Haha yeah, the poster was the first to comment in the thread, and you jumped in right after before there were many viewers. Now there’s 5 reactions.

Whatever floats your boat man, FCS is just D2 without the montana and Dakota schools.

In the last 15 years there have been between a low of 2 and high of 16 fcs wins over fbs teams each year.

FCS wins vs. FBS teams: All-time victories, upsets, wins vs. ranked teams

FCS (and I-AA) programs have upset FBS (I-AA) teams time and again through the years. Here's a list of the FCS stunners against FBS teams.
www.ncaa.com www.ncaa.com

Looks to average 6-7 per year. Certainly the Montana and Dakota teams have some of those wins but not the majority by and sense of the imagination. Calling the FCS "D-2" is just and ignorant and insulting. But hey, if ignorant and insulting floats your boat, keep sailing.

It's an unfortunate truth that average CFB fans view or think FCS is D2, and what makes it worse is they are the largest fan demographic. I've had to correct way to many people about Montana and FCS over the years, the only place it doesn't happen are in States that don't have an FBS team.

Yes, there are a lot of FBS teams that would regularly get boat-raced against the top tier of the FCS if they played against them year in and year out. Did any of those FCS teams that managed a win against an FBS team make noise in the playoffs?

This is the transfer portal and NIL era of college sports, and the divide is only getting wider. The The Dakota and Montana schools (possibly include Idaho, Weber, oddball MV school) will continue to consolidate resources and talent, and the lower tier of the FCS, especially non-scholarship conferences, are going to get worse.

we played central Washington this year, is it not reasonable to conceive that Eastern, Portland state, and northern Colorado would be better suited playing against D2 schools?

Why would you care about this? I don't care in the least. Lets me know that they are ignorant about college football.
 
The reason this bracket looks good is because the Grizzlies are seated as the number 2 seed. Nothing magic about it.

Any bracket showing our guys at number two will look great. The rest of it will just fall into place regardless of which other teams are shown on that same side. The bubcat fans were whining because this one potentially sends them to the Fargo barn.

It’s a truth, but who cares? Can you imagine only liking the SEC or B1G and caring for only a handful of games each week? It’s nice when there’s boring FBS slates to have a variety of games to watch and enjoy and take interest in among both of those divisions. And Montana doesn’t have D2 and 3 but having so many NAIA’s and the history there is in the state gives even more opportunity for the non casual fans.

Would you rather play NDSU in Fargo in the semi's with a loss or the scats in Bozeman in the semi's with a loss? A win and your the #2 seed likely avoiding both until the Chipper... not to mention the Big Sky Championship, Brawl Trophy, and chance to go undefeated all the way through... Lot's to play for even with a loss this week... but boy a win sure would be sweet!

If you want to be great, you play anyone, anywhere, any time. They can't all be home games.

I think something along the lines of a Snowbelt conference really would be the ideal scenario.

As long as we are able to maintain our rivalry with the cats im in favor of any change that allows us to compete with schools that actually care about competing, have fanbases/gametime atmosphere, and a conference that doesn’t have shit refs.

I don't care if we maintain a game with MSU or not. I know the argument about "bowl games" v "FCS National Championship. I have never been to an FCS National Championship game and have no desire to go. I HAVE been to several bowl games and they are a blast.

I have been to the Fiesta, Cotton, Armed Forces, Military, Las Vegas, Spud Bowl, Music City Bowl, Dukes Mayo Bowl last year. They were all fun.

Because it's the cold hard truth..

You think fans in states like Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama , Ohio, Oregon, Colorado .. etc.. are ignorant about college football because for the most part they don't care about fcs football, that's laughable.

Why do you think any state
that has a fcs team and fbs team the fbs teams are going to out draw the fcs team by 5 to 10 times.

Doesn't fans of FBS schools believing that FCS is D2 demonstrate a level of ignorance?
