Update

Well hello...its been a while. You miss me? Probably not but hey I don't blame ya. But i'm back...sort of.  Here lies the biggest issue with doing a sports blog...the offseason is hard. Gotta brainstorm and come with with shit and some things sound good then you go ewww. my problem not yours, but I do think I have something so lets share it.

Sidenote, I hope to get the podcast going soon, just not sure if I want to mirror what I write on here or stick to topics that would be easier to yap about for 20 minutes instead of typing.

So what I have planned over the next few weeks is my rankings of the conferences, talking about one at a time from the one I believe is the weakest to the one I feel is best, trying to get two per week though if I'm going good I'll try for three. The format of these breakdowns will go as follows:

  1. Placement reasoning
  2. 2017 Recap
  3. Playoff/National Championship contenders
  4. Teams to add/subtract
  5. Best/Worse
    • Stadium
    • Fan Base
    • Tradition
    • Uniforms
  6. 2018 Outlook
I might add something else to that, especially that best/worst section but we shall see.

I do have a few other topics of discussion planned, some I really think are outside of the general conversation, but I've been debating on whether or not to have them here, as the first couple of podcast episodes or do both.  Pretty sure how things go with the conference rundown will determine how I go about things with that. Anyways, that's all I got for now. I hope to get the first conference out of the way by the end of the week. And a hint of what's to come...its one of the HBU conferences. Alright lets get to work

The weekend that was....(Part 2)

Here I am back again...did promise you more. My thoughts on the field of 24 and ranking them 24-1 from least likely to win to most likely to celebrate in Frisco, TX Playoff Selection Thoughts Look, I know, with me writing this I'm playing a "Monday Morning QB" deal but the committee of 10 had one hell of a time picking 24 teams to get in the playoffs. Not everyone will be happy but hey, that's part of the job So getting the nice nice out of the way...the fact that Nicholls, New Hampshire, and S. Dakota made the playoffs is just mind blogging. All three lost their last game, Nicholls lost on the road to SE Louisiana and New Hampshire got shutout by 4-7 Albany. But even while those are bad, the worst entry was S. Dakota...ending a season at 1-4 shouldn't give you a playoff team. But the weirdest twist, all three have a chance at deep runs and two host a playoff game The team with the loudest beef should be Austin Peay. Good story aside, to go 7-1 versus FC...

Quarterfinal Predictions

Not gonna lie I probably should have done this for the entire playoffs but I had been on the fence about doing something like this. We will see how this goes and if I actually get this out before the first game which is in about 3 hours. Maybe if I get the first one out I'll post then update as I go along. But anyways onto the predictions. NO scores or anything like that just what I'm looking out for and who is gonna come out on top. There are some very interesting matchups for the Quarterfinals as only one is really considered a mismatch, and that is only because its NDSU in the FargoDome. Outside of that these are very evenly matched teams who in one case mirror one other so closely. As talked about in the last post, home teams so far in the playoffs are 15-1 and most of the games haven't been close. I will say this, I have at least one road team winning this weekend Onto the picks: No. 7 seed Maine (9-3) at No. 2 seed Weber State (10-2) Kickoff - 8 p.m. ET    Co...

So that's it...2017 season is over. The dynasty continues as North Dakota St won its 6th national championship in 7 years, more on those guys later. The playoffs as a whole were, to quote an old coach "not too stinky" While we got the end matchup everyone hoped for, getting there left a lot to be desired. That's not to say we got a good meal, but if we are being nit-picky about things the playoffs are the equivalent of some dishes not having and seasoning and others have a bit too much. The Bracket This one is the one big gripe from me and almost everyone in the land of FCS. The playoffs this year  were this weird hybrid of seeding with regional requirements that almost guarantees we get conference rematches, an unbalanced bracket, a some team really gets the shaft. This isn't some new problem unfortunately, ever since the playoffs were expanded first to 20 and now to 24 teams, we have seen a bracket and matchups that too often look slanted. In James Madi...
