EWU was a top 5 team most of the year, and won their conference championship. They didn't need that last expanded playoff spot to back into the playoffs.
If you want to argue that EWU's title run was watered down, then the only logical argument that makes that statement true is that EWU benefited from playing weak teams that were not worthy of being in the playoffs in previous years. (like NDSU)
You just slammed NDSU, and you didn't even know it. Dumbass.
As usual, I win.

Re: Comprehensive List of FCS over FBS wins?
You beat everyone you played dumb ass. They all were part of a watered down field, even EWU. An easy bracket up you say? Your win is diminished not only by your own crowing about lack of competition but the other "complications" as well? I think your trophy should be buried.
In the mean-time, whats important to me, is the record of the FCS wins over the BCS. NDSU has recently won 2 of those games. those are big wins that help define the program, and as this thread shows, the entire division, at least when considering the important programs.

Again, if you feel like you need to argue that the field was watered down, then you must admit that it was mediocre teams like NDSU that watered it down and lessened the field.JBB wrote:You beat everyone you played dumb ass.

Congrats on NDSU's BCS wins. That is exactly 1/3rd of the amount of BCS wins that UNI owns, but I'm sure it is a tremendous achievement for your school.

I remember reading the teams considered for the last spot were NDSU, Liberty, Jacksonville, Dayton, and ODU...just to put into perspective the selections you were competing against.

What's your point? Not our fault that your school was too small-time, and was not ready to play with the big boys 30 years ago like UNI was.JBB wrote:NDSU has been playing BCS/FBS teams for almost 4 yrs now!DJH wrote:

Its the trend line thing again. Our trend line for BCS/FBS success is a lot "steeper" than UNIs. NDSU is a hotter program thats all.DJH wrote:What's your point? Not our fault that your school was too small-time, and was not ready to play with the big boys 30 years ago like UNI was.JBB wrote:

So I guess all the major college teams we played before 2006 don't count? I know NDSU lost almost all of those games but all of a sudden they don't count?

Re: Comprehensive List of FCS over FBS wins?
Here is the NDSU record against current BCS/FBS teams. Most of games occurred in the era before divisions when it was just college football. A few games came during the period of Small and Large College Football. The most success has come since the distinction of divisions in 1974FargoBison wrote:So I guess all the major college teams we played before 2006 don't count?
