Me too. Although I thought it might be cool to have the FCS champ play the FBS champ the first game of the season. But what I would do is to open up two games each season to play two random non-conference opponents of similar strength. I think that would go a long way to helping gain a better picture of just who the best teams are.
I would predict that NDSU would lose to Alabama by the same margin that Alabama would lose to the worst NFL team.
