A new and better FBS thread

Idk bros Samantha Houston is looking pretty fbs right now

That could be us losing to TAMU by 7.

Well, this didn't age well. 31-0 Final.

They faked a weather delay to catch their breath bro.

Jumbo is a cheater.

if NDSU is in MWC and they are the 6th ranked conference and NDSU is the MWC champion. then they are IN

easily

If….if….if….ya but….ya but…..

MWC don’t need NDSU. Find the path in CUSA that’s what we got right now

enjoy the CUSA.

if the CUSA is all NDSU can do. than so be it

but like I said repeatedly.

you call up MWC. have a private meeting w Craig Thompson & select presidents and say

"we will take less & we will do whatever it takes, just get us in"

In this scenario what kind of non conference wins do you see us having to be the top G5 team while playing a CUSA schedule?

I don’t get it.

Is NDSU so good they still couldn’t schedule good teams with an FBS monicker attached, but still so obvi “not good” that they would be denied playoffs because of it?

When has this happened? Teams with a “suck” schedule that go undefeated (very rare actually happens) have such an obvi intended suck schedule and don’t dominate that I recall.

NDSU dominance runs through years of good schedule (well “overmatched” FBS opponents) and dominating suck schedule to the point…

Well they usually get invited to playoffs at this level anyway…

This negative logic is broken. ALWAYS has been.

The problem is the deck is VERY stacked against all FBS G5 teams.
It is likely only one G5 team will get a bid 8 or 9 out of 10 years.

It's further stacked against lower G5 conferences.
The SOS of playing 8 weak teams from a conference like CUSA is what would tank playoff hopes.

Join the MWC and the odds are quite good. i think they get that bid at least 3-5 out of 10 years.
AAC and SBC will get that bid most years that the MWC does not.

It's simply the way the system is designed now.
You will need a LOT of "high quality" wins to get the bid, and OOC won't be enough.

F it. How much money is this magic conference really going to provide that couldn’t be captured independently? I really question that.

Current conference media deal: $0. Now that is shrewd…. I pay ESPN $10 a month during the season. NDSU gets $0 for their contribution in return for??? Distribution? ESPN was a thing I guess.. times have changed.

INDEPENDANT. F It. Games on YouTube or something. It’s like TEXAS submitting to a big 12 media deal when they capture 50% of the revenue (not sure but whatever %) and sharing it with everyone..

I don’t care how “small timey” people THINK NDSU is. They are not. They are the story.

NDSU should make their OWN media deal, and they will DWARF what liberty brings with online moneys if they can INDEPENDENTLY schedule whoever they want. And win. Just keep winning, until people are watching to see when they loose. If they ever loose.

Because everyone is tired of seeing them with 80% of games by 50.

Schedule those drunk irish Catholic midgets under a 10% media share deal. And beat them.

Lots of people would tune in for that one. Because I am not the ONLY person that wants to have the lady exposed EVERY YEAR.

Could be by this team that is “really good, at the FCS level…”.

Havent we seen enough to know that is complete bullshit?

At some point, it is that simple. The money WILL come. Bring on the competition, and quit running things by committee.

That is grand forks style. Leaders inaction.

NDSU…. Action. Enough talking like the Sioux sports board. At least their fans consistently believe they could do it. This “realism” is on the verge of fantasy after all of the obvious ass this program kicks on the field.

It’s statistically unfathomable if you THINK about it. Since 1965…. They only win the championship of their level 33% of the time…. Over ~70 years??? Think about that. Took what, 4 years off playoff eligibility in there for d1 transition?

And I think they will maintain a similar clip at the highest level once the Bison get their hooves under them.

And if you think I am being unrealistic…. I have a LOT of stats that say otherwise.

Use YOUR brains.
