James Madison is 10-0 in their first year in the FBS level. Due to NCAA rules they cannot play in a bowl. The extra scholarships make a big difference and and ISU do the same thing. Regardless of most of you that think that when you move up into the FBS you lose all your games. Congratulations James Madison for moving on and understanding what the big picture is all about.

You got $5 mil plus the cost of the extra schollies sitting around that you can make this happen? Also, which conference do you think we can dominate?

I find McAfee to be way too loud and obnoxious, but ..... he aint wrong. Any team that moves up and is good enough to go Bowling .. should be allowed to Bowl.

Moving down, answer changes to a firm no .. to clear of an advantage potentially.

That said about JMU, there is/was ZERO chance they are actually the 25th best FBS team in the country .. ZERO !!!!

Beat #44 by 2 .. and that is best win ?? But when you look at their results against the top 6 ranked teams on their schedule. Lost to #69 by 3 at home. Beat #82 by 4. Beat #83 by 8 at home. Beat #85 by 1. Beat #90 by 11. So against the best 6 teams on their schedule ranked #44 thru #90, the went 5-1 and won by total margin of 23 pts, for an avg margin per game less than 4 pts. How were they even close to #25 winning by so little against a Massey SOS ranked #103.
