would have been Old Dominion...yeah, not really any better than most FCS teams.


Yep, they rank behind Nicholls State, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Indiana State, Maine, Montana State and Furman per Sagarin.

Again, my point isn't that this makes it ok to play FCS teams, I just don't see why people have divided to draw this magical line that FCS teams are somehow drastically worse than bad non-Power 5 teams. It's just kind of silly.

It is indeed. But I was surprised when I saw that all 14 teams had one this year.

There are people on this board who will argue that we'd be better off playing Rutgers or Illinois than Arkansas State because P-5. Perception matters far more than reality to some.
