Bracket Projections have begun

[SMEnetwork]

The SME Network has once again started our bracket projections. Each year at the end of week 6 we start to project the field as if the season were to end today. We will be posting our brackets every Tuesday night for fans to view.

Have something to say about it. E-mail the show at onair@smebroadcasting.com to have your voice be heard or leave us a message right here (be sure to include your name and where you are from).

Be sure to check out the brackets at www.smebroadcasting.com (http://www.smebroadcasting.com)

They have NDSU vs. Nova in the 1st round with a potential 2nd rd. matchup with #1 James Madison... interesting. That's from Ray Alexander.

Ralph Benarczyk has NDSU vs. Northern Arizona in the 1st round with a 2nd round matchup vs. McNesse or the Bunnies

Isn't Illinois State undefeated in the conference? By their own guidelines, they should be in red (for now, anyway!)

It's fun to look at, but it's way too early to get too excited about this stuff.

Win on the field the next six games and we'll find ourselves on the real bracket.

Illinois St is 1-0, SDSU is 2-1. Thats a tie in terms of games back. SDSU is ranked higher so we gave them the tie breaker.

Illinois State beat Indiana State. You can hardly count that as a win, it simply is recorded in the same column as other teams you beat during the regular season.
