    Re: Hero's 2017 FCS Playoffs as a 68-Team field

    You could definitely be "one of the best" and finish 4th in your conference. My issue is with you laying claim to being THE best. Without autobids, undefeated teams will get left out in favor of...

    Re: Hero's 2017 FCS Playoffs as a 68-Team field

    Leaving that 10-1 Lehigh team at home was rediculous, but I can't really complain. If you don't win the conference, there is credible doubt as to whether or not you are the best team. At that...

    Re: Hero's 2017 FCS Playoffs as a 68-Team field
