Oh yeah, people will raise hell no matter what about how the committee hates their team but it doesn't get much bluer than NDSU in the FCS and they were left out of the seeds last year despite being...

I'd assume the (higher) seeded schools will still have to meet the minimum financial guarantee to the NCAA in order to host. That would be 40k for the first round increasing by 10k per round up to...
I'd disagree that the seed bubble is any different from the at-large bubble in terms of how many hairs they have to split to differentiate teams. There's probably less belly-aching from teams just on...
Because the committee isn't the NCAA and has no direct incentive to maximize profits in the playoffs. I can pull out plenty of examples of where they didn't seed teams to make the most money. In the...

Very nice - should pretty much put an end to bids making a difference in terms of who is hosting. Of course it will also give more opportunities to whine about the selection...
How NDSU's collective works, as far as I understand it, is when players "sign" with the collective they have to fulfill obligations such as making appearances for fans, helping non-profits, or other...
I would generally take two days off anyway when it was a Saturday game and get down there on Thursday and come back Sunday. The upside of this for fans who will be there is a much better tailgate...
Don't know much about McDowell but in the games I watched he really struggled against Furman, NDSU, and SDSU. On top of that here's his "journey":
2019-2020: Louisiana (Lafayette)
2021: Kilgore...
It won't - CFP quarters are on 12 /31 and 1/1 and semis aren't until 1/9 (Thursday) and 1/10 (Friday). This will be the Monday after week 18 on the NFL slate so won't have anything to compete with...
FWIW JMU, with their gargantuan athletic fees, has a tuition of $13,576 for in-state students and $30,790 out-of-state students.
...
What I'm saying is it's pretty much the same thing whether it's earmarked as student fees of school funds. In both cases it's money going to the school's athletic department that would otherwise be...
Probably just a matter of accounting - here's the "school funds" going into athletic department revenue for each of those schools:
Towson - $5,153,431
William & Mary - $1,134,287
UNH -...
How much of a joke is the AGS Poll then? Considering that the selection committee's choices for at-large selections have mirrored the AGS consensus on the Selection Sunday Poll 93% of the time since...
What's more fair - determining a playoff spot by a selection committee or determining it based purely on the results on the field with teams earning conference championships? Aren't some of you YSU...
This is the Division 1 Football Championship - that means that any D1 conference (that wants it) should get access to it. If you want to argue that the non-scholly Pioneer or partial scholly NEC...
Now this makes a lot more sense for former NDSU OC Tyler Roehl in terms of a career progression:

I still think his move to...

Thought this might be the year the streak was broken but Sundell getting the invite gets NDSU to 7 years in a row with at least one player invited to the NFL combine.
They've got a couple guys retained from Entz's staff (RB coach Beshorner and OL coach Larson) that have previous experience as an OC at the D2 level.
Also would seem plausible that Polasek, being...
Kept wondering if/when this shoe was going to drop for NDSU:
[Tennessee State] Football Names Tyler Roehl Associate Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator
I'm pretty sure Roehl was jaded about...
Seems to be a lot of recency bias towards playoffs games in the final poll and SIU had a nice playoff run finishing perhaps a bad coaching decision away from the quarterfinals. I really wanted to...
Yes, I'm fairly sure that's a sellout plus a good standing room crowd. Ever since they renovated the south endzone in 2016 I'm pretty sure seated capacity is around 18k since it's never not been sold...
Final poll article: https://thefcswedge.com/ags-poll/ags-poll-final-2023-top-25-results/
Not much to say about this one - these final polls are just a formality really since I think the...
Bump ;)
I guess if nothing else those dirty Jackrabbits saved me a few bucks...
I ran through some notables earlier based on players who received postseason conference accolades and their bios on their site:
They mentioned on the broadcast that Davis is gone for the NFL...
