If you don't understand why that argument is asinine you aren't real savvy with the FCS playoffs. If you don't understand why your reply is asinine then you aren't real savvy with the FCS playoffs. Ok I'll hold your hand. Whether a coach likes it or not playing a 12th game in a 12 game season is necessary. The reason is the added game essentially raises the number of games needed to qualify for the playoffs. You could quibble about whether or not the line of 7 games is real or not but the real story is the twelve games add a game to the wins necessary to be considered, because a 8-4 record is better than a 7-4 record if the rest is even between the teams.

Yeah. If it goes to 12 then it pretty much forces teams with playoff aspirations (I would include all MVFC teams in this group) into scheduling 12 games. Doesn't matter if they say it is optional or not, it will be held against you.

I think there is still room for a bye week in those seasons with 12 games because of the way the calendar falls. If they go 12 games all the time, I think they could lose the bye. Plus, in FCS there are smaller rosters than FBS so it makes a difference.

Plus, in FCS there are smaller rosters than FBS so it makes a difference. There would still be a bye if they went to 12 games. The season would likely start when the FCS kickoff games have been played (a week early). Or they would have the season end a week later and bump the first round of the playoffs back. No chance the eliminate the bye week.
