Pigskin Punditry No. 2: Non-BCS Order Of Finish
They are often the forgotten members of the college football world, hidden away from the glare of the media.
They are located in remote outposts like Bowling Green, Ohio; Provo, Utah; and Troy, Ala.
Okay, I know not all of the schools from the Non-BCS affiliated conferences are not in remote locations. Nobody will ever call Boca Raton, Honolulu or Salt Lake City remote in the real world.
But in the crazy world of college football, that is not the case.
From a football perspective, if youāre in the WAC or the Sun Belt or the MAC, you tend not to exist to the average fan. But there is some very good football being played at these schools. They just need a little national love and attention.
Here at Pigskin Punditry, we will try to give equal time to all members of the Division I ā FBS family.
