Thanks, I appreciate the info. I couldn't find it elsewhere.

[dgreco]

do two NEC representatives mean that Duquesne might get a better look? At least in the sense that the East region throws them into the mix as part of the conversation.

Nope.

The 2011 Championship Handbook should be out soon.

Not much for Representation from Upper Midwest. ouch. Illinois State to Montana is a large area.

I predict NDSU gets screwed somehow.

You are fairly new to the playoffs at FCS and I am damn sure you will find a conspiracy no matter if you get the #1 seed or not. You will complain the others in your bracket and so on and so forth.

You will ***** and complain about having to face a conference member before the Championship game even though it happens to every power conference every year.

Hell, I can't wait to see what is being pissed and moaned about this year.

Would Bruce barf if he actually had to pencil Georgetown into a slot??

I think I saw some where that Troy Dannen is on the committee this year.

Urses, Nah, Im fine with Montana coming to the Fargodome.

Hummmm lets see, ranked #1 in every poll, draw 19,000 for home games..... The only way they get screwed is by losing one of the next two games or forget to submit a bid.

So, if I'm reading this correctly, it looks like two from most conferences, with one on the selection committee and another on the advisory committee, except for non-AQ conferences (and of course no Ivy representation). It's interesting to note that the West region should be down to just four chairs next year (assuming the Great West's chair, represented by Cal Poly's Don Oberhelman, is removed).

Good to see Derek Horne and Tom Galbraith on the committee. I had an interview with Tom over the summer. Gosh I wish I got that internship.
