None of these will probably every win a national championship from this point on, but...
I really like to watch Service Academy Footall -- Army, Navy and Air Force.
I have directed TV football games for years, and always enjoy the academy games because the players are playing for the love of the game -- not big pro contracts.
It's not impossible (Roger Starbach for example), but very seldom do you see an academy graduate in the pros. It's difficult to put a 6'5", 350 lb. lineman in the cockpit of an F-16, you know.
They're just good, smart kids. And the pagentry around the games is inspiring. I also like some of the smaller conferences, like the MAC for many of the same reasons.
It's not a business...just a game.
