[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 956589, member: 1191"] In the current playoff scenario, ND not being able to play in a CCG and having an FCS team on the schedule means that a team like Bama who ends the season with an identical record has an extra game to push itself ahead of ND. This can potentially hurt ND where as teams in a conference can absorb it a bit better. This is why ND tries it's level best not to play FCS teams. Playing an FCS team also potentially hurts ND financially because they only have 6 -7 home games a year to sell to NBC vs the 80-100 games a year that a league like the SEC has to sell. CBS/ESPN/etc., can siphon off an FCS opponent game to regional television for the big conferences but NBC gets stuck with a crappy matchup on primetime TV. [/QUOTE]
