Secondhand story here: One of my best friends went to grad school at NMSU from 2009-12, a decision he's still .... yeah. He went to one Aggie football game — if memory serves, it was against one of Boise State's better teams — and at halftime, the NMSU marching band was introduced as "THE MOST DANGEROUS MARCHING BAND IN THE NATION"

The talk about NMSU reminded me that Idaho dropped down. Wonder how they're going to fare in the Big Sky? I'd imagine they'd be in the upper third, but not necessarily an instant powerhouse or anything. Are they anywhere approaching top 25 in FCS? Should be an interesting test case.

a ~top 3 coach in the country

My overall memory of it is somewhat fuzzy, but Tressel's tenure makes up the majority of the time in which I actually liked OSU football and my lasting memory of him (aside from the 2002 Fiesta Bowl) is he could steamroll a schedule made up of rent-a-wins and a largely awful Big Ten only to be average on the big stage. He got bitchslapped in two straight BCS title games (the first of which, ironically, to Urban Meyer) and his record in Bowls is .600, but may be less depending on who you talk to if you include the 2011 Sugar Bowl REDACTED.

Here's the run:
2001 L Outback
2002 W Fiesta (BCS NCG)
2003 W Fiesta†
2004 W Alamo
2005 W Fiesta†
2006 L BCS NCG†
2007 L BCS NCG†
2008 L Fiesta†
2009 W Rose†
2010 W (V) Sugar Bowl†

e- 2003 Fiesta Bowl representing the 2002 season is the exception, the 2OT thriller.

Maryland is fine when they aren't playing a literal linebacker at QB. Or was I guess we'll see what happens there. Either way this is disrespectful to Illinois

They were a I-AA playoff team before they moved up, I think they'll be okay. Outside of like two years they were way overmatched at FBS, this makes a lot more sense for them. Schools in that general region tend to do pretty well in FCS because it's such a pain on the rear end for FBS teams to scout and a lot of legit talent can fall through the cracks.

I love that 2006 National Championship game so much. That Florida team barely squeeked in to the title game by five hundredths of a BCS point. About half of the talking heads were clamoring for a Michigan-Ohio State rematch instead, and all of the talking heads had Ohio State easily winning. I was convinced Florida had no chance, considering they lost a game and had something like eight wins by single digits including barely escaping a bad Vanderbilt team and a mediocre South Carolina team. Then Ohio State had one of the worst performances I've ever seen in a championship game in any sport.

I thought the only Florida won was if it was a low scoring defensive game won in the last few minutes. Did not expect to absolutely clown them like that.

When Ginn returned that opening kickoff I thought the route was on. Then UF methodically went on a 34-0 run. lol

Hot drat did I hate that 2006 Florida team. Portrayed as some dominant force by the Urban-loving talking heads, and yet they won every game like 20-14.

That said.

They lost to Auburn, who had to seethe impotently when the Gators made the natty anyway because the Plainsmen were too busy patting their own backs and politicking to see a UGA asskicking coming their way. Something that would never happen ever again ever. So that was funny.

'08 Florida's the drat truth, though.

We watched different seasons. Everyone poo poo on the Gators in favor of literally anyone else except Gary Danielson, who actually made a fair comparison of the gutless B1G schedule that year and how UF had beaten a lot of much better teams.

And whaddayaknow, they fuckin murdered the dominant force in CFB that year and poo poo on the corpse.
