Says the guy who played an FCS in Portland State, a 5th place Sun Belt team in Idaho, and Rutgers who shouldnt even be in a p5 conference...

Good call putting down Rutgers. What gutless P5 conference added them anyway?

Uh, the B1G schedules FCS teams as well...

They aren't allowed to anymore, but kept the ones already scheduled I think.

Pretty dumb of them IMO, and I bet we see it change in the next 5 years.

Won't change Princesses.

Especially after Iowa got slapped around by an FCS school this year.

As for "pretty dumb". Obviously rhymes with "my conference is a bitch".

Congrats to the OP for starting a "my conference is better than yours" thread.

You certainly are a pioneer.

This was one of his favorite topics on Rivals, so get used to it.

Uh, the B1G schedules FCS teams as well...

Not beyond what was already scheduled.


How dumb are we? At least add somebody competent like Boise St. to the exemption list if you're going to violate your own rules.

Great...don't call out other conferences for scheduling fcs teams until your own conference mates stop playing them.

As 4Down20 said, the contract was previously signed. Please read all these game announcements that occur ten years in advance of them being played.

ADs don't just send out a casting call the week before for an opponent is to be found.

I'm laughing alright. I'm laughing that the B1G considers Fresno St. a P5 team. That's like calling an apple an orange.

btw last time I checked, Rutgers was in the B1G. Is the B1G no longer a P5 conference?

probably shouldn't be playing the FCS, but I don't mind if its someone fairly local, help out a team in the area, we just played Tennessee St who are right here in Nashville, last year we had Austin Peay just up the road, but (no offense Oregon but it was the first one that popped into my head) Oregon schedules Tennessee Tech I think I'd draw the line there if i wasn't going to go away from playing them at all




and yeah get used to this, it's his shtick

I see what you mean a little. The only FCS team Ohio State has played is Youngstown State and that was basically Tressell giving money to his old school through Ohio State. Wasn't happy about it but wasn't mad either. I don't want them to play anymore tho

I say the conferences need to go the completely opposite direction. Let P5s schedule all the FCS teams they want for OOC games...or even junior colleges. If the networks and their own fans are willing to fork out the cash for crappy OOC games, so be it. Buyer beware.

Army really???I will give you Air Force and Navy but Army.. When was the last time they had a winning record? And nothing against Fresno, very tough out traditionally, but when was the last time they won their own conference title? Yes I know the article was about Fresno being counted as a P5 by the B1G.... Yes that is pathetic. I would say 90% of fans hate playing the fcs schools but making threads about non conference schedules constantly gets old.....

No FCS was announced in 2014...tons of time to find FBS opponents.
