    Wisconsin is out of the running for the playoffs, Ohio State might be too. With North Dakota being a hotspot, you think that the Bison would have gotten through the season without missing games due to COVID?

    FBS is limping along with half a season. It's the only reason Coastal and Liberty are showing out.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hard to tell one way or the other. I suppose some of it is luck and some is procedure, some schools have been able to play their games with limited problems, conveniently, the high end programs outside of THE Ohio State have played enough games to separate themselves.

    Looking like a lot depends on the ACC title game. If Clemson wins big, that may take ND out. If Clemson wins close ND stays in. If ND wins period Clemson is out.

    This all assumes Alabama beats Florida. I wonder what the committee does if Florida and Clemson win close games.

    1. Clemson?
    2. Bama?
    3. ND?
    4. Florida?

    Or do they flip FL and AL around then?

    Committee has a tough job.

    But we have bigger fish to fry in the next couple of years after this year with lower revenue because of covid and losing donations.
    Damn thats pretty cool. Actions speak louder than words. Hopefully it comes to fruition.

    No sure “bigger fish to fry” comment makes sense though. As in missing the forest for the trees.

    Cincinatti should be in if they win out IMO. AAC isn't really a power conference but it really isn't a G5 program either. I would estimate that it has 6 of the top ten programs outside the power conferences. Maybe four programs that could plausibly win a title. They don't have any great wins but they have a bunch of good wins and they look the part.

    So NDSU has a big empty room just sitting there not being used, in the middle of their football space, waiting for a coach that may or may not show up in the next 10-20 years? Interesting strategy in a facility that is nearing 30 years old.

    I'll bet that empty room is the trophy room.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    Overflow for the trophy case. Good planning actually.

    We are being laughed at???? Doubtful. You being laughed at? More than likely.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I cant imagine many FBS message boards spend any significant amount of time thinking about FCS, much less taking the time to point and laugh at a specific member.

    Anyone here spend much time thinking about D2 or D3 football?
