500 subs 85k view is wild keep pounding brotha!!!!

People are ridiculous about this question. The division between top D2 teams and bottom level D1 teams is WAY closer than you think. Combine that with a team that has great team culture, a solid set of coaches and you suddenly have a game that wouldn't even be CLOSE. I believe that you are right Gage. This game... isn't.... even.... close. Harding would SMOKE McNeese State. Great breakdown of this matchup!

[emorg]

EASILY.. winning culture has nothing to do with division. Not to mention a lot of D2 players were either D1 or had D1 interest.

[McClintonforThree]

My guy McNeese State literally lost to a D2 school (UWF) 3 years ago.

My son play d2 ball in ok for NWSU and that Harding team is in the same conference they got destroyed, trust that team is like like a mid tier d-1 athletes all over the field

St. Thomas (MN) went straight from DIII to DI FCS last year, and finished 8-3. The difference from DI to DII to DIII is definitely there, and on average the talent and ability goes in that order. However, the best FCS schools can compete with good FBS schools, the top DII schools can compete with average DI schools, etc.

Matt Stafford wasn’t the qb when the lions went 0-16 😭

I personally play for an NAIA basketball team and we’ve beat a division 1 school the past 2 years. Look us up. University of Tennessee Southern Men’s basketball. And the D1 team (Samford) that we beat, ended up winning the regular season in their conference.

I played QB at Wilkes University D3 started 2.5 years and we had two preseason games one against Iona who is a 1AA school and I only played the first QTR because it was preseason and I was the starter. We scored on TDs on both possessions and then after a 14-3 start they fumbled in the red zone we recovered. We ended up losing 31-17 but if it was 1s v 1s we woulda won in a close game

[JeremyHodowanic]

d2’s have beating FCS teams before. A matter of fact d2 Texas A&M Commerce almost beat fbs utsa a little more than a decade ago. And if we wanna cherry pick, it happens a lot with pioneer league teams (since they’re a d1 conference that doesn’t award scholarships for football) but it’s basically a glorified d3 at that point

[aaronloehr]

Ferris State also played a Nationally Ranked FCS Montana, and only lost by a TD. The Best teams in D2 Super Region 3 could easily beat a chunk of FCS schools.

[ArenaTeams]

Ferris State lost by 7 to one of the best FCS schools. That's it. Case closed, question over. Harding creams McNeese

[Calebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb]

This isn’t even a question, a real question would be could the best D2 team beat the worst FBS team(Kent State, Kennesaw State)

[joshw]

In 2020 COVID year, D2 East Central beat D1 FCS #21 ranked Tarleton State. East Central at that time was just average D2.

Harding would demolish McNeese State.

[broncobilly]

Yes. Easily. The best D2 team would smoke the worst D1 team. The D2 champion has more developed talent, more chemistry, and more confidence.

[DoubleBruhMoment]

D1 FBS is really the only division that has a major talent difference, FCS D2 and D3 Could probably compete with each other the way all the FBS schools compete with each other.

[mew]

Easy rule of thumb: bottom 25% of fbs is same as top 25% of fcs, bottom 25% of fcs is comparable to top 25% of d2, and similar d2 vs d3.

[jackreilly]

it just happened, a mid d2 team beat a d1 team

[krhazymonkey]

I think a better question is, could a top D3 school beat a bottom D1 school?

Watching this from the town where Harding is located. Proud of my city.
