A new and better FBS thread

[NDSU92]

Not sure I trust Sagarin on this. They've had a few years recruiting at FBS level now, and their new QB and receivers really lit UNC up. I don't think our offense is at that level. Of course we probably wouldn't let UNC score 50 on us either.

A matchup would be interesting. Player talent level in FBS overall is higher though. It's not the same as playing against MVFC, outside of SDSU maybe.

Trust whatever you want, Sagarin doesn’t just look at one game. Go one more game back and they beat Gardner Webb by 7 lol

You have seen our D play, haven't you?

Makes the top of my mouth bleed.

You gotta let it soak in the milk for..... a day or two before you eat it!

I'm also taking this with a grain of salt.

These types of discussions are sensitive, and might not be shared with everyone before a deal is done. People don't want egg on their face if it doesn't work out. Plus, MW internally is still figuring out who will stay to make these decisions. At least a couple more schools could still leave. It's hard to add anyone in that environment, until you know who is staying.

I also am thinking the same. Does not gel with what Matt all but said last week whatever happens will be done quietly and sources coming form Mountain West in different reports that NDSU is under consideration. Reminder of the political blowback they will get form UND bobo's if they were public about it; you want to announce only when the deal is already done and sealed.

Its not typical for us, and I'm presuming this gets fixed soon. Our D this year is below the standard for Bison football.

If it doesn't get fixed, Jacks game could be ugly. We also won't see Frisco unless it's fixed.

Best part about it is we’d be a 3 point dog to JMU right now. JMU didn’t get any better, they’ve just proven that G6 football is no better than NDSU, SDSU level of play.

JMU has 22 more scholarships than us. That's enough to field a full starting offense and defense.

We would have more scholarships too

"Fortune favors the bold."

CSU is taking a calculated risk. I wish NDSU would do the same. I'm watching a lot less NDSU football than I used to. FCS boredom I guess.

They can have up to 22 more scholarships, but most G5s are at 70-80.

Was hoping they could keep Utah State, so unfortunate I guess. I do suppose it helps increase our chances.

Fuck it, make the MW desperate enough to add XDSUs and UTEP/NM state. Fun frisky conference to get us FBS while we consolidate an invite somewhere better.
