Okay for what it's worth..

The surprise here is that I predict either or both Delaware and/or S. Ill will lose if so, a strong Southern Conference and attendance will bode well for a top seed..

1 - N. Iowa
E Washington

Delaware - H
Delaware St


4 - Montana
W. Illinois

S. Illinois
N Hampshire


2 - McNeese St
Elon

GSU
Richmond


3 - ASU

I really do not think the Griz schedule is any more difficult considering we had two common opponets and we beat one of them by MUCH more than the Griz did.


McNeese Avg Margin of Victory = 22 points...

What is the Griz's?

Personally I don't think ASU gets a seed today. My seeds as of today are UNI, McNeese, Montana, and Delaware (apologies to SIU).

But in the debate of #3 vs. #4, really doesn't matter and the committee would likely pair #1 with #4 to match up for regional purposes. Even if the "real" #3 team was closer to the #1 team location wise they would likely get the 4 seed.

For starters you barely beat Portland state. We had our way with them.
Yea they have gotten better and so have you( should be) and so have we. So that is very relative.

Western Illinois can't get 7 Division I wins. Eastern Washington has to beat Northern Arizona and that's no gimme. I think James Madison will be in over New Hampshire, if they win out. JMU beat New Hampshire. Still a chance both get in. And I think everyone is sleeping on Alabama A&M's chance of a receiving a bid. If they win the rest of their games, AAMU will be 9-2 with 8 Division I wins. Only losses will be to a ranked Grambling team and a narrow overtime loss to Jackson State. AAMU should be in the discussion.

Not true, a seeded team is not always a conference champion. ASU is likely 6th in line for a seed right now. UNI, McNeese, Montana, Delaware, SIU, and then ASU. If ASU wins out and 2 of the others not named UNI lose I believe ASU gets a seed.

Still a lot of football to be played by all teams involved. Good luck to Richmond, Montana St., NW St., and Ill. St. xsmiley_wix.

EWU is a lock if they finish 8-3. The Selection Committee will take a 2nd team from the Big Sky before they take a 4th team from the SoCon or a 5th team from the CAA. The Committee has a history of attempting to balance the field with conference participation. This year will be no different.

I'm confused as to why people are taking UMass over UNH as a foregone conclusion. Both have bad losses (NU, @URI), but UMass hasn't played the schedule and don't have the quality of victories that UNH has. It'll be a great game, and surely an upset if UNH wins, but there are a lot of assumptions that they're done here, which seems foolish.

At 7-2, UMass looks a little closer to clinching a bid than a 6-3 UNH.

Weber State

All will get home games, and all will win. Semis will be an all-BSC affair.

UMass922
November 4th, 2007, 10:02 PM
UMass is in a much more precarious position than people think. In 2005 we were cruising for most of the season, were highly ranked, and most people were calling us a lock for the playoffs. Then we lost two games late--including the season finale at Hofstra--and didn't get in. A team can go from being a supposed "lock" to being out of the playoffs very very quickly.

This season is starting to feel eerily similar. We have two very difficult games remaining: at home against UNH this week, and then--surely enough--at Hofstra. Both of those teams always play us very well, and the way we've been playing lately, I'm not assuming anything. Even if we split, I don't think we're a lock at 8-3. We'll be on the bubble and it will all depend what happens with other teams--especially in the SoCon and the CAA South.

The only lock is for a seed is UNI, their opponents for their last two games are IN St, and SUU (a combined 0-19). Montana and McNeese have to win out to secure seeds, because one loss for either one of them and they are knocked down a level.

agreed... i believe that numerous teams will be waiting in the wings if montana or mcneese losses one... deleware, siu, asu, gsu to name a few have a chance to jump in there and take a seed if either of them lose... and i didnt realize what uni had left on their schedule... if those really are their only two games left then yes I would say they are a lock for a seed but the only lock at this point

The loser of the UNH/UMass game is probably not going to make the playoffs..unless the CAA truly gets 5 in. I think JMU, Delaware and Richmond are in, unless JMU falls to someone else. JMU has quality losses to Delaware, Richmond and UNC, while UNH would be out at 4 losses and UMass would be 7-3 with a loss to URI and a game against Hofstra. If UMass beats UNH, they're in. If UNH beats UMass and UMaine, they're in. Things will take care of themselves this weekend. If UMass knocks UNH off, Hofstra is in control of their destiny again, suddenly. Should be an interesting Saturday.

If we win out we are SoCon champs. We may share it with one, two, or three other teams but we would be co-champions at the very least. The head to head comparisons only count when considering the auto bid, not the seeds.

That being said, I don't see us getting a seed unless two teams ahead of us in the rankings now lose a game they are not expected to lose. IMO, our best hope is for Montanta State to knock off Montana. Outside of that game, it's very hard to see any of the other teams ahead of us losing.

Hofstra is in control of their destiny now - they're 7-2 with two games to play - they win out they're 9-2 and in ahead of anybody except probably the winner of the UD/Richmond game. Of course, they have to beat Northeastern in Parsons and UMass at home, but they don't have to rely on any other results to get in.

Great point, Hofstra's playoffs started last week with the William & Mary game. The 'nova debacle threw a wrench in the works, but still, i figured with our schedule 9-2 was a must with a must win over UMass. Gotta love the CAA

You can't get to 7 D-I wins...(from other thread)...Even if NAU had 7 D-1 victories what would you put on your resume for the selection committee? We lost to an FBS Arizona team, we lost to an undefeated Montana team, we lost to the then #1 App. St. team? Or that your wins have come against only 1 team with a winning record (that's saying you would have beaten E. Wash.). That doesn't include the D-II team...or the 29 point loss to a 1-8 Sac.

Also if Delaware loses this weekend to Richmond there is a good chance we can get a seed... I think we may get a seed over SIU

You might if you have the same record at the end of the season.

Then the Committee will look at SOS, Sagarinxnonono2x, and their own internal poll they have been keeping for 3 weeks now, then reward who they feel is best with seed.

I understand that in the first round games home teams are based on money, but is this also true for seeds? For example, with Appalachian leading the nation in attendance at 27K per game would the NCAA want App to have atleast 2 possible home games by giving them a seed? Or is the seeding based solely on the top 4 teams regardless of money?

The seeding is not supposed to be based on $$$... however.. it does make the world go 'round. :)

Without the AQ ASU has no shot at a seed. The two losses are going to hurt those chances.

Some people seem to be having trouble understanding that the AQ means nothing to ASU when the committee is seeding for the playoffs.

Since bids for hosting are required by this weekend, does this play into who gets a bid? And no I don't trust the NCAA.

Not entirely true. It is very rare that an at-large receives a seed over the AQ from the same conference.

Couple of thoughts from this whole thread:

Undefeated Montana will still get a 2 seed - the NCAA wants the $$
Last seed will goto CAA winner, SIU or Southern winner


If Montana were to lose, would there be anyway Delaware could get that 2 seed?

I feel that in all tournaments the 4 seed gets screwed. Because they most likely have to play the 5 and 1 seed. When they deserve to have an easier road. But they do get 2 home games, which is good for someone who has season tickets to Delaware. I really want Montana to lose and Delaware to somehow get that 2 seed (Good things have come from the 2 seed).

If Montana lost and Delaware won out, maybe a 3 seed behind UNI and McNeese (if they stay undefeated).
