    I'm a little confused. Why would Northern Iowa just get in and then wind up hosting EWU while the Jacks would travel to #2? Is it just about the bid?

      They will bid out of their arse to get the game.
      Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!--Bluto--

        I think there are some things that are working for SDSU in getting a home game if you bid right. That said, I would cheer hard against Delaware, EWU, and Montana State if I was a Jacks fan. The greater the representation of eastern teams, the better chance you'll have at a home game. Some of those eastern teams have terrible attendance which could work in your favor.

          Elon, UNH, Richmond, SE LA, SFA would all be good choices in to assist a Jacks successful bid.

          Unfortunately, can guarantee that MT, App St. will be hosting, so hopefully they're seeds anyway. We will be right in there with William & Mary, Villanova, UNI, McNeese as unseeded hosts competitors.

          The CS projections aren't out of line.

          As the nearest to MT who's an at-large, and all the east pairings, Jacks look like close to a lock to end up in Missoula.

          SIU/MT will be paired as either a 1-4 or 2-3 seed, and CAA champ & #2 CAA/SoCon champ will be paired as seeds. Either UNI or SDSU should end up in the eastern brackets, with the other paired through MT in either the first or second round.

          A big help as far as hosting a game is if SCSU gets matched vs. App St. in the 1st round, as they are #2, #4 in FCS attendence.

            I think there are worse places we could go than Montana for a football game. I know they are dang tough to beat at home, but their style of play is probably one we match up better with than some of the east coast teams.

              Excellent point.

                  UMass, Delaware, and Florida A&M all knocked themselves out of playoff contention today.

                        Outside of the top 4 seeds (and actually getting into the playoff field, of course), regular season record doesn't really matter much. It's all trumped by geography and bid amount.

                          You think they would send Auto-bid SFA to Montana before at large UNI, McNeese State or SDSU?

                            UNI will bid large to host the game. I really doubt we will see UNI being sent on the road.

                              My guess is you will make the return trip to Brookings and get your butts handed to you just like last time you played. Your day is over.
