Quick poll on FCS vs FBS viewing

Post by MrTitleist »

Doing a quick poll for my own knowledge and how you guys feel about college football in general...

Do you guys consider yourselves FCS football watchers only?
Do you watch FCS and FBS?
Do you lean more towards FBS or FCS for your preferred football watching?
Who do you root for if you watch FBS?
Anyone a FBS season ticket holder?

This poll doesn't mean much but I always wonder how many of you guys watch FBS football as well. I watch a ton of FBS, more than FCS, but have a very healthy appreciation for both.

In general, if I have a choice (which is VERY rare), I'll take a FCS tilt over a FBS tilt. There are certain exceptions, though. I like Navy, and I like North Texas (due to their OC). If there's nothing else on (which is quite often the case), I'll watch a FBS game, but I won't like it as much as a Big Sky game. I would MUCH rather watch most of the Sky than just about ANYONE in the Bogus Computer System....

Am I an FCS watcher only?---Yes
Do I watch FCS and FBS?---I try not to watch much FBS but it is better than watching the Kardashians with the wife. So I do watch both.
Lean towards FBS or FCS?---Definitely FCS. I'll check and see Saturday morning what FCS games I have access to and I prefer to watch those. In Oregon, it doesn't take much effort to follow the Pac-12 given how much is forced on you, but I try not to follow it. I said last year that you could know precisely when Chip Kelly took a dump on his green and white Nike toilet, yet trying to find any information on the PSU depth chart is nearly impossible.
Who do I cheer for in FBS?---Given the saturation of the Ducks in Portland and the fact that my brother is in Corvallis, I'm a Beaver second to the Vikings.
Season ticket holder of the FBS?---No. I had opportunities to go with my brother to Oregon State games, but so far the last time I've set foot in an FBS stadium was when PSU played Oregon State in 2008.

Do you guys consider yourselves FCS football watchers only? Nope
Do you watch FCS and FBS? Yes
Do you lean more towards FBS or FCS for your preferred football watching? Neither, but since there is more FBS on I guess I lean that way.
Who do you root for if you watch FBS? Michigan, Nebraska, whoever is playing Notre Dame
Anyone a FBS season ticket holder? No - if you're a FCS STH it makes it hard to do another team too.

No

Do you watch FCS and FBS?
Yes

Do you lean more towards FBS or FCS for your preferred football watching?
Prefer FCS (Big Sky in general)

Who do you root for if you watch FBS?
BYU - Though it is unorthodox in this age of FBS, I find it intriguing that they are able to go independent, get $$$ contract with ESPN and have been able to build the schedule they have with the larger FBS conference teams. That said... if BYU is playing Alabama, and SUU is playing MSU... I'll take the SUU defeat of MSU every day of the week :thumb:

Anyone a FBS season ticket holder?
Not I, but I am an SUU season ticket holder :D

The only non-NFL football I watch is FCS. I really don't care about any FBS teams at all.

For me, in terms of how much I watch and how much I care, it's FCS>>FBS>NFL

Do you guys consider yourselves FCS football watchers only? Not at all. I watch all college football. I love watching the Gamecocks or the Fighting Irish battle it out. But you know, I grew up going to Citadel games and love the small school atmoshphere.

Do you watch FCS and FBS? Yes, See previous answer.

Do you lean more towards FBS or FCS for your preferred football watching? If on TV, i'll watch FCS over any FBS team UNLESS Uni. So.Carolina is playing. :mrgreen:

Who do you root for if you watch FBS? South Carolina Gamecocks, Notre Dame, Clemson (when they are playing against the SEC with the exception of the USC/Clemson game), Oregon is fun watch as is Georgia Tech.

Anyone a FBS season ticket holder? That's a negative, Ghost rider.

I forgot to mention Texas A&M. For some reason I've always liked that team.

I watch a lot more I-A because that's what's on TV without paying for it. I tried to watch some Penn/Harvard on Saturday, but it was unwatchable.

My stance on it as well.

Sadly the majority of the FCS games available on NBCSN, Fox College Sports, ESPN3, etc... are shitty games with shitty teams, in shitty stadiums with shitty attendance, with shitty production quality.

I watched the UNI/MSU game this past weekend and flipped over to the ISUr/SIU game on Comcast Chicago afterwords. That is a game that had my interest because of conference but the quality of production was very good so it kept me watching. I still watched more of the Michigan/NW game though.

I tried to watch SUU @ Weber St a couple of weeks ago when I couldn't make the trip to northern Utah to see it live... Weber had NO audio, they had 2 cameras running and I have 1980's home video's of myself as a kid that are better picture quality :?

Sometimes I'll flip to the Iowa or Iowa State game if it's on and I have nothing better to do. Never really have any urge to watch any other FBS games.

The only time I really catch an FBS team play is when they are playing an FCS team. Just don't care about it at all and that's much more than I care about NFL.

I'm pretty excited...

Do you lean more towards FBS or FCS for your preferred football watching?
Depends on if EWU is in the mix. If they aren't I'm mostly going to pay attention to FBS.

Who do you root for if you watch FBS?

USC. Ucla. Oregon. Manzel.

Anyone a FBS season ticket holder? Fxck no.


I think another interesting question would be WHY people don't pay as much attention to FCS ball. Seeing that it's just as good of a product on the field. Especially big conf and non conf match ups. Like EWU vs Sam Houston. Or montana vs montana state. Or suu vs NAU. I think I know the answer.
