as a possible HC somewhere, but got daym when youre the OC and only put up 23pts on Nichols State?! Hard pass on that idea...
 
Don't underestimate the Southland.

Best FCS conference probably. The top 4 teams at the current time could compete with the big boys.
Especially Sam Houston St and McNeese St.
Nicholls and UCA are not that far behind.

Nicholls is a solid team with great coaching.
 
Nicholls State
1974 to now NSU has only had 13 winning season. Southland is nowhere near the best FCS conference.

How many other FCS conferences get 4 playoff teams in.
SELA was a bubble team as well.
Without a doubt the Southland Conference is the deepest FCS conference.

Nicholls State's history of winning is a lot more recent.
New coach and with new found energy into their program.
If you ever want to experience a great gameday environment at the FCS level go to Thibodoux and watch the Colonels.
 
Look how Kansas is recruiting this year....
Everyone at KU needs to be gone even the team doctors.
Anyone connected to that mess should be fired.
There is no question about what the best FCS conference is.
They played 3 games against other FCS schools and outscored them 136-33.
Those were the bottom teams playing.
SE Louisiana almost knocked off ULM and UCA gave Tulsa a game.
The conference's best team Sam Houston St didn't even play.

Well the Southland doesn't get 4. They only got 3.

MVC got 5 teams in playoffs.

Your so called up and coming coach is only 16-18

Nicholls State from 2010 - 2017

2010 (4-7)
2011 (1-10)
2012 (1-10)
2013 (4-8)
2014 (0-12)
2015 (3-8)
2016 (5-6)
2017 (8-4)

By recent you mean last year. Which they promptly lost to South Dakota. A member of MVC.

I would rank your southland sissy's as 8th best conference.

Ranking the FCS - 2017
1. Missouri Valley Football Conference
2. CAA Football
3. Big Sky
4. Southern Conference

CAA Football or the Missouri Valley Football Conference? There’s really no right or wrong answer as to which is the best conference in the FCS.

The CAA had the final say last season when its champion, James Madison, defeated MVFC member Youngstown State in the FCS championship game.

Previously, North Dakota State captured a record five straight national titles coming out of the MVFC. Of course, that followed up the CAA’s run from 2003-2010, when it had seven finalists and four different champions during the eight-year span.

2018 - ranking
1. CAA
2. Missouri Valley
3. Big Sky
4. Southern
5. Southland
6. Ohio Valley
7. Ivy League
8. Big South
9. Northeast
10. Patriot
11. MEAC
12. SWAC
13. Pioneer
14. FCS Independents

It's a lot easier to call CAA Football and the Missouri Valley Football Conference the two top conferences in the FCS than it is to say which one is the best.

They're so close year to year.

The CAA and MVFC dominance especially comes into focus in January. Not only have nine of the last 10 national champs emerged from one of the two conferences - all but Eastern Washington in 2010 - but nine of the 10 finalists over the last five seasons - all but Jacksonville State in 2015 - are from them. They've also produced at least one finalist every year since the 2002 season.

Every other FCS conference is playing for No. 3.
