A new and better FBS thread

The Marshall Thundering Herd beat Notre Dame today. Yes, Marshall. It wasn't too many years ago they were FCS, and after they moved up they were even in CUSA.

Notre Dame very over-rated as usual eh

Marshall joined the MAC when they moved up, 25 years ago.
When they joined CUSA in 2005, it had UCF, Houston, Memphis, USM, ECU, SMU, Tulsa and Tulane.

Almost all those schools are AAC now, none are in CUSA.
The current version of CUSA struggles to beat FCS teams like Bryant and W&M. Completely different.

CUSA might give the MWC a challenge this year. Terrible start for basically the whole MWC. Two FCS ass kickings yesterday and BSU and SDSU losing to bottom feeder PAC12 teams.

Not a chance.
MWC might be having a down year, but CUSA is horrible.
Take away the teams that are leaving, and its downright ugly, even for a FCS conference.

Sun Belt might be a better option soon. wow yesterday!

That I agree with, would love to be in the SBC. Marshall, App St, Louisiana are legit.
But our odds are better with MAC or MWC.

For all of the CUSA haters, just remember that the Sun Belt used to be called the Sun Belch. It was by far the worst of all the FBS conferences before APP and GASO got there and helped turn it around.

If we were able to put together a group of regional schools like the Sun Belt was able to, I have to believe we could attract attention from a better conference than the current CUSA dumpster fire.

Another big part of it also was some of the sucky teams leaving the sunbelt to go to cusa.
The same teams made cusa suck. Sunbelt also kicked out Idaho and NMSU, who cusa just welcomed in.

cusa has now assembled some of the worst teams in all of fbs. It's a huge pit to dig out of.
I think the cfp expansion will only make things worse for them, as the gap with other conferences will grow.

Now if we could kick all the sucky teams out (almost all of them), you might have something.
The teams there now would be maybe the 4th or 5th best FCS conference.
