[El_Chapo]

here we go. Bama vs Cinci
Georgia vs Michigan

The atmosphere at this Bama game at kickoff is insane. wow

[El_Chapo]

Bama 6 straight runs? making a statement

[No_Skill]

Bama may not need to pass.

[El_Chapo]

10 straight runs then a TD pass. my god.God.. this Bama -14 is looking good

[Gully]

big boy or neck roll?

7-3. Bama defense stiffened up

Well if Roehl is getting 6 yards per rush against Montana State, I'd hope he keeps running the ball like Bama is doing.

[bajadanny]

7-3. Bama defense stiffened up

Cinc holds 3 y out for the tide

[bajadanny]

Cinc holds 3 y out for the tide

Cinci holds again time to tie this thing up

oh I'm not ripping on it. I fully expect NDSU to come out like that.


TD BAMA. 17- 3

[Gully]

If I didn't look at the score, I'd think Alabama was up by 24 or 27 at the half.

[El_Chapo]

exactly... well. 17-6 & Cincinnati gets the ball.

I feel if Bama holds them here then the enslaught starts

[El_Chapo]

can Bama run this clock out??

[Kevin]

Bama is the ndsu of the fbs.

[Big Bird]

Fickell and the offensive coaching staff should be embarrassed. Just awful play calling all day and they've been late getting the call in numerous times, putting Ridder and the offense in shitty positions.

That last fourth down call was absolutely beyond moronic. The offensive line hasn't been able to hold up all day and they call a super slow developing play and it gets absolutely blown up before Ridder evens gets a chance to get his eyes to the LOS and beyond.

When there is a talent disparity, like pretty much any team vs Alabama, you have to execute so well in every phase to win. While the secondary and pass rush have come through, the run defense and offensive line have been bad, and the coaching has been atrocious.

I'm not a huge Ridder guy, but he's been put in an impossible position with a shitty gameplan and its going exactly as I feared. Cincy belonged in this game, thanks to their defense, but the in game coaching has held the offense back tremendously.

Dont get any ideas about moving up to P5 or G5. Bama 27-6 vs Cinnci. Georgia vs. Michigan Wolverines, 34-11... The Central Michgan bowl game today vs Wash . St. had pathetic attendance with camera person carrying the lense as low as the ground would allow, this could be a future Bison venue?? Dont mess with success in a SMALL MARKET. Minn. Twins, KC Royals, Brewers are MLB small markets and no celebrations there. Just saying........... be cautious about what you are asking for.........I would support Mountain West Conference with some sort of mid FBS FCS division playoff setup, plus in that conference we get a trip to Hawaii for a conference game every other year! Bowl or no bowl!

Well said overall.

MWC would be a clear win and a step up. Would love to see that. MAC would be a wash at best, with some good and bad until we can move on. And the clusterf@@@ that is CUSA would be a disaster in multiple ways.

We can't compete with Bama and their 200 million budget. Let's go enjoy the hell out of crushing Montana St in Frisco!

Mpls/St. Paul is the 14th largest media market in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_television_markets.

I don't see any G5 team having a realistic chance at a championship with the current arms race for facilities and programs for student-athletes. I wish there was a way to have 3 subdivisions for football where the the top 1/3 of the FCS is paired with the current G5 conferences.

I could see this happening some day, but it won't be the top 1/3 of FCS, there are not 40 FCS teams that are competitive. As it is the FCS playoffs include too many teams, it should be closer to a 16 team bracket.

If there is a break, I would suspect it would be by conference. MVFC and Big Sky invest more and are more competitive than the rest of FCS.

If O player is forced out, then they are eligible upon reestablishing themselves on field tho, correct?

[IndyBison]

If O player is forced out, then they are eligible upon reestablishing themselves on field tho, correct?Correct. Only applies if the receiver goes out on his own. If he's forced out (and the threshold for contact is very low) then he's fine as long as he returns immediately. If he touches it before he establishes then it's just an incomplete pass.

You can tell mostly empty stadium for Fiesta bowl. The stadium announcers voice echos. LOL
Good discussion on college gameday this morning that with all the distractions, social media, pay, NFL, etc. most college players don't care about the bowl games anymore. Interesting they never suggested the only thing to help fix it would be to make all the middling bowls the first games in a 16 team playoff. The smaller bowls can then clean up the scraps for the remaining participation ribbon games.

We only see the game itself but bowl games are multi day events in each market especially the top 15-20 bowls that would be used in a 16 team playoff. And teams in the finals will not travel 4 weeks in a row (5 if you include the conference championship games) if they are neutral site games with or without bowls.

When this eventually happens I expect the early rounds to be hosted like every other level of football. And ultimately the bowls disappear or become must less followed than they are today.

It’s good to see that fans and players are starting to see that bowls are a system that is being forced upon them and it’s all just to make money off their backs. Players don’t get shit and fans pay ridiculous prices for an end season exhibition.

