    Wasn’t the old BCS system the one that used Sagirin ratings?

    I guess I disagree, I bet we’d see a G5 crack the top 8 once in a while.

    like UCLA, Illinois, Minnesota, Arizona?? they have 0 chance year in and year out. its a bad argument. swing and a miss

    I'm not sure I follow how this isn't an pro-FBS argument. I agree, we wouldn't want to be in a second-rate division that nobody nationally cares about. And this is why I want us to leave FCS. It has become a second-rate division that nobody nationally cares about. For goodness sake there is a 4+ year old thread which is still alive on this forum called "Bison Fatigue". That speaks volumes.

    Exactly!!!

    No college football system has ever used any individual computer ranking to a significant degree. Once upon a time there was a system with two polls plus a bucket of 6 computers that were all constrained by not being able to use margin of victory. So at most a neutered Sagarin rating was one eighteenth of the selection process.

    I love this reply for 2 reasons:

    #1 only a fan from a team the has combined with NDSU for the last 9 championships could share an understanding of this concern

    #2 JMU is part of the proof how non-competitive the FCS has gotten.

    So question is even if the average serious Bison fan wants a move to FBS does play it safe Matt Larson and his cronies care to work towards a step up? I mean why not win a few more national titles to add to his resume before moving on? Matt doesn't give a shit about the average Bison fan. Please show me the proof NDSU is preparing for a possible move up and in contact with FBS conferences. Seems obvious this should be happening, but I think the status quo is happy to party on and pat themselves on the back.
