We got the nightmare bracket that I feared. Obviously the committee does not care about avoiding early rematches like they have said. Furman-Elon is a REMATCH. And Wofford-Furman would be a REMATCH. It is likely Furman beats Elon. It is hard to beat a good team twice. Then they probably knock us out. Just as with Elon, it will be very hard for us to beat them a second time as well. And even if we do get past the ones clad in those ugly purple uniforms there is NO WAY I see us winning in Fargo. We might as well play Alabama; we’d have just as good of a shot. I know that sounds bad but it’s my honest opinion and I don’t feel like mincing any words. That dome is like hell on earth. I’d rather go to JMU than that place. Bite me, playoff committee. I KNEW you would do this crap to us. I just have no faith in this world anymore. Disappointment Sunday.

Damn, wish Austin Peay would have gotten in. Heartbreaking for the Govs. They will be back. Can’t believe Nicholls is in over McNeese. Cowboys got hosed. Should be in. Kats have to face one of the last teams in.

UNH AD maybe kept Delaware out. Sorry Hen fans. Had to get it done yesterday. Stunned EWU isn’t here.

New Hampshire, Monmouth, Nicholls, and Northern Arizona. That's terrible.

Nicholls St and Monmouth are the worst picks, period. NAU payed a tough SOS going 7-4, so not questioning that pick ... and just because they beat my Redbirds.

UNH is also a bad pick - they had much easier schedule than many other 7-4 teams, and 6-5 teams ... time to kick their way to influential AD off the committee .. they get way too much love some years. This must be looked at harder.

Can't really complain much from a Seawolves perspectives, we get to play our 1st round game at home against the regular season's weakest team. If we wanted a seed we should have finished off Delaware. But if I was James Madison I'd be angrier than when the British burned down his white house.

As much as I gave them a hard time in polls, the team that really got hosed was Eastern Washington. They lost to FBS Texas Tech, #2 seed North Dakota State, and the two best teams in their conference.

They won every game they were supposed to. Finished third in their conference. Beat three decent teams behind them on their schedule (Sac, MT, Mt St who had conference records of 6-2, 5-3, 5-3 respectively).

Makes me feel better about Delaware missing out. xlolx

Well Nicholls is a bus trip SHSU.

Nicholls will be nearly 20 point underdogs at home. The committee has to be smarter in thinking about who will win first round games.

I hate that I'm complaining, because this is what I wish they would have done with SDSU year after year. It's just crazy how good of a draw USD gets with their first time in and being the last team in.

BisonTru
November 19th, 2017, 10:41 AM

True, but they could have sent Western IL to Nicholls. Paired USD with Weber and swapped so NAU/San Diego to SUU and Weber St/USD to NDSU. That would create a potential 7 second round bus trips. The way they set it up creates only 6 potential second round bus trips.

Judging by how they picked the at larges though I don't think this committee thought things thru tho.

Nicholls over McNeese seems easy; the only win either one had of any significance was McNeese losing to Nicholls. I was always surprised a McNeese State team with zero good wins would get in the field -- of course, Monmouth did, so that's a bit odd.

I'd probably have had Eastern Washington in over South Dakota and NAU, though. You don't lose three straight or 2 of 3 and get in. They got the biggest woof, IMO, and they weren't even one of the first two out!

Playoff teams don't lose 15-0 to Albany and 51-26 to Holy Cross. I wouldn't have had UNH in -- but the bubble sucked. There were flaws with everyone. The FBS win ultimately made a difference.

UNH will probably scrape by CCSU and get slaughtered in round 2.

No, they really aren't.

I'm not arguing for Delaware to be included either. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that UNH gets in this year while EWU sits at home.

Bingo. The UNH AD's influence on the Committee is particularly glaring this year, and in all seriousness, his membership needs to be revoked to avoid the obvious appearance of impropriety.

Losing 15-0 yesterday should have kept UNH out. McNeese not getting in is not a surprise but Nicholls and UNH getting in are BS. The Cowboys made their own bed with a stupid loss to Nicholls after pushing them all over the field and then beating a 2-9 team last night by 10 pts sealed the deal. No regrets here about no playoffs for the Pokes. The run defense is really good but a strong passing opponent would not be a good matchup with the anemic offensive output lately and some dinged up skill players.

Let the games begin and best of luck to everyone. I am pulling for anyone but the top 2 seeds :D

Also, 5 MVFC teams...spread as evenly around the bracket as possible. One quad had to have 2 MVFC teams, but otherwise (not saying it's going to happen, of course) it's theoretically possible that the Semifinals could be WIU at SDSU/UNI and USD at NDSU.

Trust me all credit to Ualbany but we are still scratching our heads on what happened to our players yesterday on offense.

I think unless you go into FBS games looking for a win instead of a "good loss," you are better off with solid OOC FCS games, especially if you are in a notoriously bad conference like the OVC or Softland. AP scheduled three middling FBS games for money and lost all three. Not a plus in my mind.

UNH lost to the #1 team in the country on their home field by 21 really should have been by 7 if you watched the game. But USD losers of 4 out of 5 and 5th in their conference are the best thing since sliced bread? Got it. UNH gets no respect on this message board, been that way for 14 years+ why change now.
Easy on the rhetoric.

UNH lost-
0 - 21 to JMU
0 - 15 to Albany
26 - 51 to Holy Cross (4-7) from the Patriot

Let's compare UNH and USD using the NCAA SRS since that is what the committee uses to determine SOS. Both Bowling Green and Georgia Southern are bad FBS teams and the SRS they release doesn't include FBS teams so I'm just going to say those two cancel out.

