I'd throw in that COI won the NAIA basketball championship in 2022-23. Their football program is consistently good, currently a contender for a national title, (if they get out of the tough Frontier Conference that is)

Yes I should have mentioned that, but I was also trying to avoid drifting too far from the CFB focus. Either way, it's a pretty impressive school overall.

If the Cascade could be persuaded to add football, they could get to the auto-qualifier with CoI, Southern Oregon, Eastern Oregon, Arizona Christian, OUAZ, and newcomer Simpson.

It was huge for the Frontier to add Dickinson as a high-level full member which also protects them from losing their football AQ if that scenario were to occur.
