A new and better FBS thread

[NDSU92]

The Coaches poll is easily the worst. My point is that since even they don't use blind W-L your statement is dumb. Yes, you are dumb. Still waiting on you showing a poll that uses W-L like you said they do.

Maybe if you call me dumb three times in a post, you can actually wish it into being.

Until then I suppose you can use logical fallacies to try to prove your points

One thing everyone can probably agree on at this point - at least CUSA isn’t just judged on W/L at the level that they’re at. Everyone knows they’re the worst FBS conference of all time.

Same cannot be said for the FCS. We’re still basing rankings off # of losses and everything else be damned. Just like a subdivision full of teacher-college basketball schools should.

On this we agree.

IF what some people consider a miracle occurred, and we ended up in that conference, we'd really learn what an empty Fargo Dome looks like on Tuesday and Wednesday. At least now we have our tailgating and 50/50 on Saturdays.

A label won't fix anything. People are looking for exciting quality games. If another JMU comes along in the playoffs or we get SDSU at home, people will come. They won't show up in droves for FIU, UTEP, and Kennesaw.

All this fixation on a non-existant option just gets people frustrated. In spite of the name, CUSA is a southeast region conference, and has their short list. We won't be on it, and that doesn't bother me one bit. There will be a better opening in time. Completely in favor of a real FBS option when it appears.

Ideally we could all just admit that we’re advocating for the option that gives us the best chance to join our peers in the upper G5, we could save a lot of the mental masturbation that goes on. Nothing wrong with having different opinions of how to solve the same problem. We’re all Bison fans here I assume

I think the only disagreement is what that best option looks like, and what can realistically happen.
Someone could advocate for joining the B1G, doesn't mean it can happen.

100% agree, that just gets lost on some folks

Georgia Southern vs Georgia St on tonight. Good crowd.

Would be a nice conference to join, if they ever called we should answer. Feels a bit unlikely, but maybe easier to join than AAC.

Or that WIU is better than SHSU.

Thats becoming a close call. The SHSU/FIU game was sloppy garbage, and looked worse than our game.
SHSU is 0-8, they would struggle to win many games in MVFC.

Their best chance for a win will be next week vs Kennesaw, who is 1-5 in FCS. A single win over D2 Tusculum.

The argument that these teams are a step up would have a little merit if they were strong in FCS before they left.

SHSU played Air Force close. Most of their losses have been one score games. They would beat WIU by 3 tds. SHSU is 160 in Sagarin in all of D1 and Western Illinois is 239. If you believe those teams are close you have zero football knowledge.

Also SHSU won a championship and arguably was one of the most successful FCS programs in the decade before moving up. You are completely clueless.
