ot fcs championship
- Thread starter inthedeed
- Start date
Michigan. Washington. South Dakota State and Montana will all be playing their 15 game this week. It’s not like they play more. And we are getting a 12 team playoff next year.IMO that’s to many 8 is enough. A 9-3 team absolutely has no business in a playoff for the NC.
A couple of things to look at so that we are comparing apples to apples. SDSU and Montana played 11 regular season games and no conference championship game. I cannot see a day where FBS schools drop from 12 to 11 regular season games, I suppose I could see the CCG going away, but greed is real.
Ah yes, FCS - something I'm quite familiar with.
"Big Sky's Three National Seeds Tops FCS
Led by Montana's No. 2 overall seed, the Big Sky Conference topped all other leagues with three national seeds as Idaho secured the No. 4 seed and Montana State earned the No. 6 slot."
As it turned out the Vandals got a first round bye and I was able to attend the first 2nd round game against S. Ill (which we won) but unable to attend the 2nd game as I was in Omaha. The Vandals lost that game but it was a great season for us!
Even though they're a fellow Big Sky team don't think I can stomach cheering for the Grizz.

Great move by Idaho to drop to FCS. So much more realistic for their situation -- they can now compete for championships.
On another note, there are close to 15 Nebraska kids on the SDSU roster, and I believe two playing for Montana. Really looking forward to this game
2-loss teams shouldn’t be in the mix. There will eventually be 3-loss teams in it, too.
There will be teams that prove this wrong. It’s gonna be fun. Better than bowl games no one cares about
First time a ccg costs a conference to not get a team into the playoffs they'll want to get rid of ccg...doing away with divisions will help that
Correct and Perhaps. But as divisions go away there will be less of a chance of that happening. The odds of a three loss team finishing second in a 16 team league and not being in the top 11 are pretty slim
Chris Walker is a damn good LT who has a legit chance to play in the NFL. Of course, Riley and Frost had him as a reserve defensive lineman
Darn - should have been the Vandals in that game.
Ok, I kid. We're not there yet but it's good to see how the Vandals have turned it around since getting rid of Petrino and family.

Griz have been game today as a 14-point underdog
not sure SDSU even ran 20 plays in the first half

Yes, he's a starter. I never understood why he left Lincoln. Played enough as a freshman to letter and looked good.Any Isaiah Stalbird sightings?
He was a walk on. He’s getting school paid for. Just had a big sack. Almost all of his playing time was special teams.
Okay, now that I'm actually watching the game my negative feelings about montana are flooding back.....not to mention that I had to fly on the grizz airplane on my Moscow to Seattle flight....guess that makes me anyone but montana today. 
There were at least one 3-loss teams in the Top 12 the previous 9 seasons.
Four 3-loss teams in the Top 12 in 2014, 2016 & 2018.
Honestly I respect them for doing their thing and not caving into the pressure of joining a conference.
i remember when notre dame was special. there was a time when they wouldn't play in bowl games due to academics. now, they are little different than any other blue blood, portal, nil and all. i know will howard and his family are more than a little dismayed with how his recruitment went, then not.
