Bonus Pick – Who wins the 2024 FCS National Title?
Matthew: South Dakota State is going to win again. They are putting together a dynasty like the NDSU Bison – and the only team that can stop the Jackrabbits are the Bison.
Jeff: If NDSU beats Colorado in that opening game, I’ll go NDSU. South Dakota State will be right there too. Let’s go with NDSU. [Editor’s Note: Well, done, Jeff – you’ll be asked back lol.]
Ethan: NDSU – because of Matthew. [Editor’s Note: Well, done, Ethan – you’ll be asked back lol.]
Dan: Since Matthew went SDSU, I’m gonna go with his team and say North Dakota State. I think we’ll see a re-emergence of the Bison this season. The FCS is run by the Dakotas these days. [Editor’s Note: Well, done, Dan – you’ll be asked back lol.]
Sam: Gotta roll with the Grizz this season. They were just a step below SDSU last season, but outside of that showed how superior their athletes can be. If Montana can manage to get home field advantage again throughout the playoffs, I think they finally get back on top of the FCS mountain. [Editor’s Note: A good non-Dakotas pick.]
Ben: A football team. (I don’t follow the FCS.) [Editor’s Note: Could have picked NDSU loser.]
Tim: South Dakota State. Jackrabbits have tons returning on defense and at QB while also having plenty of talent ready to step up. Montana was very tempting as well here but QB questions feel bigger there than some of the questions that SDSU has. [Editor’s Note: A good pick.]
Ben P: I don’t really follow FCS, but North Dakota State sounds good to me. Haha. [Editor’s Note: Well, done, Ben P – you’ll be asked back lol]
And that concludes our panel this year – thank you so much to the participants!
