Most-played playoff matchups

[AmsterBison]

Just a stupid off-season stat.

3 teams have played each other 4 times:

App State v Richmond
McNeese State v Montana
NDSU v Sam Houston State

20 teams have met up 3 times in the playoffs. Northern Iowa features in 1/4 of those matchups (Montana, Eastern Washington, Eastern Illinois, Marshall, and New Hampshire) and in all five matchups, either UNI won all three games or lost all three games.

I enjoy stupid off season stuff a whole lot. Good work.

Hasn't SDSU gone to Fargo like 100 times in playoffs ... so spit balling here .. that would make them like about 0-100 ??

Seriously .. I think it is at least 3 times since 2012 ?

Seems like it, but just '12, '14, and '16. There was once or twice in there that if they'd won, they would have played at NDSU the next round, but didn't make it that far.

Those #JackBoys need to stop choking themselves. xlolx

[VandalBasher]

The teams Idaho has met the most in the playoffs are:

3 x McNeese St.
2 x Montana

It’s hard when choking runs in the sports program.

It’s hard when choking runs in the sports program.You need to get on that Sioux program of lifting weights and getting angry. It seems to be working quite well for them. xlolx

If Northern Iowa had only beaten Lehigh in 2010, then they would have played Delaware for the third time in the playoffs. I figure the series would have moved to 3-0 Delaware

If they didn’t try to run / drive and pound Joose at the same time....

I was gonna say they played each other in the playoffs more than 3 times if you included DII...but.............:D

Had a couple of years where we could’ve gotten to the playoffs, but choking and all.

We jerk and drive, good god man get it right. Throw in drinking JOOSE while shooting a pheasant out the window and your bound to end up in a ditch at least once. Haters gonna hate.

It’s more memorable since the matchups have been in the last 5-6 years. If you go off of percentage of playoff games it’s probably the winner though.

I don't know if this is a record, but Furman has 11 playoff appearances against schools that either were, had been, or would be in their conference.

WCU (83)
Georgia Southern (85, 88, 01)
William & Mary (89)
Marshall (88, 96)
Richmond (05)
App State (05)
Wofford (17)
Elon (17)

Did they ever make the DII playoffs? I honestly can't remember. We played USD a few times, they were the better DII program.

0-1.....total....and I'd have to look up who they lost to.


EDIT: which, by the way, makes their D1 transition pretty incredible....and makes the Yotes look like complete imbeciles....even compared to UND. xlolx

Yeah I just googled it. Lost to YSU in 1979, 51-7. So a typical performance from the bunnies...xlolx

Got the first game jitters out of the way....primed for their next playoff appearance. They would know how to finish when the lights go on by then.

Well, USD has three accomplishments that UND does not: They beat a P5 school, won a playoff game, and beat NDSU (in one of NDSU's national championship seasons no less.) They also beat UND 45-7 last year.

It's more about the delay making the jump. SDSU blew by USD.....NDSU aside, the Jacks could have had some deep runs....which considering their D2 history is pretty crazy.

The only (likely) possibility to make it 5 this upcoming season is SHSU v. NDSU.

How many times has Lehigh played UD in the playoffs?

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

How many times has Lehigh played UD in the playoffs?

Twice, 2000 and 2010

Both games were at the Tub and saw UD win by similar scores. I was at both....

I was at the first one. Actually gave up Army Navy tickets to see that debacle. I figured with Lehigh's tendancy to face CAA teams in the playoffs it would have happened at least one other time. There's always this year I guess.

[dgtw]

Jax State has played NDSU twice in Division II and once in FCS.

Same was said after we lost Berry and Minnet, then Zenner, now it’s Goedert and Weineke.

It wouldn't surprise me if they miss the playoffs this year.

I hope Coach K keeps the foot on the pedal for the Jacks game this year. TC is going to get a beating.

[grizband]

In 13 playoff appearances between 1996-2008, Montana played a first round game against Southland Conference teams 7 times.

I don’t ever remember SDSU in the playoffs in the Div2 heyday. USD was,of course, including the all ncc final in 1986.
