BTW, there's a rumbling out there that TCU scheduled Cal-Davis. No official word yet. I've read all those figures, and quite frankly they don't amount to squat. So you're saying TCU didn't schedule Cal-Davis? I always love it when people come out and say, "The facts mean nothing to me unless they s...

remember him? the unwanted/indicted bama booster???

You were my chief suspect, actually, or at least some Bama fan.

You mean 12 games.

I suspect we will see many instances of teams winning two national championships in all of our lifetimes.

I suppose we didn't understand our arguments anyway. I wouldn't be suprised that a top-notch 1-AA team could beat a lowly MAC team. Eastern Michigan just suffered a defeat against Eastern Illinois 2 years ago, so that's kind of obvious. I would still take the bad MAC team, but it would be a draw re...

The ACC may be the most competitive with the toughest over all group of teams. The ACC, again, were tops (with B-12) in bowl wins...the ACC has the best bowl winning percentage over the last six years (and all time). The best bowl winning percentage over the last 6 years belongs to the Big West, fo...

I would have thought the difference would be more then that. Nice work on the stats. Just goes to prove that bad is bad at any level. The fact that 81% of the time the top level major beats the top level mid major proves that parity at the highest level is exaggerated. Mid majors have made strides ...

I-AA teams beat mid-majors at about an 18% rate, mid-majors beat majors at about a 20% rate, so I suppose you're right, there is a larger gap between I-AA and I-A than there is between mids and majors. Not much, though. I would say that the gaps between 1AA and the mid majors would be higher if the...

I know they have taken their lumps in a lot of those games, but they have also won some and played a lot of them tight. There is more of a difference in 1-AA and D-1 then there is between the mid majors and the majors. In my opinion the MAC is making great strides in trying to become competitive wi...

Fine. But if you take out Buffalo (who is 9-48 since rejoining 1-A when they play like a D2 team), that's still a winning record. The odds would be on my side. Eastern Michigan used to be pitiful, Kent State is pitiful, and Akron used to be bad. The Zips since 1995 have been 3-1 against 1-AA compet...

19 of 20, yeah it's an exaggeration. Ball State sucked last year because of the suspensions. I don't disagree with you that a team like Northern Iowa could upset a team like Eastern Michigan, Ball State, Kent State, or Buffalo, certainly Buffalo, but I'd take my chances with the MAC team. But Akron...

I have to disagree with that. I'd take Ball State beating Eastern Illinois 19 out of 20 games. Not just beating them, but beating them up pretty bad. The gap is pretty vast. The top 10 1-AA schools could compete with terrible 1-A schools, but beyond that, it can get ugly. And to compare the MAC to ...

2004 was the banner year for the Sun Belt. They've step back in remission. Troy was at least competative prior to 2005 and North Texas was actually a decent team who fell far down. The Sun Belt in 2005 was a matter of which teams weren't the worst, not which were the best. I've been pulling for the...

The Big Ten has only played 29 I-AA teams in their history, next year they are playing 8. While it's not much different skillwise than playing some of the MAC teams, it is disappointing.

You know why.
