The most recent "CSN Way" article fully SUPPORTS the propsed FCS playoff expansion.
(9/27/07) Eighteen and I like it! http://www.collegesportingnews.com/a...rticleid=87791
Yet as recently as this July, the same writers were arguing AGAINST expansion.In principle, more college football, in the oh-so-humble opinion of CSN writers, is never a bad thing.
No matter what the details end up being for implementing the expanded playoffs, there is a considerable upside, not the least being more FCS football to enjoy.
If the end result is to have every school participate in the FCS playoffs, that may only be a good thing. Even if it’s difficult to achieve, it might be more than worth it.
(7/29/07) Tough Playoff Spot? http://www.collegesportingnews.com/a...rticleid=86567
So my question is this, WHY THE CHANGE OF OPINION? Don't you owe your readers an answer of why you switched sides on this topic?As much as we are loath to argue against MORE FCS football games, the logic simply isn’t right. The number of FCS teams that can qualify for the playoffs isn’t 122.
Expanding the D-I playoffs even by a single team would make the tournament field the easiest to achieve.
Do we really want to do the same thing for FCS, increasing participation so far that we get the same type of matchup?
The highest level of NCAA championship football deserves better than that for 2008 and beyond.
