I posted this in another thread, sorry for the duplicate, thought it deserved its own.

Can we stop grouping FCS schools together as "another FCS school"? Yes, CMU squeaked by an FCS team so I know I sound like an apologist. But Chattanooga is supposed to make a run this year after finished 8-4 last year. We as a conference struggle for respect, yet we are complete hypocrites and do it to FCS schools by saying they are just an FCS team.

2007 MAC Champs CMU - murdered by NDSU
2013 (maybe 2012) NIU - squeaks by EIU
2013 CMU (6-6) - squeaks by New Hampshire (made it to FCS semis)

Just some notable examples. Sorry for the rant but it's annoying. FCS teams beat MAC teams every single year. CMU escaped 20-16 against a good FCS team.
