At this point in the season Ryan Malleus and Michael Gabaldon, CBS College Sports Network, have seen a lot of football. These college sports enthusiasts are on a 14 week road trip traveling the country tracking the ins and outs of college football. Malleus and Gabaldon started week 13 with a stop at the NAIA headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri on November 16, 2008, just in time for Selection Sunday. The two pulled into Kansas City with over 8,000 miles on their Pontiac Vibe and visited with the NAIA team responsible for setting the NAIA Football Championship Series (FCS). Malleus and Gabaldon enjoyed being behind the scenes as the top 16 NAIA football teams were determined and paired for the NAIA FCS opening round with kickoff slated for November 22.
