IDK if it's a given that we'd always make the playoffs at 12-1. We don't exactly have a great football reputation at this point.
Even replacing an FCS team with a Sun Belt team theoretically might make a difference to the selection committee.
I hate playing FCS teams. We should never play a team that Al Golden couldn’t possibly lose to.
I especially hate playing teams like FAMU and Savannah State. Those teams are bad even for FCS.
