Seed Scenarios

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.

Re: Seed Scenarios

And the two best teams playing today, have to play each other. I feel bad for WIU and Weber State.

And Illinois State is better than at least half of the teams in the field.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Not sure where to post. But seriously. The first round of the playoffs makes me sad. So many terrible teams. New Hampshire? Bad. Stony Brook (announcer referred to the CAA as the "SEC" of FCS and said Stony Brook could easily go FBS... no to both). Lehigh? Central Connecticut? Samford? Kennesaw? Elon? Wow.

It's pretty sad. I can say for sure that most of those teams would finish ahead of Misery State and Indiana State in the Valley. That's about it.

Re: Seed Scenarios

I'm excited for Kavanaugh, but I'll miss Goedert. He is a known quantity and that quantity is will be missed for sure. His final highlight reel will be ridiculous.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Goedert is awesome but you gotta love what Kavanaugh brings at the TE spot. Look forward to seeing him the next 3 years

I’m with you as well.

Re: Seed Scenarios

I will side with what the team and coaches will feel.....anything less than a championship is a disappointment this season. Tell me when we will have this kind of talent at the skill positions at one time?

The optimist in me thinks it will be a regularity.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Problem is, we still have to catch it. (See NDSU game)

No we don't. We could just block it. (See USD game)

Re: Seed Scenarios

Wasn't it his first game back? Or first game back at 100%? I seem to recall that...

It took them getting out to a 17 point lead, due to turnovers, to beat us the first time. I just don't see that happening again. Maybe we just call for fair-catches on all kicks? ha

Re: Seed Scenarios

I am trying to spin it in our favor. It's hard to beat a good team twice in a season. Like we did last year at ndsu. Uni had to change schemes against us. Now we can prepare for both their base and 3-4 so they will probably have to add new wrinkles again. I would like to think we won't be surprised by their unexpecting running attack.

Re: Seed Scenarios

Put me in the 'Semifinals is the minimum expectation' group.

Also, I'm glad that we're going to get a rematch with UNI. I don't want anyone claiming some sort of moral victory over us as we're hoisting the championship trophy. I want that Hobo Day loss avenged, very badly.
