through a whole season. I want deserving teams in far more than hypothetical good games for TV purposes. The NFL wouldn't cut the Chiefs from the playoffs if Mahomes was injured, or Buffalo if Josh Allen breaks his leg...

I agree with this as a fair compromise. I don't love it, because that's not how literally any other sport would work, but it's better than the top 25 thing, because it's a firm number, and can't be gamed.

Then they need to formally split. This is 100% the way it should be done with the current conferences.

You can't base a ranking on a player being out. Literally no other sport would determine a playoff spot or seeding on something like that.

That's SEC logic. Or lack thereof. And the G5 is not a different level. They are FBS, which is why I keep saying that their conference champs should all get autobids.

Shad Khan could bankroll a team too for Illinois.

Boise, ASU and Indiana were all really, really good football teams this season.

And all nine conference champs get an autobid, but not an automatic seed.

I always had a HUGE issue with the polls, because the Big Ten was at a disadvantage when the number of bowls expanded. Being locked into the Rose Bowl against a Pac 10 team meant they would basically never play for a hypothetical poll championship and I believe that affected the polls. From...

Ben is not a head coach. Period. This is very similar to the Brewster era in football.

All the more reason to have all conference champs get auto bids. It means much of the field isn't determined by non-objective humans.

SEC - it just means...oh wait, you mean a team from Ohio and a team from Indiana AREN'T in the SEC - never mind.

FFS, if they have EIGHT quarterbacks, the vast majority were never going to play anyway. Maybe transfer to Crown or Martin Luther or some other UMAC school if you want to get on the field.

I said five years. I think it's ahead of schedule.

I would too. And there were a lot of random locals at the Quick Lane last year. Mostly Michigan and MSU fans.

To be fair, I believe they did invest in a new indoor practice facility. They also remodeled their basketball arena, but from what I've heard from friends up there, they didn't do a very good job - kind of did it on the cheap. Here's the thing about the Fargodome. NDSU doesn't own it. Doesn't...

Cue Tommyboy to go on a rant in 3...2...1...

I don't make fun of the quality of the product. It's quite good. I make fun of delusional Bison fans, of which I know many.

I get into that on occasion with old North Stars fans that don't understand that Met Center - a one level, 15,000 seat arena with no amenities was more or less functionally obsolete as a major sports venue when it was torn down.

There are quite literally Bison fans I've encountered that do not realize they are not winning the championship of the highest level of college football. Most do realize this, but those people absolutely do exist. There are also more than a few Bison fans who really do believe their team should...
