that said usd is NOT gonna beat whoever wins between MSU and NDSU

This bracket definitely feels like the committee said SDSU is clearly the number 1 team and we'll put everyone else on the other side of the bracket and they can decide who the number 2 is. Winner of that group gets a shot at SDSU in Texas pending a big upset.
Feel like this was well done by the committee this year through my blue colored glasses.

To be fair, we're 0-8 vs the Griz all time, including two of the biggest fourth quarter comebacks in the history of the sport (although seven of those losses were played in Missoula).
Only counter to that is that the Griz are 2-5 in championship games.With fans like this who needs enemas.....

Regarding UM, a few stats from this season. SDSU scored 37.6 ppg and gave up 11.3 mpg against a schedule of teams that went 73-48 for the season. UM scored 30.5 ppg and gave up 14.5 ppg against a schedule that went 60-58. There is at least one team on their side of the bracket I would be more worried about.You know that you're over the hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill. - L. George

Great stats for media or fans to spend time talking about but they mean absolutely nothing. None of the players on either team factor into either of those stats. I hate Montana for buying out the trip they were supposed to make to Brookings a few years back and not sure that feeling will ever change.
The 2009 season was SDSU's first D1 playoff appearance and we traveled to Missoula for a Thanksgiving weekend game. The Griz were undefeated at that point (they finished the year 14-1, their only loss coming in the National Championship game against Villanova) but the Jacks were dominating, closing out the half up 34-14 and the third quarter up 48-27. But there was one looming problem in the personna of Mark Mariani, a receiver and return specialist. To this day I wonder why we were kicking and punting anywhere near that guy. He seemed to be on a personal mission to rip the hearts out of the Jacks.
We lost -- Montana 61, SDSU 48.
Mariani seemed to announce that he was going to take over the game when in the third quarter he took a kickoff 98 yards to the house. The score at the end of the third quarter suggested the Jacks remained firmly in control but there was trouble on the horizon, starting with Mariani's kickoff return. Here's the official scoring summary retrieved from GoJacks.com:
Mariani's name is liberally sprinkled in the plays leading to the Montana scores in the fourth quater, He finished the game with 171 yards. Mariani played his high school ball at Havre, MT (senior year captain; 12-0 and State A champs) BUT did not play football his first year at Montana. Then he walked on and established himself as a talented wide receiver and dangerous return specialist. Montana finished the 2009 season 14-1, losing the national title game to Villanova. Mariani was drafted in the 7th round in 2010 by the Tennesssee Titans. Yeah, he has a Wikipedia page.3rd 05:25 UM - Marc Mariani 98 yd kickoff return (Brody McKnight kick failed) 48 27 4th 14:56 UM - Marc Mariani 15 yd pass from Andrew Selle (Brody McKnight kick) 11 plays, 79 yards, TOP 3:05 48 34 4th 07:35 UM - Chase Reynolds 1 yd run (Brody McKnight kick), 8 plays, 66 yards, TOP 2:15 48 41 4th 04:11 UM - Chase Reynolds 1 yd run (Brody McKnight kick), 4 plays, 52 yards, TOP 1:19 48 48 4th 01:08 UM - Marc Mariani 4 yd pass from Andrew Selle (Brody McKnight kick) 5 plays, 41 yards, TOP 1:34 48 55 4th 00:45 UM - Sev. Campbell 32 yd interception (Brody McKnight kick blocked)
I wouldn't mind playing Montana. They're playing great football right now. So are we.
