    The P4 would probably want to ban all G6 schools from being eligible for the playoff at all. That ain't happening either. Nor should it. Notre Dame probably thinks they should get special treatment like they did in the Bowl Coalition/Bowl Alliance/BCS era. That ain't happening either. Nor should it. People will probably continue to pretend that Ohio and Ohio State belong in the same subdivision. But that doesn't make it true. If the P4 doesn't like G6 schools crashing "their" party, they should just do what they have threatened to do for several years: Set up their own subdivision. Until then, stop the griping.

    That might work.

    There are always some horribly managed programs in every sport. Unfortunately, we've had some extensive experience in that department since moving up to Division I.
  4. fightingsioux4life
    I guess I just don't like the idea of watering it down too much. 24 just feels like some of the crazy expansion ideas for March Madness.
  5. fightingsioux4life
    24 is a little too large. 16 is a nice round number. I think there are nine conferences in FBS (PAC 12 is gone?). Seven at-large bids is more than enough.

    Basketball is a much different sport. In basketball, you can build a good team around one or two guys. In football, you have to have good players at more than just one or two positions. This ensures that larger schools with larger budgets will always be light years ahead of everyone else. There is zero need for subdivisions in basketball. There is a definite need for it in football. The manifesto you shared is very interesting and might very well work. But the status quo is not sustainable in the long run and needs to change.
  7. fightingsioux4life
    Either give the G5 auto-bids or subdivide FBS into two separate divisions (P4 and G5). Those are the two most viable options.
  8. fightingsioux4life
    Interesting.
  9. fightingsioux4life
    In light of the inclusion of two G5 teams to the CFP on Sunday (James Madison, Tulane) and the outrage of excluding Notre Dame, I have a pretty simple fix. -Expand the field to 16 teams. -Every conference gets one autobid. All other spots are at-large bids. -Seed teams according to the CFP committee rankings 1-16. -Top 8 teams host bottom 8 teams. -No more byes for anyone. everyone has to win four games to win the title. If we aren't willing to do this, we should just subdivide FBS (P4 and G5) and be done with it. It is lunacy to continue pretending that Ohio is at the same level as Ohio State.

    Notre Dame's "beef" is that they have a sense of entitlement and are used to getting what they want. That changed on Sunday and now they are complaining loudly about it. The entire collegiate sports world does NOT revolve around the almighty Fighting Irish. Along with NDSU-CKS losing, this was the best part of my weekend.

    When is our next FBS money game?
  12. fightingsioux4life
    Kind of like Brewster did at the end.
  13. fightingsioux4life
    I will be disappointed if Schmidt doesn't give the offense a total top to bottom makeover. But I have a feeling he will do just that. Schmidt has shown that accountability will matter with him in charge.
  14. fightingsioux4life
    Back to living in the past again! Karma is a b!tch that always has the last laugh. And you and your ilk have just gotten a big steaming plate of it served to you. Please go back to Bisonville and finish eating it. MY, OH, MY!!!!!
  15. fightingsioux4life
    I think we'll have an open QB competition in spring and fall.
  16. fightingsioux4life
    I think Schmidt knows the offense needs a lot of work and I think we'll see a total overhaul from top to bottom.
  17. fightingsioux4life
    Couldn't agree with you more.
  18. fightingsioux4life
    So you are calling for Schmidt's head less than one year in? Go take a pill and lie down.
  19. fightingsioux4life
    I have never liked the play calling this season, whether we win or lose. It just didn't cost us sometimes.
  20. fightingsioux4life
    Which is what I said. But @jdub27 disagrees.
  21. fightingsioux4life
    You can defend Mr. B1G/NFL all you want, but he's part of the problem on offense and needs to go. Schmidt needs to put one of his guys in that job
  22. fightingsioux4life
    Exactly. Schmidt has done an extraordinary job with this program in a very short period of time. But we still lack the depth and elite talent needed to make a deep playoff run. The staff will need to hit the portal hard this off-season. The recruiting so far has been impressive and I think those kids will be called upon very early in their collegiate careers. But there absolutely needs to be a change at OC. It isn't all about the lack of execution on the field; coaching and play calling are very important at this level. Schmidt needs to find someone he has coached with during his travels and put him in at OC. The offense was absolutely offensive during the second half of the year and that has to change in 2026.
  23. fightingsioux4life
    The P4 schools may not want them.
  24. fightingsioux4life
    Watching the Sun Belt title game (Troy State at JMU). UND played on that same field in the playoffs in Spring 2021.
  25. fightingsioux4life
    And I agree with you. Most cable channels suck today. I have seriously considered dumping cable altogether, but UND hockey is one of the reasons why I haven't pulled the trigger on that.
