Yeah, I think SDSU can still jump UND. The good news with these rankings is it's pretty clear either UND or SDSU will be seeded after either UCA or SHSU loses and it really would've been messed up to see those two matched up in the first round (as top 10 teams) with the winner going to top seeded NDSU.

[89MTBISON]

Lookin more and more like UN_ at the Fargodome first weekend in December.

No question, especially if SDSU beats a playoff bubble team this Saturday and UND is idle. Why wouldn't two MVFC teams get seeds over two seeds from the Big Sky?

If we win Saturday, it wasn't by a big enough margin.

SHSU UCA finish in a tie saturday after 3 OTs due to a violent thunderstorm cancelling the finish of the game. UN_ hopes for a seed and home game dashed as they finish tied for 9th with SDSU. Montana bids $1 mill for the home game, UN_ loses in Missoula 53-14.

Can't do full 24-man Bracket, but by using the top-10, here's what I got in terms of QF if teams play to seed:


(#1 NDSU vs. winner of #8 Richmond/#9 UND) vs. winner of (#4 JMU vs. #5 SHSU)

(#3 JSU vs. #6 The Citadel) vs. winner of (#2 EWU vs. winner of #7 UCA/#10 SDSU)

[Hammerhead]

Keep in mind that if UND gets the 8 seed, they will more than likely play the #9 team. Has UND played any team that good this year?

I think they will seed UND at #8 with the winner of SDSU and some other team going to Grand Forks so there is still a bus ride to Fargo for the quarterfinals, assuming we win our 1st game.

I don't believe that they are matching up 8/9 and 7/10. They only seed 8. I believe they release 9/10 to keep those fans interested and to say they are next up. However when the seeds hit, 9 and 10 will go wherever regionalization sends them. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but that's my understanding.

Hell it would be possible that UND gets 8 seed and SDSU/other team winner gets routed to Fargo while UND gets College of Faith or whomever.

If they want to do a true bracket, they would line-up teams accordingly to their ranking. And yes, how they decided where the #9 through #24 get placed is up to them. My post was basically based on how we (USAW) bracket wrestlers at a trials tournament, where nobody is randomly drawn in.

We are top 10 against the run yardage wise and I think in the 90s for passing yards given up but we are first in INTs which is huge. I want our route to include SDSU and NDSU sober can see what we're made of. I'm not affraid of an ass whoopin.

This isn't wrestling so why bother when you already know the selection committee doesn't work that way?

They only seed 8 and the rest are NOT randomly drawn. It becomes about Geography.

The one thing I do know is that we damn well better win on Saturday and it better not be a squeaker.

And yeah, UND will get the 8 seed slated to come to Fargo Dec 9 or 10 if they win on the 3rd.

Meh... I think this movement was bound to happen anyway if the committee was honest with themselves. Maybe those interviews gave the committee chair the push he needed to make sure his people were doing due diligence but I think it would've happened regardless. I'd guess that this process of smoothing out the rough edges of their rankings over the last 2-3 weeks of the regular season is no different from how it's always been, this is just the first year we've seen it in action.

All I can say is if they plan to do this again next year I hope they realize that they can't half-ass it with the first ranking again because they're setting themselves up for a boatload of criticism when they have to fix their broken rankings without justification down the line.

[DIBISON]

Copied from another blog, liked it so much. Much more goes into the final seeding's than just the record of a team.

NDSU will stay one if they win over USD. No way EWU loses to Portland so they will be two. That’s they way it should be. The movement will be at the bottom. If UCA loses they are out and either SDSU or UND are in at 8.
If SDSU beats UNI and UCA loses I expect SDSU to jump UND for the 8 seed with a far better resume and SOS. A UCA win likely means both SHSU and UCA get a seed with UND and SDSU, as 9 and 10 playing in round one with a trip to Fargo on the line. Regionalization still exists.

What the team really needs to do is just win and let the rest take care of itself. No guarantee we beat USD, especially without a passing game. We lose to USD and all eleven pages of this thread have been a colossal waste of time.

[GOBISON123]

Somebody from the selection committee was on Bison1660 few weeks ago when the first rankings came out. The committee member said they were not impressed by how Bison won against the EW Eagles.

I think the committee is forgetting the fact that EW Eagles needed some trick plays to win that game, off side kick etc. Also against UNI Panthers the Eagles won because of last second trick play where the lineup as if they were going to kick a field goal and then score a TD.

I am surprised nobody's giving these committee members a earful about this when they rib the Bison for playing close games.

That batch of numbers indicates a steady decline.

[Bisonator98]

Somebody from the selection committee was on Bison1660 few weeks ago when the first rankings came out. The committee member said they were not impressed by how Bison won against the EW Eagles.

I think the committee is forgetting the fact that EW Eagles needed some trick plays to win that game, off side kick etc. Also against UNI Panthers the Eagles won because of last second trick play where the lineup as if they were going to kick a field goal and then score a TD.

I am surprised nobody's giving these committee members a earful about this when they rib the Bison for playing close games.

More great analysis from you. Keep up the great work.:facepalm:

BTW have broken down 30 hours of film on USD and decided we are doomed yet?

