If NDSU doesn't make the championship game.............

I kind of like Towson (even though Andy hates NDSU) and my sleeper pic a couple weeks ago before the brawl......Montana.

Those would be my favorite teams to be there.

I'm always an 'underdog' rooter, and though by no means a weak team in this field, I'd like to see "little" Wofford do it, if my Mountain Hawks can't. I like the David/Goliath battles. (;-)

Wofford. I think Mike Ayers is a great coach and would be very deserving of the recognition that a championship would bring.

They think highly enough of themselves without a championship. Ayers is a great coach though.
For no reason in particular I say Northern Iowa.

Elon obviously won't make it. And even though this thread is more for those fans of teams that made the playoffs, I just wanted to interject. I'd like to see Georgia Southern win it all. While their fans are a bit obnoxious, I had a brief exchange with Coach Monken after the Elon game & found him to be a total class act. The team has started to take on his personality as well. Best of luck Eagles.

Any SoCon team (because of loyalty to conference...and because Mocs fans can say they lost to the championship team by 2 points or less, no matter which SoCon team it was :()

or Tennessee Tech (because I have a lot of Eagle alums in the family...and it is their first time...and I would like to just see the OVC finally get another playoff win)

or EKU (because the Mocs beat them...and I liked the interactions I had with their fans, nice folks)

Ditto for me ... hoping for Sam or UCA, but had UNI #1 to start the season, and respect their style of play ... North Dakota State would be next in line ... Towson would be my underdog choice.

UNI was a classy bunch when we played them in '05 for the championship. Probably, historically the best program out there to not win a NC.

cbarrier90
November 24th, 2011, 07:51 PM
1. NDSU - have built up quite a reputation on these boards in the past few weeks, but it's a great program with a passionate fanbase. Since their best years up until this point in FCS came when they were inelligible for the playoffs, they're overdue for a title, and I'd like to see them get it.

2. Montana - don't think I need to explain why UM is on this list...

3. Wofford - tough choice, but alot of respect for a program that doesn't get enough publicity in the heart of SEC country. Add to that the fact that Ayers is as classy a coach as they come. Much like NDSU, they're long overdue for a title. On the other hand, I don't know if I could stomach a kid from Boone leading a SoCon foe to a championship.

JMU vs Wofford

We had a good game in the 2008 playoffs where neither option team could stop the other. TOP, ball control and who had the ball last. We were lucky to beat them.

For this year, if not JMU, then I would like to see Sam Houston State. A perfect season unbeaten is a beautiful thing. Good luck Bear Cats! (What is a bear cat? Anything like a honey badger?)

The Colonel versus The Chicken in the ultimate grudge match! The BCS has its lame *** bowl games but the FCS would have had a Bucket Game.

Probably be big in Japan.

I'm not so sure many are picking true rivals, so much as other conference members. I'll take Maine, just because I loved our battle of the bears - though it flabbergasts me that neither Maine nor UNH has ever won more than one playoff game in any given year.

I'd say one of the SoCon schools, but I'm not sure I can suffer through any of those fan bases after a championship. And for Wofford to be tied with us in championships would seem so... wrong in some way:D.

UNI is up there as one of the best programs never to win a title- I'd have no problem with them winning one.

Lehigh is a small, private, good academic school like Furman. I've always felt in league with the Patriot League schools, so I tend to root for them in the playoffs.

If none of them, let it be someone who has never won it before.

boogereagle
November 29th, 2011, 05:33 PM

I would be proud of Georgia Southern to win their 7th national championship. Or for Wofford to win their first. It doesn't hurt my school for them to be successful. Doesn't make us any better for them to lose. I know both schools fans would really be happy. I never wanted GaSo to have those down years. They are not my enemies, just really good competition.

Thats why I was so torn last year during the NC:
-It's always hard to root for Delaware for me (unless of course they're playing a FBS team, I root for every FCS team against FBS)
-It was also hard to root for EWU after they beat what I thought was a Nova team even better then our NC team
-Wanted to root for Delaware to make it 3 straight CAA NC wins over the Big Sky
-Wanted to root for EWU cause there is something a little more comforting knowing you lost to the best team in the country

In the end though it worked out. EWU won, Delaware got to look like whiners, and I enjoyed watching Keeler get upset.
