Yeah, if Wofford, Albany, Villanova and Furman all make the quarterfinals, that​ would be the worst thing that could happen to the Big Sky.

If ursus would just let me submit my poll on Sunday afternoon, it would be balls on accurate.

They're not supposed to do first round rematches.

I agree SCST should have been in.

No conference had ever had more than 2 seeds until last year.
Last year they got 3. This year they got 4. Still no other conferences with more than 2.
Not a complaint; just an observation.

They...

The Selection Committee doesn't schedule the playoffs.

Anyone not in the MEAC....

Bravo. My first literal LOL on these boards in a long time.

This stat should automatically pop up on AGS whenever someone posts that the committee is disrespecting the MVFC.

Why? Those are the non-conference and common opponents. You completely missed the point. If you were doing a blind comparison between two teams with 7-4 records...
Did they play each other? No
Did...

Didn't you read Chuck Burton's article, ripped from the pages of the National Enquirer?
The whole JMU theory was debunked almost immediately. JMU was infamous for low-balling their bids until that...

Bingo. The whining about "disrespect" of a league that gets more bids and more seeds than anyone else (except maybe the Big Sky) over the past 6 years is comical. Perhaps a sit-in at the selection...

I was referring to the 2013 expansion to 24 teams. I think you're being a little punitive by just looking at Top 4 seeds in the semis, too. Just because a Top 4 team didn't make the semis doesn't...

I don't think there are "a lot of problems" that need to be fixed. Regionalization isn't going away, so seeding the Top 8 and pairing the rest based on geography is fine. They already lose too much...

Yeah, that 2016 Richmond-North Dakota game was close and required a big 4th quarter comeback. We didn't "whip" them. That Richmond team was pretty good and probably would have been seeded if they...

Wow. I thought my ideas were pretty accommodating. Apparently there is no room for compromise.
Sigh. I'm out. Nobody is conspiring to keep the HBCUs out. I'm on the record wanting broader playoff...

Yeah, yeah, the NCAA is always keeping the MVFC down.

In the 6 playoffs since the 24-team format, the CAA had two seeds in each of the first three years, and one seed in each of the past three....

R.A., I am all for everyone in FCS to be eligible for the playoffs. HBCUs and Ivy League, too. But this sure doesn't sound like you're willing to meet the NCAA half-way. What do you propose?

Let's...

In the last decade? Definitely more than 6 from the CAA. I think the CAA has had more than 6 in the semifinals.

It has not.

In fact, 3 seeds from one conference has only happened once - last year (Big Sky). I was surprised when I looked this up that the MVFC has never had 3 seeds.

That's what I just said - he was back on redshirt in 2017. The "burning" wasn't a big sacrifice.
So starting a recruited QB instead of a walk-on for the playoffs indicates we were scared of A&T. Got...

I'm not sure there is a problem that needs be "fixed." If the committee follows its bylaws and guidelines, W/L record is the #1 criteria. It should work itself out. "Team #25" is always going to be...

That's not the point I was trying to make, but OK. I was just saying the last two MEAC reps weren't exactly being pitted against App State like they were last decade. If you read the whole thread,...

Since the field expanded to 24, only 4 unseeded teams (from 3 schools) have advanced to the final four. None of those four were a "bubble" team. So all the debate over the last few in/first few out...

Very good. Mine too. They deserve credit for stepping up OOC and winning. I was referring to the playoffs. Their last two forays into the postseason did not go well, losing twice in the play-in round...

That's true, but the MEAC has been given the benefit of the doubt in the polls and by the committee more often than not, and they are still 0-(a big number). Tough draw or not, at some point you have...
