The First Domino Has Fallen

Allen is listed in the NAIA, since it appears they're still a member of the NAIA and the (non-football) Appalachian Athletic Conference this year. Next year they'll presumably begin playing D2 schedules.

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I must have misread their press release.

Small thing I noticed about this graphic - but D2 technically has three independents with the recent addition of Allen University. They joined less than a month ago. Doesn't appear to be any sort of announcement on their end just yet.

The only FBS team that I like less than SC is Notre Dame. So I do pull for the Trojans when they play them!

FSU in 2014

The ACC is right there, too. At least Clemson.

Runners up in 06 as well. Great game, one of the best.

But yeah, the SEC has been pretty dominant for the rest of the way.

Latest update from Reddit CFB. The old school UConn Huskie is cool!

Seems like Clemson coach Dabo Swinney likes the idea of fewer conferences possibly getting in the way of his team winning the national championship:

Dabo knows his Clemson team is really loaded and primed for another run at the national championship this year. Add in the fact that with fewer teams and games being available for competition for the big big dollar network broadcast, the teams (and conferences) that will be playing will be receiving a major money windfall for their programs. If they stick to traditional and competitive college football as we know it, it's pretty much assured that these games will draw huge ratings throughout the season. This is especially true due to the fact that real sports fans across the nation are very eager to see real competition rather than modified and entertainment.

True. SC won it in 2004. And as Kahn notes, Oregon was runner up once this century.

Runners up in 06 as well. Great game, one of the best.

But yeah, the SEC has been pretty dominant for the rest of the way.
