Ivy League in the FCS playoffs

Having the Ivy's would add some juice to the FCS playoffs-just for the name recognition alone. It might also generate some interest in Ivy League football, which judging by the attendance of most of their games, needs a boost. But will they tolerate being beaten by a directional commuter school or a cow college in the playoffs? Might be a bridge too far for them.

Imagine if EWU ever got good enough again to not only make the playoffs but host a game and Princeton, who played in the first game ever, had to fly all the way across the country to lose to them on the red turf during finals week.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!
