So Who’s Gonna Win the FCS Championship?
North Dakota State.

Are You Sure?
Yes. 100 percent. I haven’t found a sportsbook willing to take an NDSU national championship futures bet, but if I do I will instantly put a large sum of money on the Bison winning, whatever the odds.

What Other Teams Might Win?
None of them.
...
North Dakota State received all 147 first-place votes in the preseason FCS [media] poll. Its dominance might make the FCS seem boring, but I like watching it run opponents through the wood chipper. It’s horrifying and soothing, like a TikTok of a guy methodically chopping an onion, but with every other team’s hopes and dreams.

Great article. Bulletin board material for literally every FCS team except ours...

I guess there's a benefit to kicking off the season in the sports wasteland known as mid-February... more national press. Here's ESPN's "Ultimate FCS spring football preview" (requires an Insider membership): https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...orylines-watch

NDSU highlighted in two weeks of the preview from March 19-21 dubbed "Zeb Noland Week" (UND game) and April 2-4 dubbed "Dakota Marker Week".

Nice NDSU picture in this New York Times article:

Then, of course, there's this quote: "... said Curt Cignetti, the coach at James Madison, which nearly won the F.C.S. title game at the end of the 2019 season."

Jesus Christ enough already. Many of us have to wear a face mask 100% time outside our home. This includes 8+ hours at my office at work.

I'm old and fat and I just did a 30 km hike masked the whole time. If you can't sit in one in a climate controlled entertainment complex for 3 hours thats on you dude.
