Cinci would not have made the 12 team playoff if they didn’t have the rankedvNotre Dame win. A 12 team playoff would likely come with autobids. Would an autobid be set aside, whether explicitly or implicitly, for an undefeated G5 team? I think maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G5 has not earned autobids to a 12 team playoff let alone some of the P5 conferences…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not autobids for each G5 conference, just one that is set aside for a USF/Cincinnati situation where a G5 team is undefeated and should get a shot in the tourney. It may not matter though, depending on how they choose the entries into a 12 team tournament. If you’re undefeated, even most G5 teams would be ranked in the top 12. If they ever moved to a 12 team tournament, I would feel much better about an FBS move for NDSU. It might take them 10 years to get there, but with an FBS budget, FBS scholarships and everything they goes with that, I could see NDSU finding it’s way to a tournament berth on exceptional years.

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

And again, if the playoff would expand to 12 teams, this would have been a year when NDSU would have been in the mix for a playoff spot. To play Georgia. Or Alabama. Or Michigan. Or keep playing Western Illinois, whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum 3-5 I would say. Rarely more than 3. I’ve never been behind the idea that the only purpose of a tournament is to declare a champion. I find just as much interest in matchups along the way. Take March Madness as an example. Of course, crowning a champion is ultimately the purpose, but look at the teams that claim multiple sweet 16 finishes, Elite 8 finishes, Final Four appearances. The romanticism that comes from a small school lining up against a big school, regardless of outcome. I think college football has always missed this point. They’ve only ever cared about one thing, who’s the best. They miss half the equation with this line of thinking IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The fact that Dom bases his whole argument on “if” FU was in the Mountain West and “if” they went 12-1 and “if” they won the conference title game and “if” the playoffs was at 12 teams “than” they would have been considered for a playoff spot is comical. The amount of FU fans eating that up and using it as a “valid” argument on why they need to move up is even more funny. literally any FCS team could make that argument cause it’s all hypothetical. also Dom, the commissioner of the Mountain West will leave the table when the P5 commissioners tell him/her the meeting is done. Not when he/she gets their demands met. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to validate it to the common fan with 5 “ifs” in a scenario is funny don’t you agree.

The fact you are even arguing a pretty deep “what if” scenario is equally as funny. If FU was in the MOuntain West and if they would have gone 12-1 in the regular season and and if they would have won their conference championship game if the FBS had a 12 team playoff than I suppose FU fans and Don are right, they would have been considered for the playoffs. Reality is none of that happened and every FCS team could make the same argument. Instead of throwing a pity party of “ifs” move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ONE underdog wins in the first round it's the sports news biggest story for the whole week and the beauty of it is, it's very possible. But I disagree that the only thing the NCAA cares about is "who's the best." The NCAA cares ONLY about money and a 12 team playoff makes more money than a 4 team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only defending the idea of speculating about FBS football for ndsu as a general statement. What else are you going to write about if you’re Dom Izzo? As annoying as it is to outsiders, ndsu winning 9/11 I’m sure makes it hard to find something interesting to write about if your him or think about if you’re a fan.
