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 a ranked wins against #8 BYU and #21 ULL in 2020 and got sent to the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl. Let that sink in. You used 7 examples above, 4 of them are years that the top G5 team would have been included in a 12 team tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you watched the game, I thought Cincinnati competed incredibly well. Did you watch the game or just look at the score? watched the whole game....alabama played them like they were a jv team. could've won 55-6 if they wanted.

Agree to disagree. The result was never in doubt, I agree. But Cincy looked better than a lot of SEC teams did this year. Heck they looked better than Georgia did for most of the SEC championship game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More scholarships will give you more depth but having more of them isn’t going to automatically going to help you recruit elite P5 talent. Agree. That will come in time.

When the current contract expires. All the talk recently was about modifying the current contract before it expires. Which was always ridiculous because modifying a current contract requires unanimous agreement of all parties. No way that was going to happen. But creating a new contract is about balance of power and it looks like the power brokers want a playoff expansion. They'll just have to wait until after 2025.

The Bison were a completely different team in the first and second half of the season. They actually got back to Bison form just in time for the playoffs. Wasn’t any doubt from me what was going to happen this post season. It’s like Minot High stomping all of the little class A division schools. Not a contest.
