For the FBS or bust crowd.......

[JMB]

Well we'll just have to agree to disagree. Outside of NDSU and one or two other teams over the last couple years there aren't to many that not only can compete now but would have been able to compete back then with the Marshalls, App States and Georgia Southerns to name just a few. If you believe the FCS teams are as good or better than those teams I see no reason to even try to debate with you. NDSU yes but as many or more that are as good? I think not.

I was thinking about this the other day and I originally agreed with you, however one note is the wins by FCS over FBS.. I didn't do any specific analysis, but it seems like that trend is increasing. Heck it used to be an FBS win was almost an instant ticket to the much smaller playoff field (Its what really got us in our first year). That doesn't seem to be the case any longer.
