First 4 Seeds to be Announced at 10:30

[jmrepak]

Same as last year, the committee will release the top 4 seeds early on the Twitter feed. Looks like a 10:30 announcement

https://mobile.twitter.com/ncaa_fcs (This is from my phone. Someone else will have to post the full site link).

[UNH Fanboi]

Cool. Thanks for the heads up.

[Red & Black]

EWU will be the number 4 seed.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

EWU and JSU in top 4 so far.

[UNIFanSince1983]

EWU, JSU, UNH, then NDSU

[Red & Black]

1. NDSU
2. New Hampshire
3. Jacksonville State
4. EWU

[IBleedYellow]

JSU, EWU, NH, NDSU.

Top 4 Seeds, no particular order!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

NDSU and UNH

Predictable.


I think they announced them in reverse order.

[Southern Bison]

NDSU, UNH, Jax St., & EWU picked as top 4 seeds.

[jmrepak]

and your top 4 seeds are...
NDSU, UNH, JSU, EWU. No guarantee on order, but that's is the order they were announced in and it feels about right

[UNIFanSince1983]

Yeah they just did it in alphabetical order

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Yeah they just did it in alphabetical order

Either way, that looks to be right.

[IBleedYellow]

Congrats to the Top 4 Seeds!

[Drblankstare]

I think most people saw that, no surprises so far

[Red & Black]

and your top 4 seeds are...
NDSU, UNH, JSU, EWU. No guarantee on order, but that's is the order they were announced in and it feels about right

That'll be the order.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

NDSU
UNH
JSU
EWU

[Cocky]

If UNH is 1 JSU will be 4.
If NDSU is 1 JSU will be 3.

[Southern Bison]

Regardless, I can't see the initial road to Frisco going through anywhere but Fargo & Durham.

[Red & Black]

If UNH is 1 JSU will be 4.
If NDSU is 1 JSU will be 3.

Out of curiosity, why do you keep saying that?

I think you're right about JSU and EWU as either the 3 or 4 seed. The top 2 seeds are going to be REALLY interesting.

I'm thinking there's a fair chance it's awarded to UNH due to the fact that they have no FCS losses.

[Cocky]

NDSU will be 1 or 2 and deserving so because this is one of the best runs ever in FCS history.
UNH is the only competition for the 1 with EWU having a FCS loss and JSUs conference not being considered FCS elite.

[Red & Black]

Regardless, I can't see the initial road to Frisco going through anywhere but Fargo & Durham.

That high on North Carolina Central, huh?

NDSU #2...what a joke!

[Cocky]

My guess was wrong

[UNH Fanboi]

NDSU #2...what a joke!

I think you guys have a better bracket though. At least so far.

[IBleedYellow]

Apparently Undefeated in conference is better than FBS wins.

[Bison56]

2 bye weeks for UNH

[IBleedYellow]

Is Indiana state the first 5 loss team that we've seen in the Playoffs?

[Professor Chaos]

Well, so much for 5 loss teams not making it. 7-5 Indiana St is in. SFA also another bubble team that is in.

[superman7515]

Montana at San Diego? Did not see that happening.

[Mattymc727]

I guess having your AD in the committee helps a bit....

[Cocky]

NDSU #2...what a joke!
What difference does it make between 1 and 2?

[X-Factor]

that is a misprint. SD @ Montana

[UNH Fanboi]

UNI and Illinois St on UNH's side of the bracket. NDSU got a better draw at #2.

[Bison56]

I have to agree.

[Bison56]

Did Montana not make a first-round bid? Something fishy there. I think everyone is scratching their head on that one.

[Mr. C]

The Twitter for the NCAA's FCS Football says San Diego at Montana, 4 p.m. Saturday

[Bisonator]

I agree. Thanks committee!:D

[IBleedYellow]

I agree. But we still have SDSU.

I'm sad. NDSU can't beat up on Chatty and EWU. Only 1 of them.

[superman7515]

I dunno, X-Factor said it was a misprint by ESPN, but that's what they had on the screen.

I don't disagree so far.

Looks like if SDSU wins they will be coming to Fargo again.

[Mr. C]

The bracket falls well for my prediction of a Villanova-North Dakota State championship game.

Liberty AT James Madison. I'd like to see what those bids were.

[superman7515]

Richmond at Morgan State? Are these serious?

[UNIFanSince1983]

Um hope that was sarcastic as that would be a semifinal game...

[bostonspider]

Twitter says at UR

[Cocky]

Cant complain about our position

[Mr. C]

The NCAA's FCS Football is reporting Southeastern Louisiana at Sam Houston State for a FIRST ROUND game. That can't be right? That breaks the rules.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Richmond at Morgan State? Are these serious?

The top team is the home team so it is Morgan State at Richmond.

[superman7515]

Thanks. The home team is always shown on the bottom in a bracket and ESPN seems like they're throwing them wherever the hell they want. Sometimes on top, sometimes on the bottom, no rhyme or reason.

[REALBird]

Congrats to UNI A.D. Troy Dannen, you have single handedly done what Patty V. has failed at for years.
Lets play ball!

They didn't play in the regular season, so it's allowed.

CCU gets the winner of Richmond/Morgan State. So, Dec 6 Richmond at Coastal.

So we either get the rabbits again or the cats finally come to Fargo. Can't wait!xnodx

Don't worry they'll **** the bed like usual and you will see SDSU. 😄

That doesn't break the rules. Conference teams can play if they haven't played during the season. Also, they're a bus trip apart. Otherwise either team would be traveling by plane or having a plane come to them.

Hell, I think it is a good idea. I hate these oversized conferences where you have co-champs who have never played.
It is appropriate to match them up like this in the playoffs when possible. It's another story if they'd previously played.

Co-champs of a league that didn't play each other and aren't seeds should have to play each other. Time to name the real SLC champ.

Fully agree this should be an automatic part of the bracketing process. I know it won't happen because of the regionalization, but it would be nice if they avoided putting conference mates (who had already played) in the slot to meet seeded conference mates in round #2. It is always more fun to see a cross country opponent who you're unfamiliar with.

They haven't already played. The commissioner even said if they had, they would not have paired them.

And we are how many years past 9-11? The whole reason the committee went to regionalization originally was supposedly because of 9-11 during the 2001 playoffs.

Always have hated regionalization.
