    For the last decade here’s the top of the table:
    1. 756 North Dakota State
    2. 241 Eastern Washington
    3. 196 Sam Houston State
    4. 193 James Madison
    5. 105 South Dakota State
    6. 101 Illinois State

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Like Sagarin, 5dimes favors NDSU over the field to win the title and JMU is the only other team that isn't a long shot: https://twitter.com/SamHerderFCS/sta...526815233?s=19

    Odds to win the #FCS title, via 5dimes:

    NDSU -135
    JMU +185
    Weber St +1700
    Sac St +2300
    Mont +2350
    SDSU +3500
    Mont St +6600
    UNI +15000
    ISU +55000
    SLU +55000
    Albany +82500
    UCA +165000
    APSU +165000
    Nicholls +200000
    KSU +200000
    Monmouth +200000
    So the wise guys, just like pretty much everyone else, see this as a 2 horse race.

    Would they actually take money on KSU or Nicholls? Those seem like the kind of bet where you toss $10 on and if it were to happen, that's life changing money.

    I've never placed a bet on there but I assume they would. In their eyes you're basically giving them $10. They try to put a number on those bets to entice people to bet even the longest shots.

    Btw, those amounts are for $100 bets. I'm pretty sure you can still bet $10 but you'd "only" win 20k on those long shots rather than 200k.

    Ah, yeah, i remember this article... If JMU makes a likely appearance in the final, should bump them up to 2, yeah?

    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    CAA is the Best conference!!

    The MVFC has clearly been the best conference over the last 10 years.
