Without a doubt the autos have to disappear. So many conferences with autos that are d2 caliber. So many bad teams in the fcs. Pick the best 8 like the fbs picks the best 4

I had mentioned it before but I feel the fcs should go to a 8 team playoff format. Way too many participating ribbons at a 24 team format. The fbs is only a 4 team.

Without looking at teams 16-24 resumes.... what does und bring to the table that would be considered playoff worthy? I realize the fcs is weak but there has to be teams that would better represent that post season. Und has struggled mightily with three 2-9 teams. Getting completely blown out in one of them and losing the yardage game in all three. They will have beaten one playoff bound team. Hardly screams “belong” worthy.

Agreed

Perhaps. I would say with this coaching staff it wouldn’t.

Having 100% attrition is nearly impossible. But if they were able to keep Merz, Grady , Slater .....etc would that been enough to counter anything that we see today? Not sure. But I agree the attrition for whatever reason on the line has been bad.

Why is that? After six years of bubba recruiting you would think the personal would be there on the line. It’s pretty apparent Bubba wants to ground and pound to control TOP and yet he has not had a line to work with. Add to that, they were asked to lose a good percentage of the weight this off season. This coaching staff is a joke.

Sam (5-5) lost to a 2-8 team today. No playoffs. Montana st is the one and only game und can hang their hat on. Cal poly and Unc will be recognized as bad wins. They escaped two 2 win teams Idaho st 2-8 ....absolutely throttles und. If und only lost ...that would be one thing. Und was thrown about like a toddler in that game. Und doesn’t deserve to be playoff bound. No playoffs =Chavez will have his ammo to rid of bubba.

Do I know you?

That’s your opinion. I have mine.

What’s wrong?

The better team did not win today. Unc has better athletes and coaches. Und does not belong in the playoffs. If they somehow make the playoffs that only means bubba will still be coach.

Sounds good.

That would be me

Great. So do I. How about bubba on winning the “big” games? Has he excelled at that?!

Right. Where do you stand with a bubba led team.

I’ve laid out my reasonings. What’s yours

I’m never right. I just need to hear what und has gained from the “16” playoff experience ?

We all live the reality that und football never wins a big game. 10 years running. Some people are frustrated others accept it. The forum gives an outlet to everyone.

Have been and will forever be. I’m extremely critical. I expect wins not a .500 d1 record. At what point in the d1 era does und expect to win these type of games. I would venture to say 10% thought und had a chance. The winning expectations don’t exist. And for good measure ... Bubba CAN NOT win a big game. This one was close. But close doesn’t cut it. Also, what good would it be to make the playoffs and get embarrassed? Maybe not even embarrassed just lose. Und had a seed in “16”. They had two weeks of healing up and dissecting opposing teams. Home game with a great crowd. A completely broken Richmond team came to GF after a west coast trip the week before and walked away a victor. Und gained zero from that experience. Actually I would say it’s been a downfall since. I feel the FCS should go to a 8 team playoff format. The other 16 teams are only there for participating ribbons. Is there anything here that have I lied about ? Is there anything you would debunk ?

This right here. I’m at the point I’d rather und not make the playoffs so the embarrassment is kept at a regional sake and not a nation wide publicity. Deflating

If it’s not one thing it’s another. Und just can’t win a big game. Frustrating

A valiant effort. Und just is incapable of beating a legit team. Loved bubbas aggressive nature. 6 years of boring ass conservative nature. He gave it his all.

The line play has been fantastic since the1st qtr. Playing great right now. Bubba has FINALLY being aggressive! Absolutely love it.

Weber is a more talented and a better coached team. Anything can happen on any given Saturday ...but would require quite a few “breaks” for und to pull off the victory. Und has had the luck at home this year ...not so much on the road. The difference in today’s game ....Weber’s offensive and defensive lines. Their front four group on D is the best in the fcs. Very disruptive. It would be nice to see und go up tempo to maybe catch Weber off guard. Make their big d line run side to side all game with no time to inhale. Keep the ball on the edge or outside of the box. Try to loosen them up and then hit the middle. Unds lighter OL was built for up tempo ...not for grinding it out. Hoping to see freund call a great game Weber's offense has been gelling lately. Nothing “flashy” about their offense just effective and bullish. Their running back, Davis, could have a big day ....150-200ish yards rushing. Unds run defense hasn’t been that good going against Webers mojo. In 6 years Bubba hasnt shown he can beat a legit team. Needs to change Thinking 37-7 Weber. However, if und can get some things going offensively they could make a game of it for awhile.
