A new and better FBS thread

[BigHorns]

Maybe we can print "20XX College Football Playoff Participant" t-shirts too.

If we moved up, that actually would be a huge accomplishment, and not something that would happen more than once or twice a decade, if that. That assumes we could get into the MWC or AAC.

There are some good reasons to move to FBS, but hoping to quickly make the playoffs and become a title contender aren't really part of that if people are honest. We won't come close to competing with the UGA, OSU, and Alabama tier of schools. The resources they have are enormous. G5 is like a lower subdivision almost that pulls off a few P5 upsets, the same way FCS pulls off a few FBS upsets each year.

Also, since they are moving to 5+7 format, if the PAC actually rebuilds, it would be rare for any of the G5 conference teams to get in. PAC would harvest all the strongest G5's, and land the last CFP slot the majority of the time.

Stronger competition in regular season, a conference championship, and bowl games would be the main reasons to move.

This is why I believe which conference we join is important. Would our fans really get excited to play SHSU, JSU, FIU, etc?
I do think being in a conference with Boise, Air Force, Wyoming, UNLV, etc would be a hell of a lot of fun, for both football and basketball.

I should have made that purple obviously...

To be honest, it was not outside the realm of possibilities of some on here...

Looks like we are headed towards a split between the Power Conference "haves" and the "have nots"

The P4 want to take the money and run.

It will be remarkably hard to tell the difference from what it is already. The haves already have most of the money, they already have most of the power. It has been this way for 100 years.

The have nots keep plugging away. It ain't like we will stop rooting for our alma maters. 60+ universities are not going to drop sports. There will still be football games on Saturday and games on tv.

The one thing imo that would make any sort of split, reconstruction of the NCAA, etc actually look any different is if the haves stop playing the have nots(or vice versa) entirely. Let's face it the have nots will never let go of that check so it would have to be a decision made by the haves.

Just imagine the electricity of a 4-3 NDSU team hosting a 1-6 Sam Houston State Bearkat squad.

In FBS we would have 6 home games sometimes 5 as we can have a neutral site game at MSP or Vegas or Denver

So all games would matter in order to win the conference or get to 6-5 for a Bowl game


There would never be a stupid thanksgiving game like this one


You can buy front row seats and 10,000 more for Saturday
