Minnesota

Minnesota: If Minnesota-Duluth was playing FCS football, it would at least earn a shoutout. Instead, Minnesota is our choice here. Second-year coach P.J. Fleck was a hot coaching commodity just a couple of years ago at Western Michigan, so it seems like only a matter of time before this program-builder elevates the Golden Gophers to a formidable Big Ten West player. -- Ben Kercheval

Go Gophers!!
 

UCF in Florida.

How the mighty have fallen. Many would have bet millions 25 years ago that couldn't ever happen...
 





Thank goodness we beat out [checks notes] Mankato
 

SUCK IT TOMMIES! SUCK IT JOHNNIES! SUCK IT MINNESOTA STATE MANKATO! SUCK IT BEMIDJI! WE'RE NUMBER ONE
 

Any word on what game they will use to raise the banner?
 

#1 out of 1.

UCF unquestionably, last year. This year? Not so sure it will turn out that way.


Most of the states are pretty clear cut. Can't believe Vermont doesn't have football, when Maine and New Hampshire do. Also think Alaska would support a DI team, if it were at a similar level as Hawaii and played home games in a dome stadium in Anchorage.
 



Travel cost budget has to be outrageous for any team from Alaska and Hawaii. I can Alaska with hockey, but not football.

Yes fair enough. Probably a big reason why there is no team there now. Also, because it would be a huge cost to build a domed stadium. Anchorage would basically have to vote to build it, don't think U of A could afford it, and think folks in that city would vote it down. Fairbanks is way too small to ever afford anything like that, plus not nearly enough people living way up there to support the team. Would have to be Anchorage. Anyway ...

Bemidji has never been good at football. One NSIC title in 06 and the NCAA still took Winona over them in the playoffs

Funny to see Memphis for Tennessee too.
