Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2025219, member: 289"] FINALS MATCH-UP The FCS championship game will be played at Noon on January 7th in Fisco, Texas and will be televised on ESPN2. JAMES MADISON 13-1 (672-304) ranked #5 / lost to North Carolina 28-56 / 12-11 (1) Vs. YOUNGSTOWN STATE 12-3 (438-291) ranked #13 / lost to West Virginia 21-38, South Dakota State 10-24 and North Dakota State 3-24 / 32-10 (4) I always wonder about “Cinderella teams” when they get to championship games. There are all kinds of reasons to think they cannot win those games but they are the same reasons they weren’t supposed to get to those games in the first place. The Dukes will be the clear favorite and deservedly so but do the Penquins have any miracles left? FINALS James Madison steam-rolled their way to their second national championship, melting the Youngstown State Penquins 28-14 by dominating both sides of the line of scrimmage. They built up a 21-0 first half lead and put the game away with a third quarter drive to make it 28-7. Youngstown scored with 10 seconds left to make the final score more respectable. Did James Madison deserve to be champion? I guess so- they beat the #1 ranked team 65-7, the five time defending national champions, who had won 20 games in a row, in their own place and then dominated a four time national champion in the final.
