Seed Scenarios

Re: Seed Scenarios

I'm assuming you're against conference champions from leagues like the Summit League in March Madness also?

I agree that the conference champions should get in. How many times have SDSU won a game in the MBB NCAA tourney?
With the format that we have, you get the conference champions and the top 8 or so at large teams(there might be more at larges that are a coin flip on if they are better than another at large but the teams that have a shot at winning it all are in). If you don't place high enough in your conference you don't get in. The MVFC is the best conference but they also get the most bids. All you have to do is place in the top half of your conference and you are in.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Your post confuses me. I must not be smart. but I agree there are most certainly flaws with the current FCS system, But I'll argue it's better then the FBS system which has advanced from the previous Bowls only Model.

Edit: Which I think* was your point?

I was talking about the previous BCS system that used computers to rank the teams and then we magically had this national title game. The four team playoff is light years ahead of that, but if you're not in a P5 conference you've got virtually zero shot to get in, even if you go undefeated. I'd like to at least see the "little guys" get a chance.

Re: Seed Scenarios

IMO there will always be flaws in any system. The point of a playoff is to get the best teams in it. The FCS defiantly has done this. I doubt many would argue there was a team left out that had a reasonable shot to win the NC. Seeding can always be debated but that is the nature of the beast.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Oh you mean a system where an undefeated team doesn't get a chance to play for a title? The 4 team playoff is light years better than the BCS playoff, but I'd like to see the UCF's of the world at least get a shot.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Let's all agree that the Current FCS system as flawed as it is (committee's assignment of placements) is still far superior to the 3 game FBS "Playoffs"

Re: Seed Scenarios

In an ideal world every team would be seeded and we would have an FBS style playoff committee instead of clueless ADs. No idea why some of these teams like NAU and UNH are in the field, they are so bad and these are teams the committee gave at-large bids to.

No disagreement on the general sentiment expressed but just a little skeptical of your choice of example teams (NAU and UNH, knowing the Jacks are playing UNH this weekend. ) Most years, a very good case could be made that there should be no AQ for the non-scholarship league U of San Diego usually wins.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Assuming the Jacks, Weber State, and the Bison all win, would you think the Bison would play Friday night and the Jacks and Weber State play on Sat. (12/16)?

Yes.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Thought I'd invite a little discussion on some of the other games this upcoming weekend.

Weber State @ JMU Friday night on ESPN2
Wofford @NDSU Saturday at 11AM
Kennesaw State@ SHSU at 2 PM ESPN3

I didn't get to watch the Weber-SUU game last night, but from the sounds of it, they controlled the game after the first two series. JMU is obviously a fantastic team, and they have a lights out defense, but I wouldn't be shocked if Weber was able to knock them off Friday night. They have a great D, and they've performed well in both of their games thus far in the post season. A Weber win followed by us taking care of business on Saturday, and the Jacks will get to host a semifinal game the following weekend.

Re: Seed Scenarios

The AQ is going nowhere and really do we need to remove the AQ so Austin Peay can get into the field?

The problem with the FCS playoffs is that it is bloated.

Or that they only seed 8. Might as well seed the entire thing. Have a lot less issues or complaints.

Re: Seed Scenarios

The FCS playoff doesn’t represent the top 24 teams in FCS. The automatic qualifier needs to be eliminated and conference strength has to be considered more. How about some non conference games at the beginnng of the year to showcase conferences, CAA ( any other) vs MVFC to show conference strength. It’s are to watch first round games when the underdog has no chance of winnng or even playing well.
