3. Who wins the matchup between Doug McDermott and Tony Mitchell?

One is college basketball's leading returning scorer and a popular national player of the year candidate. The other is one of the best defenders and rebounders in the sport and a potential lottery pick in next year's NBA Draft. Creighton's Doug McDermott and North Texas' Tony Mitchell meet Friday at 8 p.m. EST in Omaha in an under-the-radar matchup that should be one of the most intriguing of opening weekend. Creighton returns four starters and a handful of key reserves from a team that won the Valley tournament and reached the second round of the NCAA tournament last season. North Texas has Mitchell, promising sophomore point guard Chris Jones and high-scoring perimeter shooter Jordan Williams, more than enough talent to win the Sun Belt and pull some surprises too.

  Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?
  
  First college football game I ever attended? That would be John Hufnagel. The QB at my first UNT game (about 22 years later) was Mitch Maher.

  The way for this to work is for the super league to get to 20 teams. Then a follow up division with the other 110 programs or possibly there is 3 tiers. Super league 20 teams they all play each other. Yes a 19 game longer season. 50 teams league 2 60 teams league 3 You play with in your league but at the end of season 5 teams switch up down. Bowls trophies and rivalries somewhat preserved. Yes 4 super league teams drop down each time with risers taking their schedule. GMG

  I want to be FBS, but the current environment is ridiculous. I keep thinking of FCS and the following that schools like North Dakota, South Dakota, and JMU (prior to moving up) have cultivated and I kind of think it would be fun to be involved there as well. We will never be able to throw enough money at football and we won’t cheat like smut, so I am almost resigned that this is where we will end up and I don’t hate it.

  Of course it’s the same thing as 1-AA. If you don’t have a chance to play to be the best in the country. You are second tier. if you want to argue that we’ve always been 1-AA I would not push back.
