The CSN Way: A No. 1 vs. No. 3 Championship
By Chuck Burton, The CSN Way Columnist

For years, the FCS national championship game has featured teams that have not been ranked No. 1 going into the playoffs ending up playing for the Division I National Championship. But this year - in a twist of fate - we find two No. 1 teams vying for FCS championship this Friday at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The FCS Coaches Poll ended the regular season with Montana at the No. 1 spot, with Villanova voted by coaches at No. 3. But the Gridiron Power Index, an index of ten FCS computer and human polls, had Villanova at No. 1 and Montana at No. 3. One thing’s for sure this Friday: a No. 1 - and a No. 3 - will be national champions.

Which one will it be? Check out the full analysis of the FCS Championship game right here.

I hope Chuck is as accurate with his prediction as he was with the score of the 2000 NC game.

Praytell what was Chuck's 2000 prediction. He wasn't with CSN at that time.

I like that it is a "close game" but he gives Nova 11 points...Maybe just a late td?

He recounted (not predicted) the score as 35-27, and predicted a Nova win.
The actual score was 25-27.

Praytell. xsmiley_wix

I enjoy that he gives the receiving corps advantage to 'Nova, perhaps that's because they weren't asked to do much all season so they're well rested.

Doesn't that mean they haven't been "battle tested" (the CAA mantra for why the Griz can't win)?
