Academic fit - absolutely. Athletically? Not so much overall.
Look no further than the recent CFP.
-Undefeated ACC Champion Florida State - out. (corollary - undefeated SoCon champion)
-One loss Big 12 champion Texas - in. (corollary - one...
I was fully intentional in not including a second team from the Valley.
So you advocate a committee that selects the top 4 and leaves out an undefeated SoCon champion in favor of the one loss CAA champion and the second team from the Big Sky?
Does the NE-10 want them?
At many (most?) institutions, employees receive free or discounted tuition for themselves and their dependents.
If the goal is to raise the academic profile of the conference, job well done. Athletically? No comment because my overall knowledge of the sports teams at the two schools is insufficient to provide...
Just as odd, Florida A&M didn't join the MEAC until 1980 and played in a D2 conference through 1979, yet they were classified as 1-AA and won the national championship in 1979 despite all of their...
Didn't play, but still classified as FCS by the NCAA.
According to the NCAA, as of the 2022 season 23 schools have been 1-AA/FCS every year since the split of Division 1 took place (1978). http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/2022/FCS.pdf...
In my haste to ascertain whether Wilber's was included, I did indeed see the "G" and the "sboro" as Goldsboro.
FUBeAR will not believe this article has merit. A joint in Goldsboro is included, but it is not Wilber's. Also of note - the article writer is as bad at counting as some of the NCAA sports...
Exactly the argument I've made against "seeding" 9-16.
The origin of pork rinds?
Perhaps he was trying to improve on the experience with both sauces. Proper whole-hog chopped pork improves the flavor of everything, much like bacon.
Ooh - now I want to have a chopped pork with...
Annapolis - Navy plebes took it from West Point following Army winning the trophy the last year it was awarded while they were trying unsuccessfully to kidnap the mule.
If awarded at end of regular season - Nova. If awarded mid-December - Albany.
Any other list for this conference is superfluous, unless you want to debate the order of Bowes, Talley, and Laycock as 2-4. My personal order would be exactly opposite the one listed, but I would...
Let the "haves" play on weeknights! Then we get more Saturday football from the guys who are at least pretending to be in college to work toward a degree.
For me, the "junk" CAA football league wasn't about specific teams. It was about the loss of continuity and disregard of traditional football matchups (not all qualify as rivalries).
UD playing...
These games are why I referenced eliminating a buyout if DSU was added to my dream schedule (only NSU would have to be bought out in that scenario).
A dream schedule, tying together history and modern "names" (assuming UD is a non-conference game for CAA teams):
Lehigh (long-time rival before Lehigh went PL)
at William & Mary (long history and...
Immediately better than the current CUSA and the Sun Belt of five years ago.
Villanova can schedule other cupcakes without the expectation of a return game.
Two losses more likely than two wins, and even with the two wins a seed isn't guaranteed.
Most likely scenario is one win and one loss and getting a home game on Thanksgiving weekend before going...
