    further evidence that the FCS is #ELITE football. We take the playoffs super duper seriously. Only a select few of #ELITE programs, who take football super duper seriously can pass the gauntlet that is the regular season, and graduate to the #ELITE playoffs.

    Honestly any of the team in the FCS playoffs could probably win the ACC with the exception of Clemson.

    Im just so proud to associate our football program with these other, nationally respected, football TITANS of the FCS.

    What an incredible subdivision. Lets definitely stay here for as long as possible.
    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

    125 24 19.2

    Not Including Ivy league
    117 24 20.5

    Not Including Ivy League and SWAC
    105 24 22.8

    Not Including Ivy League, SWAC, and MEAC*
    099 24 24.2



    *I forgot how fricken complicated this gets because MEAC members can go to the FCS playoffs as an "at-large" but not the conference champion so most of the time they don't get invited.

    This is such an ELITE playoff format, I'm sure the CFP will totally be copying us soon, as we are a completely respectable, not at all embarrassing, subdivision of football

    So can the SWAC members just not the teams playing in the SWAC Championship Game or Grambling and Southern since those games are played during the playoffs.

    EDIT: Well, and I guess that list this year includes Prairie View A&M, Alabama St, and Mississippi Valley St so might as well be no SWAC teams since any team not in that group that's anywhere near good enough to be considered for an at-large probably still won't know if they're SWAC title game bound or not by Selection Sunday.

    Teams in the SWAC are allowed to go to the playoffs, much like I am free to go to the moon

    And get left out of a 4-team "playoff" when we go undefeated in the MAC?
    It's OK to not be OK.

    I'm with you on this one.

    I don't care one lick about FBS playoffs and personally it doesn't factor in on my desire to be or not be in the FBS.

    A couple years ago it did. Not anymore.

    We are sending 90 year old actors to space now, though, so there’s a chance.

    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
