Going undefeated in the ACC will not get you a position in the Playoffs, but if you're a G5 and go undefeated in CUSA by playing the weakest schedule in college football, the committee will lazily grant you a NY6 Bowl.
If Herbstreit were truly advocating for kids who love football and would never think to opt out of a bowl game, he’d lose his snotty attitude about the G5. He’d drag his ESPN show to the Camellia Bowl.
Remember when G5 programs were upsetting P5 programs earlier this season and people were saying "wow, the divide between P5 and G5 has really merged" and then the AP and College Football Playoff Committee just ignored every G5 program that wasn't in the American?
Hi, ER Doc here.
If your nose is bleeding, DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK. This just makes the blood drip down the back of your throat and you will then swallow and/or choke on it. Pinch the soft part of your nose and TILT YOUR HEAD FORWARD. Please tell your friends about this.
Appalachian State deserves a

ranking. Beat the Tar Heels and the Cajuns on the road. Stop rewarding mediocre Texas A&M and assorted Michigan teams.

I like how we determined that universities are profiting from student athletes and that those athletes deserve compensation, and the answer was to develop a system where fans pay the players.
Why do we call ourselves the “Group” of 5? Five conferences dubbed themselves “Power” but we’re just a group? Mr. Mister was a group. We should be The Ourageous Five or The Heckuva Five or The Laser Shark Five or The Death Punch Five or The Bruce Dern Five or The Thanos Five or

Aaron Rodgers strikes me as a man who starts every sentence with "Actually..." then spends the next ten minutes explaining why yellow is a better color than red for fire engines.
Red Wolves 2017 was one of our most compelling seasons: Double Master Blaise, Wendy Beating Cancer, J'Von Challenging the Sacks Record, Justice Shattering the TD Mark, The Nebraska Throw Down, and a Title Game at the Cent. Pick a storyline. It was fun.
ESPN owns college football.
ESPN Gameday is broadcasting from James Madison on Saturday.
I'm pretty sure the NCAA will rule in favor of the Dukes tonight.
The Arkansas State Athletics Department has issued the following statement from Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Terry Mohajir, announcing that head football coach Blake Anderson is taking a leave of absence.
So far,

Rivalry Week has taught us that:
1) Troy ain't finished
2) Appalachian State is human and not a cyborg sent from the future to destroy us
3) Georgia Southern is back to top tier
4) Sun Belt is the most volatile conference in the universe

RED WOLVES GONNA GO 12-0 BABY!
Coastal isn't going anywhere. The Sun Belt fits them perfectly.
GSU has aspirations to move and the serious upgrade in facilities will certainly help that case. From a University standpoint, GSU doesn't fit the rest of the Sun Belt and it's only a matter of time...
Reminding you that Coastal Carolina moved its home game against FCS Campbell to TODAY, choosing to play the Fighting Camels on its turf on four days rest. Some programs just find a way.
My final point on
@ArkansasOnline
's failure of sports journalism; it's not your job to maintain the popularity of the wealthiest sports program. It's also not your job to squash programs that are vital to their communities and regions. Serve the state. Not just one program.
Butch Jones first 4 games of every program he's coached:
2007 Central Michigan: 1-3
2010 Cincinnati: 1-3
2013 Tennessee: 2-2
2021 A-State: 1-3
Butch Jones: 4 conference championships, 6 bowl games, 85–57 overall record. It takes time to build, people.
I think it's awesome that
@TXSTATEFOOTBALL
stands between us and a bowl game. Finally, this game has added value. The stage is set for heated rivalry. You will want to bear witness to it!

Some in the AAC have wanted to go big and take Texas away from potential Mountain West expansion.
It's hard to be too disappointed tonight. Red Wolves basketball delivered its best season in recent memory. The future looks terrific. Congratulations to James Madison.
Time for two solid months of arkansas fans fully expecting coaches from Top 25 programs to leap at the chance to head a program that kind of won a championship in the 1960s.
Nelson was incredible. Fields was outstanding. But Hicks demonstrated how badly his size and ability were missed. Just a massive road win for Bryan Hodgson and this program.
