NDSU moved up because they were scared of Chicago State football
Chicago State has announced a 10-game schedule (six FCS, four sub-FCS) for its inaugural 2026 season.
The Cougars joined the NEC last year, but are not part of the conference schedule in their debut.

Best of luck to the Bison at the next level. Still feels completely surreal that the dominant dynasty is now gone.
Is 2026 the most wide open the FCS has been in years?

To be fair to Coach Hauck, watching the Bobcats win a national championship and dominate Cat-Griz the last decade has not been a pleasant experience for most of the Montana faithful.
So it’s not just him as head coach not enjoying it anymore.

Bobby Hauck officially ends his career:
* The winningest coach in Montana’s history
* The winningest coach in Big Sky history
* Tied for 2nd most appearances in a national championship game at 4 (along with K.C. Keeler, Chris Klieman, Jim Donnan, Erik Russell, and Roy Kidd)
* The winningest coach in Montana’s history
* The winningest coach in Big Sky history

Obviously will be waiting to hear more, but the timing of Hauck stepping down seems quite odd so hoping all is well for him and his family.

Per Skyline Sports:
“Bobby Hauck expected to resign as Montana's head coach on Wednesday.
Wide receivers coach Bobby Kennedy will be the head coach. One source confirms that Kennedy will have no interim tag… will serve as UM's head coach in the fall of 2026.”

Reminder that Lou Holtz got his start as a HC at William & Mary, compiling a 13-20 record from 1969-1971.
But that record also is comprised of a 9-4 record in the SoCon, including a conference championship in 1970 and a second place finish the following year.

If Cignetti learned anything from his time in the FCS, it’s that if you have the lead it’s best that you secure the win with an interception!

It’s the offseason already so screw it. Here’s another game thread for the CFP since the @redditcfb.com quarterly threads are going to be bombarded and might be hard to follow.

If Curt Cignetti wins his first National Championship tonight, his agents oughta demand an addendum to his contract:
Indiana will be required to schedule at least one team a season coached by Matt Entz or KC Keeler as long as they’re HCs in D1.

Awesome to see MSU continuing to honor Native American heritage throughout the season.
Whether today at the National Championship celebration, or earlier with the dope MSU American Indian Council’s logo helmets, major love!

Tarleton wants to be thought of as one of the big boys.
But after last year’s playoff fizzle, their scheduling is saying otherwise. Instead of toughening up, their FCS OOC opponents have averaged fewer than 5 wins over the last two seasons.
Sure, wins are wins. But c’mon now.

Best thing the NCAA does is not automatically accepting that the private CFP as the official designator.
Now whether because they don’t allow every worthy program access (see 08 Utah or 17 UCF) or just don’t get their beaks wet, that’s different.
Congrats to the 25 FBS National Champion Hoosiers!

Congrats to the Indiana Hoosiers, who are now mathematically guaranteed at least a share of their first National Championship in program history. The Colley Matrix, an NCAA-recognized championship selector, would keep the Hoosiers on top even with a loss to Miami.

Cignetti’s 2nd of 3 losses to D1 Champs in 3 years.
The other 2? Both 9-4 Fresno State’s Entz.

The longer this Indiana thing goes, the more confused it starts getting that Cignetti’s JMU—undoubtably National Champions in both 2019 and 2021—lost to Matt Entz’s NDSU both seasons.
And heck, they very well could’ve won it 2021S had Keeler not out coached him the 2nd half.
