The butthurt is strong over there. Sound a bit like bison fans (I refuse to use the z).

It really isn’t fair that 2 people have to play an entire state.

Just proves we need a division in between the Alabama’s, USC’s and Georgias and the southern Utah’s, Portland states and furmans of the world.

As long as we get a real playoff & don't have to play in the Podunk Bowl at the end of the season.

I saw one of their fans said this game would be a toss up if played in Williamsburg. It's like dude, it would've been the same thing regardless of where it was being played. CAA is not an elite conference anymore. 5 teams made the playoffs from CAA, and only one didn't get blown out

So much better it’s almost laughable. But don’t wanna be branded cocky.

@Prodigal Cat
Yes. I posted more details in a couple other threads. Here’s a summary. Ratings are from Sagarin. Let’s say that their victim Charlotte (#163 in all D-1) was not quite as good as Oregon State (#16).
16 Oregon State A = 84.26 (Montana St. FBS game, MSU loss)
56 South Dakota State AA = 72.44 (quarterfinalist)
63 North Dakota State AA = 71.50 (quarterfinalist)
75 Sacramento State AA = 68.16 (quarterfinalist)
85 Montana State AA = 65.99 (quarterfinalist)
88 Incarnate Word AA = 65.30 (quarterfinals)
97 Coastal Carolina A = 63.95 (challenging or suspect?)
98 Weber State AA = 63.80 (challenging or suspect?)
99 Liberty A = 63.50 (challenging or suspect?)
117 Samford AA = 59.74 (quarterfinalist)
120 William & Mary AA = 59.09 (quarterfinalist)
135 Holy Cross AA = 56.20 (quarterfinalist)
157 Elon AA = 51.64 (William & Mary loss)
163 Charlotte A = 49.22 (William & Mary FBS game)
