Yeah Imperial was having a good season. Now after Castle they're in a 2 game skid. Just in time to get Vannish and implode in the playoffs.

At least it was a close game between two conference champs as expected. 15-13 would be a very interesting game in rl.

As a Mississippi State fan, you learn to not expect victory even in your easy games. See this past season where we lost to South Alabama, a game which was expected to be a blowout for us.

As an LSU fan, I hardly care about the other SEC teams' wins and losses unless they are tied or better than ours, but since I like Mississippi State and Vanderbilt they are the ones I usually want to win their games. I'm proud Vanderbilt has become Bowl Eligible and did decent this season. Hopefully they do even better next season.

Margaret felt like ruining your fun, you didn't sacrifice enough to appease her.

And we're bowl eligible despite a 5-7 record because... our team's smart or something? IDK. Anyway, we're going to an early small-time bowl.

My team has a snowball's chance in hell of making a bowl game. Fucking ND this year! >:(

Yeah, Mississippi State is one of the top six by APR so we still get a bowl game despite a losing season.

What happened with you and Michigan State y'all both suck this year?

by **The Redvale** » Wed Nov 30, 2016 9:12 am

At least you guys get to feel connected with a team

The college I grew up around is FCS and I don't even live in the same region now. My options for rooting for a local team are either a team that's two hours away and sucks, or the one that only recently got D1 status and should probably go back to D2.

I'm a fan by virtue of being a current student at Mississippi State. Was a Clemson fan because my mom graduated from there, and they're finally good once they're no longer my primary team.

How is Mississippi State bowl eligible? I'm not a fan since I'm an Aggie fan but I know a 5-7 record makes you bowl ineligible the same as University of Texas.

by **Valorem** » Wed Nov 30, 2016 9:20 am

We aren't bowl eligible by record. There's 80 slots for bowl games, and only 74 6-6 + teams, so the 6 5-7 teams with the highest APR (Academic Progress Rating) get a bowl.

How's that work I only thought it goes by win-loss and strength of schedule for bowl eligibility and which team goes to which bowl.

As an Aggie fan, how does it feel to never win against LSU since joining the SEC?

by **Valorem** » Wed Nov 30, 2016 9:29 am

Does Mississippi State seriously have a better record against LSU than A&M does? Last time we won was Dak Prescott's breakout year, and nobody expected us to win at LSU (but we did!).

I'm disappointed that we keep losing but I always have hope that we will prevail next time you can say I'm a humble fan. I do yell and scream at my tv when we do poorly but in the end I'm humble.

Hey, I hate to rain on the fun here, but this is the NationStates College Football Discussion Thread. You should probably talk about RL college football on the RL College Football Thread in General.

The Vikings were a punching bag this year, but there's still a lot of passion for football.

GSU Bid to Host the NSCF Championship Game

King Wulfric II Royal Stadium: Kolra, Central Region, Kaboomlandia

Capacity: 75,600 seats, could be stretched to 80,000 with standing room.

IC Information: King Wulfric II Royal Stadium is the biggest and grandest stadium in Kaboomlandia, with a seating capacity of 75,600 and being completed just in time for World Cup 75. Though this stadium does not normally hold gridiron football games, being the home of the Kaboomlandian association football team, it can easily be repurposed to host the championship game.

Oh please. My Irish had an arguably the unluckiest but also the most disastrous, disappointing season I've ever witnessed from them.

At least you guys had Dak for a while and can use him as a recruiting advantage.
