My latest playoff predictions. Fans of the Southland and Big Sky will love it.

I don't think both Sam and SELA will get seeds. The winner of this weekend's game will decide which one will. No matter the outcome, I do see both along with McNeese in the playoffs.

Who do you see as the 8th seed then, Youngstown? I thought they lost out on that with their loss this weekend, and if they lose to NDSU this weekend I really don't see it.

Questions - if EWU loses one, and NAU wins out, both would have one loss, and neither play each other. How would EWU get the auto-bid?
Having NAU on the road in the first round? I hope not - we should be a seed right now.

NAU - as strong case as YSU, SELA or SHSU.

My original calculation had it so EWU needed to lose twice in order to make it.
If NAU was in a 2-way tie with Montana State, they'd lose on H2H.
If NAU was in a 3-way tie with Montana State and EWU, they'd be 0-1 against teams in the tie, and would fall out.
IF NAU was in a 2-way tie with EWU, I think it would depend on the teams below them in the tie (with a potential mess of teams with 2 conference losses).
If Poly ends up below Montana State, EWU wins the tiebreaker.
If Poly is equal to Montana State, the tiebreakers fall out and it falls to Sag (I think), which EWU wins.
So QED, yes, there is a possible NAU autobid scenario. It involves Montana State losing out, Cal Poly winning out, and NAU winning out.

You may as well come to terms with the fact that UM is going to get a seed after we win out. xthumbsupxxcoffeex

JSU, we're going to shock the world this weekend.

JSU is real interesting. If you guys do shock the world I could maybe see you as the 8th seed. Interestingly, I could also still see EIU seeded with a tough loss to you guys on the road.

Here is one Maine fan that would love it if this bracket worked out. Need to take care of Rhody and UNH first though to earn this sort of development. UNH will be no easy matchup in Durham.
