I hope the committee doesn’t view the top 8 in the same way ags does or JMU’s half of the bracket is considerably harder. So much for getting a benefit from being #1.

Austin Peay would lose to either team. Can you think of any teams more deserving of being ranked this season? I can't.

[Cocky]

Austin Peay would lose to either team. Can you think of any teams more deserving of being ranked this season? I can't.
Not so sure AP would lose to either.

[Fear the Bird]

What has Delaware done to “deserve” to be ranked? Beat Stony Brook? If one decent win is the only qualifier, many teams would “deserve” a look

[GoBlueHens83]

Austin Peay would lose to either team. Can you think of any teams more deserving of being ranked this season? I can't.

I agree with this. There just are not that many teams that are clear cut Top 25 worthy.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

What has Delaware done to “deserve” to be ranked? Beat Stony Brook? If one decent win is the only qualifier, many teams would “deserve” a look

There are probably gonna be a team or two get in without one decent win so yes this year it seems like the final couple spots might come down to that one decent win and over SBU is a pretty good one.

If this Delaware team makes the playoffs, it’s time to scale this thing back

This.

[MTfan4life]

Nope. More football is good for many reasons and it harms nothing. Why do you hate football?

I originally liked the expansion because there was more football, but I think it needs one major switch. No conference rematches in the round of 16. When it was 16 teams, you didn't have to worry about those types of games, but with 24, it's set up where there's almost a guarantee you're going to see at least 3 rematches in the second round. More football is good, but I want to see football that I didn't see during the regular season, and not Maine and UNH or Richmond and W&M or SDSU and NDSU playing for a second time before one of those even got to play another playoff game.

[MTfan4life]

I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times. You can't keep New Hampshire out of the playoffs, no matter how hard they try! When they won their 7th game, they were guaranteed of a bid in the committee's eyes, regardless of how embarrassing they'd perform in the season finale. The team got smoked by 4-7 Holy Cross and shut out by 4-7 Albany, but that's not enough to keep them out of the playoffs.

My only misses really were EWU, and McNeese over Nicholls.... although I had them outside the bubble. When you throw out NCA&T, and add the AQ's Lehigh, San Diego and CCSU, I felt the bracket was about right. I thought EWU had the stronger pedigree than NAU, but that was open to debate. Nicholls, thought that was probably the worst of the at large picks by the committee. I was seriously conflicted with New Hampshire as well.

[Professor Chaos]

Yeah, only 11 of 14 at larges is the worst I've seen us (or the selection committee) do in a while. Big miss in Nicholls. They weren't even in our first 4 out.

[cx500d]

Yea, look at the cupcakes #7 gets here because of regionalization but the WIU SHSU game, if it happened, would be interesting

Funny, since we were the ones getting the cupcakes!

[POD Knows]

Nope. More football is good for many reasons and it harms nothing. Why do you hate football?:D Hell, expand it to 64 teams then if more is good. Football is not basketball and 4 or 5 games to win it all is almost a third to a half of a season. That is a lot of football.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

:D Hell, expand it to 64 teams then if more is good. Football is not basketball and 4 or 5 games to win it all is almost a third to a half of a season. That is a lot of football.
