Should the third or fourth place team in a conference have that argument? I don't think so. Win your conference, go to the playoff. It's really quite simple.

Actually it can be taken seriously because that's how it works in every other level of football. As I posted, D3 has 40 teams with 27 autobids. Every conference champion gets in at ever other level, with the exception of the Ivy, MEAC and SWAC at the FCS level, but those are special cases...

Edina starts tackle in fourth grade. I can't speak to Moorhead.

The D3 playoffs have 40 teams with 27 AQ's. The D2 playoffs have 32 teams with 16 AQ's. It can be done, and it is done at other levels.

Are they FBS football programs? Yes or no?

And in the case of West, not even high school hockey since he's leaving school after this game.

Good lord. Nobody can play defense in this game.

He's just horrible.

This has been a really good game.

The problem is, those buy games fund a lot of the athletic department.

I don't like 12 because I don't like there being byes in the tournament.

But if someone loses in a fluke to Sam Houston or something, then they probably didn't deserve to win the playoff anyway.

And the stupid thing about that is that idiots like Finebaum would tell you that ASU didn't belong and that some fourth place SEC team deserved it more, despite ASU being a very good team who absolutely belonged.

It's more that winning your conference should provide a path to play for a national championship, because that's literally how it works for FCS, D2, D3 and NAIA. And pretty much every sport for that matter. There will always be weaker conferences/divisions in any given season. And it's not...

You're basically saying that you care more about TV ratings and your own idea of what is entertaining than having a level playing field for all the teams at the same level. I would argue that one single upset of say a MWC team beating a SEC team would bring far more attention to the game than...

That's comparing apples to oranges. There are different levels for a reason. We don't let Winona State into the D1 March Madness, because they are not a D1 school. They have their own tournament to play for the championship. There is no official split between P5 and G5 conferences (or P4/G6...

I don't know that Moos goal was to crush football, but I do suspect there were finite funds available to the U, and athletics suffered to fund other priorities. Which is a completely different line of thought, for better or worse.

He was ranked 12th 8-4 and won national coach of the year in 1984. The next year he kicked the slush fund players off, and self reported the violations which crushed the team with probation for the next three years. Now we can debate whether he should have done that or was he just too honest a...

I can understand why they hired Wacker. He was successful everywhere he'd been except TCU. He was squeaky clean, coming off Holtz' recruiting violations a few years earlier, and the U generally being extremely risk averse.
