Should that happen, the BCS will probably give an ultimatum to expand from 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually agree on this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better find a way to win against the Yougstown State Penguins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
