It's irrelevant to me what week it is or how early in the season it is. A win is a win.

The key here is "are talented." Not "are AS talented." It's just not that close.

I agree with you. Never said they were more talented or as talented. I believe my other posts back that up. They were the better team on those days they won though.

There are several interesting FCS versus FBS games this year.

Eastern Washington plays at Washington
Appalachian State plays at Va. Tech

Oregon needs to pick 1-3 uni's and stick with it. It's getting a little ridiculous. Should they go to FCS? Well if I was an EASTERN WASHINGTON fan I wouldn't want them to.

This is one most closed minded posts I have ever see...everybody isn't a huge bcs fan

Sorry dude. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. The majority of people who occasionally watch college football don't watch FCS games. That's the truth.

I like minor league hockey. Most people could care less about the AHL. I'm ok with that.

And for the record, I'm not a big fan of the BCS. AQ teams? Yes. But sometimes the TCU's are what makes it fun. But TV ratings would be in the sh!tter if Arkansas St. played SJSU in the National Championship game. Imagine if two FCS teams made it...

Compete with Idaho, Utah State, Arkansas State? Sure...but no one in the Top 25. If Appalachian St. played Michigan 10 times, how many would Appalachian of won? Ask a Michigan fan that. These upsets occur with slim margins very early in the year. Your argument about transferring students, you aren't taking into account the stomach punch some of them received knowing that instead of going to LSU, now I have to go play at an FCS school. How would that affect your motivation and confidence? I'm done arguing about this. Agree to disagree? Best of luck to your Grand Valley State football team this year. I stand corrected about the rule doc. It was the NFL, not FBS. P.S. The colored fields are still corny!

Well then I stand corrected as well. I thought it was an NCAA rule. In that case, I'm for colored fields to an extent. I think they should put a rule for a solid colored field, because in my opinion, the field of play should stay one color for regulatory purposes. As far as grass being green, well, it's not grass, it's fake turf.
