Trivia question: Without looking it up, can you tell me which team scored the most points on D-IA "National Championship" contender Alabama Crimson Tide in 2011?

Answer: No, not Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, Florida, or Penn State, but rather D-IAA ("FCS") playoff contender Georgia Southern Eagles, with 21 points.

The 11-2 Eagles take on 12-1 North Dakota State in the D-IAA ("FCS") Championship Semifinals this Saturday afternoon at 2:30PM ET. You can rest assured that Erin Andrews and the College Gameday crew won't be there, but that won't stop me from watching the dramatic action between these two fine programs. Lose and you go home, win and you get to play again.

In the other real playoff game, 11-2 Montana University takes on 13-0 and #1 ranked Sam Houston State on Friday night at 8 PM. Southland Champs Sam Houston weren't given a free pass to the big game despite their undefeated record and top ranking. They will have to earn their way to the Championship.

Yep..decided on the field, the way it should be...a novel concept.
