Totally agree with you that the appeal of playing there is winning. I also think if they went to the Mountain West, MAC, etc they would be able to fit right in after a recruiting class or two. Again, do I think they would make a dent in the national scene? Absolutely not. Do I think they would...

I'd argue that the fact they are in the NFL means they are good and good film against FCS competition only gets you to training camp. Once you are at training camp NFL teams don't care where you come from or how you get there... with the exception of a rookie drafted in the first three rounds.

That is very true. I find the Bison program very easy to like. I find their fans very hard to like.... Those two added together makes me luke warm on the Bison - like I said, I am not a Bison lover, but I am not a hater either.

I am not a Bison lover but also not a Bison hater. Question for those of you that laugh at their success as an FCS power. What have they done in the past 15 years that makes you believe if they went FBS they wouldn't be a good team? Not saying a national threat but even on the Gopher level of...

I think I heard (or I am making this up in my head) that the plan is for him to handle the punting duties and potentially the kickoffs and the kicker from Alexandria would be our placekicker ideally.

It is fun watching Minnesota kids and continues to raise the bar for high school football in Minnesota. I watched the game and was entertained. Bryce Lance is a stud, Raja Nelson from LN had a great catch towards the end of the game, and I genuinely cheer for NDSU in most games. Their fans can...

I gave them a B. Credit to PJ that our 8-5 season is considered a "bad year" - the North Carolina and Rutgers losses hurt. In hindsight the win over USC wasn't as impressive as it seemed at the time and we probably should have beaten Michigan. The more I watch PJ he is really two coaches...

A - Did what he had to do to win. Played a lot of players. Had fun. I hate on Fleck at times for his in game coaching and truly think we lose some games because of his conservative approaches to some games, but I am so glad he is our coach. He has built a program where the players seem like...

I have said this for a few years. One way to make college football sports better is to do this: - 5 years of eligibility - No redshirts (Medical Redshirts still allowed) - You can transfer at any semester break and gain immediate eligibility but you have to make a decision of it costing you 1...

I get what you're saying and that makes sense.

Lets say the Gophers had a great year... Fans would need to go to Indianapolis for the conference championship game, then either bye, home game (not free), or an away game, then two more bowl games with airfare.

Your situation makes sense as well... Next year, without making drastic changes: Season ends 11/29 Conference Championship Game 12/6 First round games December 12/13 Quarterfinals December 19/20 Semi Finals Jan 1 Final Jan 12 Cons: - Loser of conference championship game does not get any time...

For what it is worth, and doesn't strengthen my argument, but Ohio State was ranked 8th and may be the current favorite to win it. True, they weren't 9-12... but if in the first year the 8th ranked team wins it would be hard argument to say the #9 team will never win it.

Yeah, it would have been interesting to see how the 4 teams would have played out. I just went to 1-4 in the last poll. I don't think they would have put Georgia/Texas 2 and 3 like I pointed out for a couple of reasons - it would be their third time playing and a repeat of the conference...

I think they setup of the playoffs is good. Arizona State proved they are as good as anyone. Came within a 4th down stop of beating Texas. Reward your conference champs and guess who the next 8 best teams are. Funny thing - in the old 4 team playoffs you would have had Oregon, Texas, Penn...

Once again, Iowa is an embarrassment.

I’m not against a wealthy local guy that supports the U but is a fan of A&M. There probably isn’t a fan base that is more delusional than that base and spends/wastes money on their football team.

I am 40 years old and in my lifetime: (Not counting the Jimmy Williams and Jim Molinari seasons) White - Jim Dutcher 3 years (I was born in the middle of his tenure) Black - Clem Haskins 13 years White - Dan Monson - 8 years Black - Tubby Smith - 6 years White - Richard Pitino - 8 years Black -...

At 7:00 yesterday it was 32 degrees in Knoxville and Columbus was 25.

Isn't the playoffs actually the opposite? In theory with these 12 teams, without playoffs would be 6 bowl games with 6 champions? Now there will only be one champion... the champion will along the way win the Rose Bowl, etc but there will only be one true champion? Indiana, SMU, Clemson and...