Hopefully people stop showing up and we can have a better system. The problem is the fat cats at the top dont want to share their money grab with anyone. Only way to make it stop is if everyone stops watching and going to the non-playoff bowls.

A top 12 playoff would be epic and if I had to guess would generate more profit than the current set up. Would probably do better than the Elite 8 and up basketball games.

Penn State and Arkansas now for example. North Texas and Akron playing in Montgomery is fun for me. If be fine if they kept it as is. But I also love the idea of a 24-team playoff like FCS. I just don't think both can exist at the same time.

There is less interest in bowls by the NFL caliber players and the transfer portal impacts it some. Ultimately I think that will be a key driver in moving from a bowl system to a playoff system.

So what would be the benefit for NDSU to move up? No Championship playoffs and no lower tier bowl games. But we could say we are REALLY D1 now?

Money and brand exposure, as well as the opportunity to play better teams

Notice how teams that move up never want to move back down, rather vehemently so

Notice how teams that move up never want to move back down, rather vehemently soIt is largely a regular season move. It could become a postseason move depending on how much fans decide to get behind conference championship games or bowl games (if they exist). I give NDSUa fighting chance to be another Boise State, UCF, Houston type program. If and when it's done I see administration going all in to continue the tradition of success. It won't be national championships but there will be success.

Immediately? The goal would be to win the conference in regular season. Then win conference championship game. Hopefully with one or zero losses. This is all the same as what we’re currently doing, but with much more visibility, more excitement and slightly better competition. (Think about gap between MVFC and Big Sky this year)

Long term, thinking ~20 years, the idea is that there is at least a 12 team playoff, and NDSU is in a conference similar in quality to what the AAC or B12 will be in a couple of years. And that NDSU is consistently competing to either make the playoff or play in a NY6 bowl.

Much, much more preferable than sitting in FCS and hoping that schools spending less than 50% of us suddenly wanting to get into an arms race with us so that there’s competition.

lots of D3 fans in bisonville, why don't they just goto cobberville.com ?

[IndyBison]

I have told you many times you should NEVER get your rules knowledge from announcers. They don't know they don't know the rules so they say things that are 100% false but fans don't question it. The impact of the timing of the whistle on the UT/Purdue OT play is a great example. There was just another one if you were watching the Sugar Bowl. Baylor had a play where they were supposed to run but the QB and RB were crossed up the. The QB scrambled and threw a pass downfield for a 9-yard gain. The announcers commended the LT who had gone downfield but realized the play was broken and ran back to the LOS to avoid an ineligible downfield foul. They even highlighted it with an overhead view 2 plays later. They were dead wrong. Once you are downfield you can't save yourself by coming back. That was a big miss by the officiating crew and bad rules knowledge by the broadcasting crew.

One could also make the argument that moving to something beyond than four teams would actually help improve parity, since more would have a shot and recruiting would eventually start to reflect that.

The BCS system was probably better than what they have now, though. A 4-team playoff is a joke and I think expansion is inevitable at this point. If you marry the weight of the SEC with the G5, you might get some leverage. I think we’ll know soon.

CFP blowouts make it less likely it will become a true playoff.

How thankful are you you going to be when a watered down FCS expands to 32 teams?

What's our average margin of victory in the playoffs?

According to a Wikipedia site the average margin of victory, including our losses, the FCS playoffs is just under 20 points with an average score of 32.2 - 12.5

The G5 should have an 8-team playoff system. The 5 conference winners and the best 3 as ranked. the other G5 teams can go to some other BOWL. If a G5 playoffs member gets a better deal because they are in the top 10 with a BIG BOWL that pays better than they can opt opt out of the G5 playoffs and another TOP team can take their place

Didn't hear the podcast yet, was he suggesting NDSU as part of MWC? We'd need a killer OOC schedule to get a bid with the MAC. My guess is the G5 slot will go to either MWC or AAC most years. That assumes they can get past the gridlock and expand to 12, and one of those is a G5 slot. Most of the bids will go to P5 conferences.
---
Just listened to it, he is saying if NDSU were to win the MWC conference and have one loss overall, they would be "in the mix" for the G5 slot.
Totally agree with that. I think this would be a much harder thing from any other G5 conference.

His basic stance was IF NDSU was in the FBS and IF they had a season where they went 13-1(like this year so however many wins in an FBS season and one loss) and IF the playoffs were expanded to 12 teams and IF one of those was for a G5 then NDSU would absolutely be IN THE MIX for that playoff spot.

Yeah, what he said made total sense, though it was partly conditioned on winning the MWC.
MWC, AAC, and maybe occasionally SBC will have a chance. CUSA and MAC teams will get dinged over weak competition.

