Always an interesting excercise to go through. What if it were bowls instead of playoffs? Would even a fraction of the drama have been created? (I don't think I'm giving anything away if I tell you the answer: NO! xlolx )

It's cool that Brown gets two bowl games...
(Probably want to schedule those on different days)

LOL! The positive news is that now DF will be happy... the 6-5 Flyers get a bowl invite! xlolx

If there are any others, I'm in trouble, as there's no more eligible teams! Time to reach into the 5-6 list....

This sounds like the perfect companion piece to this CSJ article:

Alot of Bison Fans would be unhappy! And we wouldn't have that mammoth NDSU vs. GSU thread!

Did this article get approved???

Two Southland Conference teams in the FCS version of the BCS? Not sure that certain people allow such a weak conference to get two teams in... ;)

Fiesta Bowl: North Dakota State (10-1) vs. Old Dominion (9-2)
Rose Bowl: Montana (9-2) vs. Northern Iowa (9-2)
Orange Bowl: Lehigh (10-1) vs. Central Arkansas (8-3)
Sugar Bowl: Towson (9-2) vs. Montana State (9-2)
Crystal Trophy Game: Sam Houston State (11-0) vs. Georgia Southern (9-2)

The reasoning behind Sam in the crystal trophy game is as follows: they would be the equivalent of an ACC team. If an ACC team is a top team, they would be in the crystal trophy game and the runner-up would be the next ACC representative (playing the Big East (Patriot) representative.)

I would watch more FBS games if they had a playoff system, and it would make games more meaningful. Nobody cares who gets the Idaho Potato Bowl Trophy.... or potato... coupons for french fries....or whatever they get.
