Do I agree with UIW getting in? Yes! Lamar? Nope, but here they are!

And San Diego is going to get boat raced. Lawrence is good but they are a Pioneer team. Just face it the the SLC isn’t trash anymore.

I know you didn't say this, but we do have a 4 team bracket. It's called the Semifinal round. We have a 16 team bracket as well starting in round 2 of the playoffs. Even if you included 128 teams, the final 4 would still be the exact same as a 4 team playoff.

Before you complain too much about your team missing the playoffs at your respective level. Take a look at the case of Midwestern State in Texas. They lost by 1 to the defending national champions and by 1 to an undefeated team. They were the last team left OUT of the D2 playoffs. As ursus usually posts around this time, you can't really complain about not advancing to the postseason once your team loses their third or fourth game on the season. Once you get past that point, it really could just come down to drawing teams out of a hat. Really the only complaint one can have is that there's another team that sucks more than your team. There's really no valid argument of strength for a team who has already lost 4+ times.

For me, I love this year's version of the playoffs. Valley fans should be rejoicing! There's no forced regionalization and no forced second round rematches! You could get 3 Valley, 3 Big Sky teams, or 3 CAA teams in the final four! Think about a couple years ago where basically every single 2nd round game was a rematch! We don't have that this year! I don't know about you, but to me that's pretty ****ing awesome.

The regionalization or lack there of it, is a pleasant surprise. They could have routed UNI thru SDSU and Montana St thru Weber St. which would have put all the MVFC teams on one side and all the Big Sky teams on the other side.

Kudos to the committee for mixing things up.

D2 is a totally different animal. 4 regions with 6 teams in them. Multiple conferences are in a region. Both Duluth and Mankato were undefeated in conference. Some regions had multiple 3 loss teams in. Sometimes 2 losses will not get you in.

I'm still salty over that tool chairman's explantion of why Colgate and Maine were both seeded ahead of JMU. Let's look at 1 game and base our entire decision on 1 data point. Who gives a damn that 1 team didn't beat a team with a winning record and the other has multiple losses worse than anything on JMU's resume. With that, I just assume we'd be left out in a 16 team field.

Here’s the thing I noticed voting in the AGS poll this year. Picking the top 10 was relatively simple. Quality was evident. Picking the last 10, especially 20-25 was tough. Every team at that level had huge holes in its resume along with some pluses. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the teams I’d decided should be in this group would disappoint the next week.

Im not alone judging by the revolving door for teams at the lower end the poll. Anyone who says Furman or Monmouth or Indiana State or (insert your favorite team here) got hosed because another sometimes good, sometimes not, but never excellent team got in and your equally unimpressive team didn’t, is just blowing smoke. UIW May get blown out by Montana State. Monmouth probably would have suffered the same fate.

Through the years, the fans of top teams have always parroted this BS. They believe their programs are the only ones with any quality or value and the rest of us should accept "second-class" status and keep quiet.

Before you complain too much about your team missing the playoffs at your respective level. Take a look at the case of Midwestern State in Texas. They lost by 1 to the defending national champions and by 1 to an undefeated team. They were the last team left OUT of the D2 playoffs. As ursus usually posts around this time, you can't really complain about not advancing to the postseason once your team loses their third or fourth game on the season. Once you get past that point, it really could just come down to drawing teams out of a hat. Really the only complaint one can have is that there's another team that sucks more than your team. There's really no valid argument of strength for a team who has already lost 4+ times.

Region 4 fans are still wondering why Midwestern wasn't chosen instead of Azusa.

Azusa Pacific 0
Tarleton State 58

Probably so, but when you have 12 auto bids for conference champions the NCAA rules are to have 12 at-large to match.There are only 10 autos.

Azusa Pacific 0

There was a stipulation in the selection procedure that even though there's no auto-bid, if you won a conference and were in the top 9 of the final rankings, you still got in. That was the sole reason why Azusa was selected.

Talk about a meltdown: Montana. Literally everything that could aide their playoff resume happened in the last two weeks, and the Griz lost on a fumble from the 1/2 yard line. Truly a microcosm of Montana football this season!

You're onto something with your Montana meltdown talk. If they only played 3 quarters each game, they'd be 10-1 right now. In their 4 losses to Davis, Portland, WIU, and MSU, they were outscored 81-15 in the 4th quarter and had 5 lost fumbles and 8 total turnovers in the 4th quarter alone. That's the definition of a meltdown. They just managed to do it 4 different times. If you count the near meltdown against UNI, they were outscored 97-15 in the final frame!