Most years I'm thinking they will need to be undefeated and beat at least one P5 to get that spot because someone will probably do that. Although it's not as easy as many think it may be. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Bison have a team that could do it. If they seed them 12th and post at the #5 yeah though that will be a tough game. But it sure would be fun to try!

It will come down to rankings of your opponents and results. The G5 slot will likely go to the highest ranked conference champion outside the P5. Most years that will be MWC or AAC. Beating a "P5" like Arizona won't count nearly as much as beating teams like Cincinatti and Houston. If you can schedule and beat a couple ranked SEC or B10 schools that would certainly help though.

Cincinnati Bearcats football
Football Team- a G5 team
Cincinnati Bearcats football
The Cincinnati Bearcats football program represents the University of Cincinnati in college football. They compete at the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision level as members of the American Athletic Conference, and have played their home games in historic Nippert Stadium since 1924. The Bearcats have an all-time record of over.500, having reached their 600th program victory in 2017. The team has had a bit of a resurgence in the past few years, going 129-62 from 2006 through 2020, along with 13 bowl game appearances, 7 conference titles, four BCS/NY6 Bowl berths, and 27 NFL Draft selections.

There was absolutely nothing about the future and it is a completely inaccurate statement. With 12 hypothetical spots, there are zero G5 teams being discussed outside of Cincy.

He said they would have been in the mix because the G5 will have an automatic bid. Which is absolutely wasn't going to a MWC team.

In the mix to me would mean within a spot or two. If SDSU would have won the MWC championship game, having one loss on the year, they still wouldn't have cracked the top 15. Outside of that, I wouldn't consider in the mix.

Cincinatti will be in the B12/P5 soon, and the MWC champion will certainly be "in the mix" in future years for a G5 slot.
Arguably with a weakened AAC, the MWC will now be in the best position to grab that bid.

Of course it was a hypothetical future, NDSU is obviously not in FBS now.
Should an MWC opening happen, I can't imagine NDSU saying no to that opportunity.

Got to volunteer last weekend for the CFP Championship. Fun experience. A few different observations compared to the FCS Championships.

The businesses in Frisco roll out the red carpet especially for Bison fans but there are very few activities planned by the city around the event. Indy had 3 days of events. There was a Fan Central set up in the convention center where you could see a variety of displays and do several different activities. A 3-block street near the convention center was blocked off with vendors, concessions, entertainment, and several selfie spots with CFP 2022 signage. Monument Circle was closed with a large concert stage. Saturday featured AJR and Doja Cat. Sunday was Ava Max and Twenty One Pilots. Monday afternoon went country with Breland and Sam Hunt. I had never heard of any of them but they are very popular artists. Mercedes and Dodge had very cool displays set up. Huge CFP 2022 display set up for photos. They also hired some group who does acrobatic dancing on the side of tall buildings. They were tethered to a 50-story building on the circle. Crazy!! All of this was free.

Each school was hosting multiple alumni events throughout the weekend just like Frisco. Many companies were also hosting events for clients. ESPN had a hospitality space reserved all weekend for VIPs and their talent. Both events have activities and appearances by the teams during the week. The teachers of the year from every state was invited for the weekend and held the flag for the national anthem. They each received 2 free tickets to the game.

Especially downtown but all over the city hotel rates were jacked up. Reports of Motel 6 at $250/night and downtown hotels at $500-$1000/night.

Face value for the worst tickets was $495. Resale for good tickets was up to $3k. The crowd was about 65/35 in favor of Georgia. The general consensus was Alabama has been to several of these and due to weather they decided they could skip this one. Sound familiar?

Speaking of weather, Indy is usually 30s and 40s in the winter but teens or 60s are equally possible. Saturday it was in the 30s but rained with ice just as the concerts were starting. It warmed up to 40 as the evening continued and the rain was light off and on. Temps dropped all day Sunday and were in the upper 20s during the Sunday concerts. Monday afternoon was sunny but low to mid 20s. Wind was off and on. Many fans complained about weather and wondered how we tolerated it. I laughed because it was still 25-30 degrees warmer than Fargo. They really didn't know what cold was. But it was definitely cold. Many embodied something we all know... there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad choice of clothing. A hoody and jeans with no hat or gloves would be a bad choice of clothing.

I had a great time talking football with great fans! Every time I mentioned NDSU they were aware they had won the FCS Championship and many knew 9 of 11. The Alabama marching band was watching the game on the bus while traveling to Indy.

Overall the environment difference between the two was significant and much wider than the difference in the quality of play. If you ever get a chance I would recommend being in the city for such an event even if you don't have a ticket to the game.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220115/d081202a6b5f3ff91776084bef83baae.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220115/1ed5920de04200c7e92cab02d9d1dad1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220115/f97abeaa27d8b5f49d6a8673a63f610f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220115/d1e3c240808279a4ff1754249163ba8b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220115/c99d60f77f004de64e8599c91f573633.jpg
