Romfo: First Blood Part II

Wow, what a loser. Having a life? Psh. Bison fans look down their chins at you.

Not to change gears from this enthralling discussion… but I have a question. In my opinion this was NDSUs second worst title team in the FCS era. Thinking about their roster next year I don’t see a great RB stable and I don’t see proven dynamic wrs. Add to that, we know the qbs aren’t good. I’m wondering what you see for the team next year. I think they need some unknown guys to really step up. Kinda have to assume they will given recent history.

I’m aware. That’s where I think the P5 incest theory would apply. They were ranked fairly high, but safely outside of the P5 circle jerk. There’s bound to be a break through from time to time though.

12-1 Houston ranked 18 in 2015. 13-0 Western Michigan ranked 15 in 2016. 12-0 UCF ranked 12 in 2017. 12-0 UCF ranked 8 in 2018. 12-1 Memphis ranked 17 in 2019. 9-0 Cincy in ranked 8 2020. 13-0 Cincy ranked 4 in 2021. As you can see if you’re G5 you don’t get respect. The only exception is Cincy recently. For a G5 school their name does carry some weight, though, because of their basketball success. An 11 win NDSU team would maybe get looked at for a 12 team playoff if they had a big ranked win. Even then it’s a maybe. Coastal Carolina had ranked wins against #8 BYU and #21 ULL in 2020 and got sent to the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl. Let that sink in.

Likely similar to an undefeated Coastal Carolina who, 11-0, were ranked 12. I have a theory though, that if the playoffs are expanded the rankings will favor P5 schools with a loss or two over the undefeated low G5 teams like Coastal. Meaning, they would find a way to rank them outside the top 12 and slide in a 1 or 2 loss team with blue blood.

The MAC and the Big 10 are the only two footprints that make sense. Big 10 will never happen obviously for a million reasons. MAC has 16 teams already so that ain’t happening either.

It’s just hard to look at geography and see a clear path. In my mind it would’ve already happened.

Wasn’t he supposed to be in the NFL by now? I thought scouts were drooling over him whenever they visited.

They didn’t get left out. In fact, they were in and won it all.

The points are: Dom Izzo is getting clicks in the off-season with an intentionally delusional take that gets NDSU rubes hard and makes everyone else facepalm. NDSU is geographically isolated and doesn’t appear to have a legit FBS option.

Yea, any given Saturday Bama and Georgia from this year would beat those three teams by 40. I’m assuming you watched that game. Those two teams were playing on a different level than all other college teams.

How many of these were playoff games. That is what my point is about. You don’t catch teams sleeping in the FBS playoffs. You got a list of FBS playoff upsets? I’d love to see it.

Name the teams that got left out who actually had a shot to win it all. If there’s a single team I’d be surprised.

How many years have there been 3 legit contenders in the last 21 years of FBS football? In can come up with that one Auburn team from like 2003 or so as a legit third team.

March madness is totally different. You can get far riding like 6 guys in basketball. Much harder to take out the big dogs in football.

A 12 team FBS tournament would be a joke. How many teams per year have a legit shot? Maximum 3-5 I would say. Rarely more than 3.

And Montana States qb inures his leg on the first drive. You can’t make this !@#$ up.

It’s an odd choice to say the least.

Lotus isn’t in the mix for anything until he proves he can stay healthy.

Someone needs to step up at center. Either Carrol or one of the transfers.

Seems like a bit of a unique situation don’t you think?
