Who'd you like to see...

[AshevilleApp2]

Other than your team or those in your conference, what team would you like to see break through and win the National Championship for the first time? (Hopefully in a couple of yearsxthumbsupx )

I'd pick Northern Iowa. They've had a strong program for years, I think five trips to the semis and one to the NC. And the fans I met in 2005 showed knowledge and class.

[Gil Dobie]

San Diego

[ButlerGSU]

da Citadel xsmiley_wix

(Yes, I broke the rules)

[AshevilleApp2]

That's what rules are for!

[AppHokie]

JMU...with at least one regular season early home loss

[thirdgendin]

JMU...with at least one regular season early home loss

They already have a national title.

I'd like to see William & Mary win one.

[MR. CHICKEN]

WEBER STATE

[Thunderstruck84]

Cal Poly, their coach and their fans (almost all of them ;) ) have been classy since I've known them and they're a fun team to watch.

[D1scout]

Western Illinois. They don't have the facilities most other top programs have but the coaching staff seems to get alot out of the talent they recruit. I also think Don Patterson is one of the most sincere and honest gentlemen I met in the recruiting process. He really appears to care about his players from what the players have told me.:)

Hey, we'll take another...xsmiley_wix


If I were going to break the rules, I'd totally agree with you about W&M.

But, in keeping with the rules, I'd probably have to say Wofford (I don't think they have one, do they???)

[nwFL Griz]

Oh, definitely Appalachian St.....oh my bad....:D

I'd actually like to see Hofstra win one, I've always thought they had a solid program.

[lizrdgizrd]

Davidson. My grandfather went there. :D

[ChickenMan]

The Citadel

[FightinBlue]

make that 2. The Citadel !!

[already123]

Besides NAU...I'd throw a vote out there for NDSU

[Wildcat&Chant]

I would love to see UNH at CCU for selfish reasons. I attend most UNH home games and have a son going to CCU. That would make for a great reason to go south for a visit.

[th0m]

Well I'd want to see JMU or a CAA team win the NC, but as far as OOC goes UNI, McNeese State and SIU are some of my choices.

[terrierbob]

Colgate

[ASU83]

Elon Phoenix, rising from the ashes!

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Cal Poly...or any other team from a conference without an auto bid

[Husky Alum]

Harvard, Yale, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Princeton

That would mean the oceans would rise as he-ll would have finally frozen over!

Seriously - NDSU or W&M - I've come to appreciate both programs in my visits to their schools when NU has played them.

[Tribe4SF]

The Hampton Pirates!

[eaglesrthe1]

Sav. St.

[B&G]

SC State... my girlfriend's school. Although maybe not since she's a habitual trash talker.

[Tribe4SF]

Harvard, Yale, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Princeton

I feel the same way about Northeastern.

Wouldn't it be great to expose the country to home field advantage at Parsons in a national semi-final game?xthumbsupx

Yeah, that would be funny - we wouldn't be able to play Friday night because of the neighbors - we'd play a Saturday afternoon and it would be quite a treat.

Exposing the world to Parsons Field could do more to popularize all of the negative stereotypes about FCS Football, however.

I think if we ever got to that stage and we wanted to host a game, the NCAA might persuade us not to!

[fjblair]

The Citadel xthumbsupx

[DFW HOYA]

Harvard, Yale, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Penn, Princeton

Columbia, perhaps, but Harvard or Yale could be legitimate playoff contenders should it choose to do so; and don't forget, reducing its loan thresholds makes these schools even more attractive for top recruits at that GPA/SAT level.

So, when it's Georgetown vs. Northeastern in the semifinal, where would they play?

[Husky Alum]

Do what they do in High Schools up here (since we both play at what many refer to as "high school" fields) and split the difference -

Northeastern vs. Georgetown @ The Tub!

I'm sure Delaware will announce the attendance at 15K regardless!

[mcveyrl]

The Hampton Pirates!

Another excellent choice!

[buckp]

UNI....thought 2007 was going to be their year. Would love to party with some of the Panther fans in 'Nooga after a win! xbowx

[TheBisonator]

I've always had a soft spot for the following three schools:

Eastern Illinois
Tennessee-Martin
Tennessee Tech

I'd like to see any of the three win it all, but if I had to choose one, I would say Tennessee-Martin.

[DLS]

UNCC FORTY NINERS

can not wait for them to play appstate.

[FargoBison]

In no order...Northeastern, UCD, Cal Poly, or SHSU

[asu7]

UNI ... NDSU ... and YSU I love penguins lol

Would not mind EWU either ...

In conference would be WCU and THE CITADEL

[Grizo406]

I'd like to see The Citadel get one.

I'd be more than happy to see GSU, or Delaware hang another one!

[uni88]

If I can't pick UNI or a Gateway team I have to go with McNeese State.

After that I would probably take EWU - it seems like UNI plays them in the first round every so often and I'll give them the nod as long as the road doesn't start in Cedar Falls.

[Seawolf97]

Youngstown State or our local rival Hofstra. That would be great for D-1 football on Long Island!

DUDE! Youngstown State has won FOUR national championships.

I'd take UNI as they're up there with McNeese in terms of frustration quota.

FYI, McNeese is, to my knowledge, the only program to reach the national championship game at least twice without winning one.

That is true. However I'd have to give the "Best program to never win it all" award to UNI, slightly over McNeese.

UNI: 16-13 record with 6 semifinal appearances and 1 runner up
vs.
McNeese: 11-12 record with 3 semifinal appearances and 2 runner ups

I'd vote these programs way ahead of all others.

[Mountain Panther]

Portland State

[stevdock]

I would vote for Cal Poly, they have played us tougher than anyone else for years. Also NAU since I got my Master's through them. And they actually won a playoff game while I was with them.

[HaveFunKc]

Passin' the feel good around... The Dolphins of Jacksonville University! xthumbsupx

[appmountaineer]

ND State, becuase they are finally eligible

[slostang]

NDSU and SDSU. Both great programs with fantastic fans (and former members of the GWFC).

From the west I would like to see Eastern Washington, from the midwest - Western Ill., from the south - McNeese State and from the east - W&M.

[da_Bison]

Cal Poly , UCD, SHSU

[furman94]

I know I'm breaking the rules, but FU's National Championship Trophy from 1988 is getting pretty dusty here in Greenville. The Paladin Nation would love for us to have another one!

[AppChicago]

Eastern Washington.

Also SIU. I know they won one in '83, but they're a strong team and a lot of my friends went there.

[ERASU2113]

UNI first
JMU second

[Thundar]

Cal Poly all the way, been a great team and conference mate!!!

[appstate38]

In no particular order.... Richmond Spiders, Northern Iowa and Eastern Washington. All tough teams that play hard....

[Cobblestone]

Since I can't pick a CAA team I'll go with a Patriot League team. In which case I think Fordham would have the best chance. As long as Masella stays that is.

[McTailGator]

:pumpuke:
San Diego

[AppStWill]

FAMU....I'd love to see the post game performance by the band.

[SeattleGriz]

Eastern Washington.

They seem to have the goods every four or five years, just not the experience.
