I'll give San Diego the benefit of the doubt and send them to Montana...

McNeese has the $$$ to host a home game...

Had a rough time with the YSU/Maine/Furman/SIU grouping...

Didn't want to send UTM on the road, especially to ILS...

Maybe you can do better...

Cal Poly is a bit of a long shot with tough games remaining.

S Illinois must beat a N Iowa team that is fighting for a playoff spot, could be tough.

I agree with the other 14 picks.

The last 2 at large spots could be interesting picks, as they are every year. There won't be a lot of teams with 8-3 or better records and quality wins available.

[rokamortis]

My only suggestion would be to have Hampton at James Madison and Coastal at App State.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now...

In my first run through before I whiped it out, I put four Gateway teams in with UNI being the AQ per a scenario I saw from Ralph earlier in the AM. Decided against it, thinking I had more faith in the scenarios not working for a UNI to get an AQ...

Most definitely will be a mess...especially if Montana St beats Montana. That'd be another team in that many had on the outs. That game could very well take a spot from a San Diego as could a UNI win over SIU...

did you set your alarm this morning and stay in last night

[TexasTerror]

did you set your alarm this morning and stay in last night

I always wake up early...some of us have work on Sundays! :)

The fiancee is the same way. She's laying in bed watching TV and I'm on AGS talking I-AA football! :nod:

[ravens]

Why would you want to go to Boone??? Just want to get it over with quickly?:confused:

[rokamortis]

I just think that is a more realistic pairing. James Madison is a great team as well - so I'm not sure it matters where we get sent to if fortunate enough to make the playoffs. Any game will be tough

[UNHWildCats]

UNH loses 2 games to current top 5 teams and beats a I-A and San Diego gets in ahead of them? Share what your on dude.

If your fiancee is laying in bed, why are you on AGS?:D

Yikes! Complete oversight for a team that I was my #1 most of the season...

I had two more naps yesterday than she did...:thumbsup:

[Tealblood]

since 1st round is about the cash/ after the seeds
If CCU makes the playoffs we are making a strong bid for home games, I understand we will make a strong bid for all 3 games. And yes I undrstand you have to win to move on but if in and winning our bids will be very competitive

[Tealblood]

My thoughts are having said that don't be surprised to see someone like Hampton sent here.

OK Can we install you on the selection committee? :D

Would love to be on the selection commitee! :nod:

Perhaps if the NCAA got their act together...

Ralph would chair the commitee and we'd have Cap'N Cat representing the Midwest, MaineJeff taking the East, Tod taking the West and yours truly representing Texas! :twocents:

With the cat on the committee Youngstown may never geta playoff bid again xlolx xlolx xlolx

[kardplayer]

Furman @ New Hampshire



If this happens, it'll probably be the other way - UNH @ Furman - due to money/rankings...

[FlyYtown]

Good job Texas Terror, but:
Maine @ YSU.....Again????

[KawKaw]

Lehigh will not be in it.............it will either be Holy Cross or my fav LAFAYETTE................lehigh will def lose the 142nd

[DaGriz]

If Cal Poly loses to NDSU, who replaces them?

[ccd494]

Maine AND UNH will not both be in.

Maine is 6-3 (5-1). If they lose to UMass this weekend, they are most likely out. If they beat UMass, they basically have an elimination game against UNH in Orono, as UNH is also 6-3. So assuming Maine wins in Amherst (certainly not a given) and UNH takes care of business, we have two 7-3 teams playing.

[PantherRob82]

Maine can't/won't go to YSU again.

[shakdaddy3]

Maine can't/won't go to YSU again.
y can't they? just wondering if there's a rule on that or whatever

No, I actually made this post after going out last night. Its what I did while trying to sober up before sleeping.
