    It was lame when a team could lose the first game of the year and have no chance to compete for a national "championship" regardless of how much they improved because the winner was voted on by judges like in figure skating.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    It was also lame when the computers would allow LSU/Alabama to rematch in a title game when LSU won in the regular season. Thus allowing Alabama to play in a NC game with the luxury of a bye from not having to play in the SEC title game.

    NDSU can be interested in the B1G too, if the conference doesn't want them it doesn't mean jack shit.

    zero attempt at a burn. Just the way the world works.

    Link the article and the direct quote I'm anxious to see how far off base you are in context.

    Well, for starters, he didn't even get the publication right....
    His actual comment was along the lines that the American would be the best fit due to having 5 members in the central time zone.

    Entz, the current head coach, would pick the AAC if it was his call.

    “Just in terms of football, I think our best fit is the American,” he said. “From a geographical standpoint, there are (four) in Texas, plus Tulsa. Those are in the Central time zone and (others are) in the East, so it would fit for our fans and TV. From a travel standpoint, flying to Dallas is just as fast as Youngstown or Macomb, Illinois.”

    Oddly enough, the article mentions 2 problems: geography and no invitation, per usual.

    I would hardly call that a groundbreaking piece, lol Basically reiterated why NDSU isn't FBS and Entz comments mean literally nothing.
