    How about and extra game vs Texas A&M Commerce (2017 DivII champion)? FCS winner vs. DivII winner.

    I'm sure you're joking, but the difference is that one has a realistic chance at being a decent game. The other... not so much.

    For posters who keep beating the FBS drum, it is an exercise in futility. In will not happen anytime in the near future. In the meantime:

    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    It's the same logic an Alabama fan reading that would have. they'd assume the person posting it was joking.

    This is the way to go... take the 6 ND-SD-MT schools add in in eastern Washington and a couple of the IL schools and move up. then schedule in 3-4 other OOC FBS games and fight for the conference title and winner goes to a bowl game every year.. If they kick ass there and adapt then we move to a better conference or in a perfect position to compete if the P5 breaks away. or if the FBS expands to 16 teams and every conference champ gets in... we would have all the rivalries we actually care about.. none of those eastern or southern FCS schools add one bit to our schedule or sell even a single extra ticket..

    At what point 9/10 15/16 does it not even feel like an accomplishment? Id rather watch them lose a close one to BYU, Boise or Wyoming this weekend then beat Colgate by 52...

    Well most Bama fans would think that way and then some will say hey, we were actually losing to Citadel at half. Even if they were playing like shit they were still losing to Citadel and we are not The Citadel. Again I'm not saying that we would win but it would be a decent game and fun to watch.

    If it happened right now with current rosters, people would surprised at how competitive that game would be. NDSU would bring it.

    Yep. Knowledgeable football fans that actually pay attention would be intrigued by this match-up, knowing that if Alabama didn't bring their A-game, they could be in for a surprise. But chances are that Saban wouldn't let the players sleep on NDSU as an opponent, and they'd be prepared. In which case, Alabama would likely end up ahead at the end of the game. But anyone that thinks NDSU wouldn't put up a fight -- especially with a team like this year's -- isn't paying attention.

    I agree with everything you said here.
