You are correct, and I oversimplified. I should have known someone would’ve gone FCS on me.

But I’d point out that all of those schools, when their championships are mentioned, always receive the qualifier of “Div II Champion” or “FCS (fka Div I-AA) Champion”, whereas Duke this year in basketball will be known as the national champion. But at the same, if you ask the average sports fan who football’s national champion is, he’ll tell you Alabama, despite the fact that this is a BCS-awarded championship and holds zero weight with the NCAA. ‘Bama can add it to the other 450 or so national championships they’ve claimed to hold.

Brad,

Not true: http://www.villanova.com/sports/m-footbl/nova-m-footbl-body.html

Not to mention the division II & III champions.

I do admit to being biased. I have a nephew that just finished his football career with Villanova. And yes, I realize that about half* of the I-A** teams play at a higher level than the best that I-AA** has to offer.

* Some might say most, but after following I-AA for five years I would have to disagree.

** I dislike the FBS and FCS designations to put it mildly.
