    Unless we go back to the old 16 week done by Christmas schedule, which we never did, not much has changed for the seeded teams.

    Looking at FCS teams, there are only six teams that would be less than 21 point underdogs on a neutral field.

    It's OK to not be OK.

    The big part the FBS misses is that their regular season is NCAA sanctioned. The FBS post-season is not affiliated or sanctioned by the NCAA. Do you ever see NCAA logos or other things at the stadium or in the broadcast. Not really, you might see one here or there. Watch a FCS game, banners, ads, Big Screens are covered in NCAA logos and stuff.

    Watch March Madness, NCAA logos everywhere.


    Any NCAA logos at the "College Football NC"?

    Nope. Not, a, one.


    We are THE NCAA Division 1 Football Champs! Hail the Bison!!!

    I see your back denigrating Bison football. I am sure the teams in D2 are surprised at this development.
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    Unless every conference gets an autobid, it's too low. After that you can debate the appropriate number of at large teams.

    Otherwise not every conference is really part of the same division.

    I meant FBS could add teams without adding weeks.

    FCS could cut teams without reducing weeks. Just more teams would get first week of playoffs off.

    yeah I was referring to the earlier comment about too many teams in FCS. Since the first week is a play in anyway, the number of teams doesn't hurt the schedule.

    I didn't want to start a new thread. Massey has the stats up for the '19 season. Yeah I know, it's based mostly as last year but still kinda fun to look ahead. Only close one according to Massey is SDSU at 72% chance for us. Butler is 100% but UN_ is only 99%. JMU is only ranked 7th, kinda surprising too.