Interesting article on STATS FCS football Craig Haley did with the chairman of the selection commitee, Brian Hutchinson. Not sure if it will actually happen, but it deals with regionalization.

Yea its D2 all over again. Appy St, Georgia Southern Liberty and now Coastal Carolina have moved up.

having the possibility of a bracket of NDSU vs winner of SDSU/und is so D2 I cant even fathom it.. what a colossal waste of the last 5-6 years, I cant believe we havent PARLAYED this run into something!

Vermillion , Terra Haute, Macomb , grand forks, brookings ARE NOT THE TOWNS FARGO SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH!

You know what's ironic? You say how much you want to move, but yet the following are lacking on your part a.) being a member of teammakers (just looked at the member list and your name is not on there) and b.) being a tax payer in the state of North Dakota.

No, what's ironic is naming teams that moved up that will become irrelevant in the FBS because they will be playing in irrelevant conferences and their biggest aspirations is to play in irrelevant Bowl Games.

They are relevant to a degree. But when youre on your way to 6 in a row, nation wide talking heads will ask why this team isn't moving up or considering it. It also doesnt change the fact that a prestigious program like NDSU is currently in the same brackets as colleges like NC A&T, Samford, San Diego & St Francis.

Western Michigan is currently rolling, and will be playing in a post New Years day bowl game. You dont think NDSU could pull that off? I know i know conference invites, politics, money, whatever has to go the right way.

I just want NDSU's ass covered at the right time and not left on the same shoreline as San Diego, St Francis, Samford and NC A&T. I'll spare you from writing what I know what you are going to write: Matt Larsen, PDB and others are doing whats best for NDSU and will make the move when the timing is right since this landscape is always changing.

Western Michigan isn't going to be playing in any Dr. Pepper National Championship Game no matter how many games they win as long as they are in the MAC. Playing in a New Years Day bowl is nice, but nothing more than a participation prize. The important games all belong to the P5. There's a reason why they only allow four teams in the CFP.

[Bison03]

I'd rather watch us try and win a national championship then win the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Thats what this thread is about. Why does every thread drift to moving up to FBS talk. Lets stay focused. Win and get the #1 seed and the road to Frisco goes through Fargo once again.

actually Teammakers FORCED ME TO JOIN THEM since im a basketball season ticket holder & I told them I didnt want my name on the list.

(great move by D2 pat simmers... so he can flap his arms & say OH LOOK WE'VE INCREASED TEAMMAKERS By 10,000 members by holding them hostage and forcing them to donate!) what a joke.

The future for Bowl Games outside of the playoff includes top NFL prospects bailing out after the regular season ends.

I just want you to put your money where your mouth is. If you want it contribute something for it. In the meantime, be happy with FCS football because unless there is a substantial rise in donations to teammakers, the move isn't going to happen.

Until then feel free to keep on living in fantasy land because the State of North Dakota is NEVER going to fund NDSU in the level needed to have an FBS football team, have an FBS quality stadium or pay the coaching staff FBS level salaries.

Someone needs to remind SHSU about McNeese from last year. Same conference, also had their FBS game (LSU) cancelled, also were undefeated and ended up seeded fourth. Their final result? Lost in the second round to SHSU.

YES so get your butts out there, find 4 big stadium donors at $25 mill., raise the other $50 mill voila, $150 mil 42,000 seat outdoor stadium OWNED BY NDSU and all REVENUE going to NDSU!
screw the state! NDSU is 50/50 ND/MN students last time I checked!

[Bison Loaf]

Ya know...........there IS one measure in which I can see SHSU getting deference from the committee, but I don't know that they look at it this way and it is not one of their "official" criteria.

But first, let me set the stage. As much as we talk about how we hate regional pairings (and I most certainly do), the committee probably doesn't know "what all the fuss is about" when this phenomenon comes to NDSU. They have literally thrown the "kitchen sink" of FCS football at the Bison in this Championship run (although, admittedly, the committee can only "set the table", but teams must actually win to get a crack at NDSU). Get this though..........in an astounding display of dynastic power in the last 5 years of FCS playoffs, NDSU has beaten 15 different teams/programs in the 20 playoff games (and 5 titles) it has won!!

As you might expect, nobody has come even close to beating the breadth of teams in the playoffs as NDSU has over the last 5 years. New Hampshire, Jacksonville State, Eastern Washington and Illinois State all fall in far behind the Bison with 5 different teams/programs beat in the playoffs over that time. Montana and UNI are next with 4 different teams/programs beat. SDSU is among a group of 5 teams that have beaten 3 different programs over that time.

But wait a minute!! There is another program that comes into the picture here. That's right. We circle back to my original topic of Sam Houston State. Sammy, in it's 17 playoff games in the last 5 seasons, has beaten 11 different teams/programs............by far a wider breadth of playoff victories than any other program in the nation, except NDSU.

They may not have the strength of schedule this year, nor in the past. But once they get there, and except for losing to NDSU three times (no shame in that! :)), they've mostly brought the goods.

[Bison03]

Sam Houston has been the best playoff team in the past 5 years not named NDSU. They play in a cupcake conference. Ut they do kick it in come December.

