The New and Improved Division I College Football

When the Big East folded football operations in 2013, it sent a seismic shift across the landscape of college football and in its wake the majority of Division I College Football Schools were rendered meaningless. Today, over sixty schools begin the season each and every year with absolutely NO Chance of winning a National Championship. They have been told they will not be considered for the four team FBS playoff. Western Michigan’s undefeated 13-0 record during the 2016 season was only good enough to rank them #15. The Group of 5 Schools will not even be considered for the Heisman Trophy these days, just go ask San Diego State’s Donnel Pumphrey.
