Montana State beats Illinois State 35-34 in OT thriller in FCS final for 1st national title since 1984

Montana State finally found a way to answer when it mattered most for the program’s first national championship since 1984.

A year ago, Montana State missed winning its first title in 40 years when a slow start doomed it in a shootout loss to North Dakota State. Two years ago, the Bobcats’ season ended in Bozeman in the quarterfinals on a blocked extra point in overtime against the Bison.

Somebody needs to tell these people that they could be in the Ventures Bowl in front of hundreds of people instead.

Supposedly Montana is one of those mentioned to backfill the MWC after the PAC fiasco is done.

Didn’t even know it was on until I surfed by a little before 10.

I don't know why any of them would want to move up; they have a great thing going now and we know what is "above" them, chaos.

How much are they paid for this title and runner up slot is the million dollar question i suppose

[UL_Cajuns]

Until all of those playoff games are paid pretty damn good or at least half of what the FBS CFP pays out, no one is moving down to FCS and FCS teams only continue to want to move up to FBS.

[MarlinMan3]

True....i wonder what the criteria is to move down. And how many years do you have to wait to be eligible.
Teams could pull some funny math to pull that trick

They’ll all move up soon as some of you get your G6 championship wish.
