Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

Montana missed the playoffs...not surprising after having only six wins for the season following yesterday's loss to Montana State. The winner of NDSU and Bob Morris will play Montana State December 4.

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

This is why we need a new stadium. A weak (many say last team in the playoffs) NDSU team gets to host a weak NEC team.

When we went to the playoffs our very good SDSU team had to go on the road and face the #1 team in the nation.

The Fargo dome allows them to buy their way in and have an easier road to boot.

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

Not a lot of love for the MVFC in that they put all three in a bracket with with one of the 4 seeded teams. That is likely due to the conference parity.

But still good to see MVFC teams in the playoffs and all with winnable first round games. I for one think that all three of these teams have a legitimate shot at getting to the championship. I for one will be cheering for the Panthers, Bison and Lethernecks next weekend.

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

NDSU should be able to move on to Bozeman the following week. Robert Morris is not fully funded in terms of scholarships and who have they beat? People like Wagner, and some of the Pioneer clubs. If the Bison can not whale this opponet they are in big trouble.

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

I predict Robert Morris gets as close to the endzone in Fargo as UND did in Brookings yesterday. Then in Bozeman, the Bison's playoff run will end.

You can only go so far in the FCS playoffs with an offense as bad as NDSU's(Not UND bad, but I haven't really seen anything worse than the UND offense in 6 years of watching FCS fb). I'm still surprised they got in, but the more I look at it, I don't know who you could honestly argue that got hosed either.

Go Jacks!!

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

NDSU's top two quarterbacks were injured so the Bison have some special challenges ahead.

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

I'd guess NDSU is very lucky the field expanded to 20 this year.

With only 16 getting in, like before, they'd be watching at home.

The game vs. Robert Morris will be very interesting. With NDSU's 1 and 2 QB's both hurt, they may not score much again next week, and I can't imagine their D will give up much point wise either.

I'll go NDSU 9-7. NDSU kicks 3 fg's.

I never thought about that. It will be a bit of a challenge and they might get by Robert Morris who I believe is not a fully funded conference in terms of scholarships. Correct me if I am wrong.

No doubt. In fact, I think their attendance numbers (accurate or not) may have been a factor in getting them into the playoffs period, not just an opportunity to host. I hope that isn't the case but I don't think they were very deserving win over Kansas or not. Maybe I'm just a skeptic but I gotta think money is an issue for the FCS and NDSU will provide some of that.

When I saw the draw I figured the committee needed to replace some of the Montana money they will be losing this year. I really think it is odd that NDSU received a better draw then the 1st and 2nd place MVFC teams. Could the committee really really need a NDSU v MSU 2nd round game?

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

GT bid 100K for the game. Bids are looked at after the pairings are made....so bids make no difference in who gets in.

All 3 MV teams should win on saturday.

Re: 2010 FCS Playoffs

FCS is an absolute joke.

This is no different than the BCS. It's a naked cash grab masquerading as a legitimate means of determining a champion.

Probably just geography, NDSU is the closer team to MSU so that is where they went. WIU only got a harder draw because their bid was lower than CCU, I still can't figure that one out.

NDSU got in because of 7 DI wins and Kansas. In the end it was Liberty vs NDSU, LU had one more win, NDSU had a harder SOS(which supposedly was key this year), both beat FBS teams.