UNH's FCS wins
Elon (20)
Maine (49)
Towson (58)
Bryant (64)
Rhode Island (65)
William & Mary (80)

USD's FCS wins
Western Illinois (9)
Youngstown St (28)
Southern Illinois (55)
Drake (66)
North Dakota (77)
Indiana St (108)

So you can pretty safely say USD had better good wins but UNH didn't have as bad of wins (bad as in wins against lowly ranked teams).


UNH's losses
James Madison (1)
Stony Brook (11)
Albany (57)
Holy Cross (73)

USD's losses
North Dakota St (2)
South Dakota St (3)
Northern Iowa (16)
Illinois St (29)

Interesting how some people don't think USD deserves to be in. Yesterday against the #5 seed they put up 583 yards of offense to SDSU's 386. They were stopped at the one on a goal line stand and that was the difference in the game. I've watched the Yotes a handfull of times this year. When their up tempo offense gets rolling it's scary. SDSU came up with a way to slow it down...leg cramps...dirty pool! Defensively USD at time struggles against the run. If their defense plays well they could win some playoff games.

This year, however, NDSU has the creamiest cupcakes in the bracket.

Therefore, this year, NDSU fans shouldn't resort to pointing out how easy another teams matchups may be.




Did you get it that time? Do you want me to color code it for you?

Notice, I didn't say I saw any posters complaining about this year's bracket.

Notice, I didn't say NDSU fans are barred from complaining about future brackets should they get shafted by regionalization again in the future.

Notice, I didn't complain or act jealous of NDSU's cupcake bracket because JSU is easily in the second weakest branch of the bracket.

No they haven't. You completely ignored the rest of my post about Charlotte or ECU. Hell, when the Bison beat Iowa State, they rekt them by 3 scores and that Iowa State team was awful. To prove you wrong here we go about FBS teams:

2016:

-Virginia (2-10)
-Kent State (3-9)
-Buffalo (2-10)

2015:
-Kansas (0-12)

-SMU (2-10)
-UNT (1-11)

I think its reached the point that UNH has made the playoffs 14 straight times, recently under questionable circumstances is what's raising the eyebrows. If just once someone else got the perceived "benefit of the doubt" the uproar wouldn't be as much. But the 14 year playoff streak is very much an outlier and draws attention. Especially when you consider that a lot of times UNH was not really a playoff favorite. Basically just another team in the field. The Santos/Ball years and 2014 standout as years when UNH was a slam dunk threat to make a run. Their recent semi run was a big surprise if iirc.

Good trivia question. Again I feel like a broken record, you are equating GSU to a crappy D II team and I just don't see it. They just thumped someone 52-0 and they may very well win their last two games of the season. Losing to UNH took all of the wind out of GSU's sails, they were not really that bad against a very good Auburn team for their first game but packed it in after the UNH loss. Each football game is different, any given Saturday. The Albany defense we faced yesterday played better than JMU and JMU has an amazing defense! Yesterday clearly wasn't our best Saturday but that is why the games are played.

In the end I think this is what it came down to in that room. The "Northeast Region" (New England, NY, NJ, PA, DE, DC and VA) needed another team:

1. James Madison (CAA AQ) - Virginia
2. Stony Brook (CAA At-large) - New York
3. Monmouth (Big South At-large) - New Jersey
4. Central Conn. St. (NEC AQ) - Connecticut

I just don't think they were comfortable with just 5 teams in this region and it came down to UNH and Delaware.

Albany in 2016? they should have been in, again last year I'm pretty sure UNH wasn't the last one in then either. I stand with what I said, if you are going to qualify an FBS win as anything other than a good win then you just shouldn't consider FBS wins or losses at all.

Agree...Softland bracket, or another run at UNI.... I think if you get past UNI/Monmouth, you are good until JMU
I think UCA is better than everyone besides JMU and NDSU. If you figure in our unfamiliarity with their weird turf, it could almost be better for us to play in Fargo again. I doubt we make it past the quarters again.

Interesting how some people don't think USD deserves to be in. Yesterday against the #5 seed they put up 583 yards of offense to SDSU's 386. They were stopped at the one on a goal line stand and that was the difference in the game. I've watched the Yotes a handfull of times this year. When their up tempo offense gets rolling it's scary. SDSU came up with a way to slow it down...leg cramps...dirty pool! Defensively USD at time struggles against the run. If their defense plays well they could win some playoff games.

Lol you’re a dumbass. It was the same guy who cramped up. Once you cramp they don’t just go away for the rest of the game.....

I'm going to go on a limb and say JMU may have an argument here.

You really are this dense aren't ya? How can you honestly sit there and believe this? So if EWU were to beat San Jose State, UTEP, or Kansas instead of losing to TTU then that would be a good win? GTFOH with that bull****.

Our defense held Albany to I think it was 267 yards, besides one broken 50 yard TD play our defense played great for being out there the entire game. we had a punt over the head that caused a safety so holding a team to 2 field goals besides that broken play when your offense didn't walk off the bus isn't a "curb stomp". Trust me all credit to Ualbany but we are still scratching our heads on what happened to our players yesterday on offense.

Also "god awful" Ualbany team? 7pt game vs ODU till the 4th, lost in OT to SBU(9-2) and Richmond(6-5), lost to elon by 6(8-3), maine(4-6) by two. beat Nova (5-6) and UNH (7-4) their "god awful loss is URI" thats about it.

I think you forget we also play in a high level competitive FCS conference

you forgot to mention what Delaware did to Albany.... but I understand bringing that game up destroys your point
