    There are a lot of FCS players in the NFL. Not as big a percentage as the big boys but significant.

    I said "for the most part" but I wouldn't call less than 20 a year going in the 100th to 200th round significant by any means.

    In 2017 there were 160 former FCS players and 71 former DII players on NFL rosters. DII player Carson Wentz was the second player drafted in the first round. If you are good NFL scouts know about you no matter what level you play on.

    You're running with the line here. I'll say again, the number of FCS players drafted is not significant in light of what I was comparing. The best teams vs the best and injury risk.

    FCS players on NFL rosters account for 10%. I don't call that significant. How many of those are even starters, anyway?

    With only 53 roster spots per team every spot is important. 10% is significant. Think about how much extra money to wouldn't have if you didn't give 10% of it to some holy pedophile.

    You realize that the SEC already plays one less conference game than the Pac12, the B10, and B12. Add in the number of FCS teams the SEC plays and you can understand that other conferences have been making your comment for a loooong time.

    Auburn did not go in 2004 because they played Louisiana Monroe, Louisiana Tech, and The Citadel. USC opened the season with games against VaTech, Colo St, and BYU.

    Agree with 8 teams, and no CCGs

    I like the conference championship games and I don't think they would give them up. They make money.

    Same. Nobody is giving up money, have to just add games. Take a portion of all profits to put money in escrow for players who are considering leaving so they get paid if injury costs them significant money. NCAA makes boatloads, it could be done.

    I do too, but it’s more risky for the conferences to then lose a potential playoff team. For example, if LSU wins the conference, is ranked in top 8, then loses CCG to a SECe team not ranked in top 10, and LSU drops and the other team doesn’t move up enough. That may seem far fetched for SEC teams bc of respect, traditionally high rankings, but not for other conferences. They potentially knock themselves out by having CCGs.
