I picked EWU, although it is close.
Nicholls/USD winner followed by a probable UC Davis team that they already blew out....Davis defense is not good.
A rematch with Weber will be interesting. I think EWU will win the rematch even on the road.
EWU is a legit contender to the title this year and the reason I'm on their bandwagon is because they are playing good defense this year to go along with a explosive offense.
Frisco match up: NDSU vs EWU
Could have had this match up in the past but EWU crapped the bed more than once.

Jacksonville State has a SloCon team, Stephen King University, then rides the Big Fluffy gravy train all the way to Frisco. :D

100% agree with your entire post, including crapping the bed.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if JSU made a run to the semis. EWU at home would be a tough game but Sammy beat them there.....

I honestly wouldn't be at all surprised to see EWU lose in the quarterfinals to UNI.

If the UNI team that throws the ball and plays hard nose defense and gets out of their own way shows up they definitely have a chance.

Worth mentioning about EWU: if I'm not mistaken, this is the best rushing offense they've fielded. They run for more yards per carry than anyone in the country.
I don't know how you stop that. I'm pretty sure that's new for them as from a distance they looked like the kind of team to throw it for over 300 yards and rush for under 175 or so.
That would be a challenge to stop for any team, even NDSU, with that balance.

UNI's road record this year has been less than ideal to have confidence in a playoff run. Outside of beating down the trees, they've looked kinda pekid. Even Youngstown beat them by twenty.

Seeing some people picking UNI to make a run, really? UC Davis has no defense but this is the same UNI team that got blown OUT by Youngstown. I don’t care about the talent, a loss to YSU gives me ZERO confidence.
They should be out in round 2, but maybe they’ll make a surprise run. Just IHMO.

Yeah and they also gave NDSU all they wanted.
UNI the only team in the field that can lose this weekend or win the whole thing.

At home, though. At home, they've looked like champions against NDSU, SDSU, ISU-r, and MSU. On the road it's been 3 out of 5 duds @ WIU, UM, and YSU.
And I think there are plenty of contenders playing this weekend.

Easiest bracket for the Bison during this whole run!
