Thank you for the frank, collegial discussion, guys. I realize I'm the only one (that I know of, anyway) pushing for a 24-team playoff with all leagues getting auto-bids. Sure, there will be some blowouts, but IMO completely defining out the upset is bad because the upset provides for great playoff ...

I have faith that JMU will either win or at least make it a much more competitive game than those dummies at ESPN give them credit for.... While a win is too much to hope for, all of G5 should be rooting hard for Tulane and JMU to make it somewhat competitive- within 2-3 scores. If both are boatrac...

Please note that I did this BEFORE the Conference title games. My predicted winners are bolded. Am I even close? And please no "24 is too many arguments." It's the only way I can see to get a REAL playoff where every conference gets an auto-bid and the upset is defined out. I'm also ignori...

Like many HBCUs lately, the Southern Jaguars are going the former-NFL-star route by making College & NFL Hall-of-Famer Marshall Faulk their new head coach. Faulk's only coaching experience, however, was as Colorado's RBs coach under Deion this season. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf...

The word I'm hearing is that unlike the mess at MS, JMU will allow Chesney to coach JMU if they sneak into the Postseason Invitational Tournament after Dook takes VA (and all the ACC) out of the running.

Delaware and Missouri State become bowl eligible in their (I think) first tries. Congratulations! Technically speaking, they are not "bowl eligible" due to transition rules. However, they ARE allowed to accept a bid when there are fewer officially bowl eligible teams than available spots....
