2023 Sagarin Says

[TAILG8R]

The last team from outside of the MVFC or the Big Sky to make it to Frisco that is still an FCS program was Towson in 2013.

Ah yes and what a formidable foe they were!

Going back 20 seasons when NDSU started the transition to D-I, there are only 5 championship appearances by a current FCS team not in the MVFC or Big Sky and two of those were Delaware.

So 20 years = 40 teams and only 5 of the 40 teams were from conferences other than the MVFC and Big Sky? 12.5%

Can we petition to move the Natty game to Denver? I see the Big Sky and the MVFC dominating for the next few years. Possibly up to a decade.

You need to get the sports authority in Denver to put together a team to organize and host. Then they have to coordinate facilities, hotels, etc. to submit a big. Most of the logistical work for these championships are done by LOCs and not the NCAA staff. Their staff is actually fairly small.

I think I counted correctly and 13 of the last 40 participants are now in the FBS.

Vegas would be fun if it didn’t conflict with CES, which I think also is in early January.

What is this I hear about the committee dropping their SRS and going back to the media and coaches polls to inform their decisions on at large teams and seeding?!? Just when you thought maybe some progress was being made. What a dumpster fire.

Looks that way. Still 8 seeds, and the regional geography rule for pairing also.

Coaches Poll and Stats media poll directly spelled out as the tools the committee will use in Section 2.3
No mention of SRS. That kinda sucks.

Kinda of sucks?? It's a total joke but what isn't when it comes to the FCS playoffs.

Love the playoffs in general but number of teams, seeding and regionalization is pud to borrow a Chapoism.
