    They called so many times I had to get an unlisted number.

    This is the money quote. Nobody is afraid of "the fcs". They should and do fear losing to NDSU right now, but when they ban FCS games it isn't because of anything other than perception of SOS.

    Also I was pretty sure BCS refers to teams in AQ conferences, not just teams who could potentially make a BCS game which is of course all FBS teams.

    FYI no conference has banned games against FCS

    Nebraska barely beats McNeese State, and afterwards Pelini is like "we're not playing FCS teams anymore." Does he realize the reason isn't because they almost lost to McNeese, it's because of supposed strength of schedule purposes? Wrong time to bring that up man. It's make it sound like you don't want to play them because you might lose to them.

    This week Central Michigan beat Purdue and Northern Illinois beat Northwestern. Ohio State and Michigan State lose their OOC games, and Michigan doesn't score at all against Notre Dame.

    There is something way worse going on the Big Ten right now than scheduling FCS teams. The leadership is way off base to cancel those guarantee games. The issue isn't who they're playing, it's how bad the Big Ten teams are. Improve the teams in the conference and it won't matter who you play. For crying out loud, quite embarrassing yourselves. You won't even make the playoff this year.

    Mike and Mike talked about this today. B1G fans, here is reality: If you have a 1 loss champ, you have not shot at the playoff. Even an undefeated champ may only be 50-50.

    Although I don't think that the B10 is very good, what this really tells me is that the 4 team "playoff" though a slight improvement, is still a pile of trash
