Re: **FCS (formerly I-AA) Football Playoff Thread**

How are the 16 teams picked? [/ QUOTE ] By a selection committee which historically does stupid things and exhibits a bias against newer schools. Honestly, this year's field are all pretty solid picks except for UNH. Should have been Norfolk State IMO

Flipping UNH with any of: Norfolk State, Villanova, Holy Cross, Albany, Alabama A&M or even non-scholly Dayton would have been okay with me. But really I don't think any of those teams are more deserving than UNH. UNH ranks 16th in GPI. That's ahead of all those teams I just mentioned. Sagarin has UNH ranked higher than all those teams except Nova. UNH also has 3 of their 4 losses to playoff teams (JMU, Richmond, UMASS). They beat another playoff team, Delaware and FBS Marshall. Their resume ain't bad. The committee did the right thing though, by sending the last team in to the #1 seed, UNI...despite the travel costs.

Re: **FCS (formerly I-AA) Football Playoff Thread**
Are we still allowed to talk about how stupid it is that they changed the name from 1-AA to FCS?
I know it's old news but it still bugs the crap out of me.

Also, we might as well also talk about how awesome the playoff system is here and how gay the BCS system is. If I-A had a playoff system it would make college football playoffs the best sports playoffs in the US....better than the NCAA tournament, profootball playoff, and baseball playoffs.

[/ QUOTE ] To be honest with you, it's growing on me. At least the new names are properly descriptive; it used to seriously life-tilt me to hear people describing a baseball or a basketball program as being I-AA (when the division only exists for football).

Re: **FCS (formerly I-AA) Football Playoff Thread**
history repeats itself for JMU... up 8 with 5 min to go and blow it by going for it on 4th and 2 on own 30 up by 5 with 3 min to go... and then blow it again after driving the field to the 10 for a GW FG and fumble. hard to lose that one.

You have the ball on the 10 yard line, set to kick a FG to win the game with 30 seconds left and you fumble. How does that even happen? The image of the ASU crowd going nuts (I was there) is burned into my head forever.
