They probably won't, but they should.

I really hope ND would turn down a freaking Pizza Bowl invite. The only exception would be if we hired a coach quickly and he wanted to coach the bowl game - then maybe I could see it to help get the players acclimated.

i really don't think oklahoma st matters. they have 2 losses in a mediocre conference and don't even sell out their own 60,000 seat stadium. iowa and penn st are clearly better options. Deserving or not, I think Penn State gets selected over Iowa for an at-large bid.

ND smearing Liberty 81-56 in the opening round of the Chicago Invitational with 7 minutes left. Harangody's day ended early, but he still scored 32.

I will fill in the FCS playoff info when it becomes available.

Interference in the end zone. Lions score and win. Good job Browns. How many times do you get 37 points on the board, and you still lose?

The Colts are the luckiest team in the league this season and it's not even close.

Quinn engineers a 14-play, 75-yard TD drive to put Cleveland up 37-31 with 5:44 to go. Quinn is 20/31, 291 yds, 4 TD. Finally, a good day.

I started the Falcons and Giants Ds against each other in fantasy and left the Skins on the bench. Oops.

Safety as Stafford called for grounding in his own end zone.

Ball State (Punter U) may have another one. Reggie Hodges just booted a 50-yarder to pin the Lions inside their own 5 in Detroit. The Lions then penalize themselves back to their own 1.

So according to the NFL.com game tracker, Phil Dawson is playing QB for Cleveland.

Browns run a fake FG with under 30 seconds to go. They're not messing around today I guess.

Now here comes Matt Stafford. Who had 41 first-half points in the pool?

LOLions. 8/9 151 yds 3 TD for Quinn in a quarter. Bad day for Detroit.

Thank God Brady Quinn's at least good enough to light up Detroit.

Apparently, the FCS playoff selections will be announced at 3 pm ET tomorrow on ESPN News.

Miles took way too long to call a timeout before a 3rd down play, they ended up at 4th and 26, miraculously converted but only had 1 second left with no timeouts and Miles made the colossally stupid move of NOT sending the FG team on for a last-second attempt.

Great throw by Masoli. I'm kind of rooting for Arizona. Would be such a thrill for their students to get their first Rose Bowl bid ever.

No TV for this one? WGN, but only locally.

Harbaugh really screwed the pooch at the end of the Big Game. Why would you let Andrew Luck (10/29 at the time) throw when you're in the red zone, have plenty of time to score, and have Toby Effing Gerhart??

Les Miles is a terrible, terrible football coach.

It was over after Navy. So who is the leading candidate for the job? I hope they get someone good. Stoops's interest is rumored, he's the guy I want. Brian Kelly is the presumptive favorite and probably the guy who will be hired. Those are the only two that have been directly linked so far.
