    But per the Man rules and bylaws... if they can't even get into the D2 playoffs, then they can't hold the title.

    If I'm not mistaken, GV at the time was competing in NAIA at the time, and thus, not eligible to be The Man.

    reigning D2 Champs and the local GR news to film their next win and GV spanked them in a revenge game as in the previous years (75) matchup NMU ran an illegal play to beat GV late in the game knocking GV out of the NAIA playoffs and propelling NMU into the D2 playoffs - so GVSC was the man through the end of the 76 season into the 77 season when they lost to Bowling Green 6 to 17 - thanks

    Well, here I was about to update the list, but seeing that I was missing a lot of stuff from the early years on the original list. some sort of data cooruption perhaps. Thankfully, I did back up a lot of the pre-2000's stuff. Gotta look again for what happened in 2018 to now. But I'm kinda swamped with a bunch of stuff, one of them being a couple of CE classes that I need to have knocked out by the end of the month so that I can keep my MT licence. But yeah, Grand Mother Loving Valley is THE MAN!!!

    Ferris State University now currently holds the title of "The Man" now.

    I'm pretty sure I had all of the dates from 1980 to present all filled out, I used this website here.... http://michigan-football.com/ncaa/ncaa_ii.htm and I pretty much used that site from there on to determine "The Man". It does get harder to figure out when teams moved up back then, but usually poking thru their older media guides will give you the dates you need, and you also might fight the info to confirm what division a school was when it played somebody who may have been a holder of the title belt then. If anybody can fill in those missing dates or track it back from an earlier champion, it would be a big help as well. In theory here, all NC winners were the Man, even if it was just an interim title.

    I think I've stumbled across another website that will make it much easier to track it down all the way to the original "The Man" Louisiana Tech in 1973.

    Bump.

    God I still hate that Ferris won the championship last year.... Has 2 a days started yet???

    Yeah, one of these days I'm going to clean that up more and add in the championship games as well, even if the Man came in holding the Belt and walked out of it.