[bisonaudit]

The fuss about regionalization has somewhat less to do specifically with NDSU and somewhat more to do with putting every team from the strongest conference in the country in the same half of the bracket.

[bisonaudit]

Sam Houston has been the best playoff team in the past 5 years not named NDSU. They play in a cupcake conference. Ut they do kick it in come December.

The only other team that's even been in the field each of the last 5 seasons is New Hampshire.

[Christopher Moen]

Looking at NDSU's first game playoff games during the championship streak:

2011: Beat JMU 26-14.
2012: Beat SDSU 28-3. Rematch of a game played three weeks prior.
2013: Beat Furman 38-7. I believe this was the game that got played prior to the announcement of Bohl leaving.
2014: Beat SDSU 27-24. Rematch of a game played five weeks prior.
2015: Beat Montana 37-6. Rematch of FCS Kick-off game played earlier in the season.

Other rematches played:
2012: Beat GSU and SHSU in the SF and Championship Game respectively for the second year in a row.
2014: Beat Coastal Carolina for the second year in a row in a QF game. Also beat SHSU in the SF game.
2015: Beat Northern Iowa in the QF game. A rematch from a game played two month earlier.

Outside of playing SDSU and UNI, regionalization hasn't been much of an issue for NDSU. However, the Bison do seem to get stuck in the tougher side of the bracket being that their side has won the National Championship the past six years.

[FCS Nation]

The Citadel is undefeated too and they actually have a better SOS then sammy. Sammy fans are just butt hurt that they have nothing to defend that weak schedule they put together. I really hope UCA shuts them up this weekend but I doubt it will happen.

The Citadel has a better SOS than Jacksonville State too and plays in what Mr. Massey and Mr. Sagarin say is the 2nd toughest conference in the FCS...

[bisonfanette]

No wonder you are from Minnesota. You want something and expect someone else to pay for it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, partner!
You were doing just fine until you played the Minnesota card!
I PAY for IT! :biggrin: (Game day program page 80!) Carry on!!!
(Our athletic budget is approximately 20 million. Not even close to what it takes for FBS.)
Now back to your regular scheduled program.

[kab1one]

why is regionalization an issue? Last year we played one MVFC team in the playoffs, the rest got beat. So non issue. This year UND and MVFC could be played. One conference play off and one team that is local. Is this regionallization.

[BisonHorns]

If you ask me the regionalization could be a gift if we get an easy game against Un_ but it would stink if we have to grind out another close game with SDSU. Best scenario for my likings would be bringing in teams from as far away as possible, the ones I would never get to see on person otherwise.

[Son of a Bison]

Every week the rankings have changed. How sure are we that if we win we are still number 1? The committee contradicted themselves repeatedly with their current ranking and could screw this up easily.

[bisonaudit]

Yep. No idea where things will actually end up no matter what happens today.

[MNLonghorn10]

Without any unsuspected losses, things will be status quo as they currently are

[Bison03]

Regionalization sucks because it does not evenly distribute the teams. If we are the 1 seed, we should be playing the winner of the 15 vs 16 best non-seeded teams, when we could see SDSU or UND who will be just missing out of a seed at 9 or 10. I get that they dont rank outside the top 8, but it seems like this happens a lot. It sucks for that higer ranked te to have to go play the 1 seed too. 2012 had a top ranked Jacks team coming to Fargo.

Top 10 matters nothing after today. UND and SDSU are basically BOTH primed for a seed, if SDSU wins. That's what that means.

Should be SDSU 7 and UND 8 to avoid conference matchups. Easy decision in my mind if NDSU is 1 and EWU is 2.

You could avoid conference matchups in the quarters as well. Both und and sdsu are bus rides, so why not? Sdsu is better than und anyway.

[DIBISON]

IMO there is no doubt now that SDSU will be seeded higher than UND. After W/L record the Jacks are far superior in SOS, Sagarin and resume. MVFC Champ is also worth more than BSC Champ based on conference rank. Whether Bison fans like it or not the Jacks have a very impressive win today which will still be remembered by the committee members tonight. It's a no brainer to rank SDSU ahead of UND.

I'd much rather have UND coming to Fargo in the quarterfinals than SDSU.

So much this

[wagsabison]

You could avoid conference matchups in the quarters as well. Both und and sdsu are bus rides, so why not? Sdsu is better than und anyway.

SDSU has more of the qualities of a team that can hurt us (they already have). UND doesn't scare me but I think they'd keep it close. They also have pulled out a lot of games late. We seem to enjoy giving teams a chance in the 4th quarter

For anyone who thinks logically, you are spot on. We are talking about the committee here.

[WFBisonFan]

With SDSU's impressive win today...does UND have a shot at even being #8? If not, then they would more than likely host a 1st round game, correct? (that is if they bid high enough)

SHSU 3
JSU 4
JMU 5
Citadel 6
SDSU 7

I see Sdsu at 8 with Und having less losses and undefeated in conference

[Bison Bridge Guy]

NDSU 1

JSU 4

Why do you think SHSU moves up?

They don't seed based on conference matchups

I know. That's why I said sdsu is better than und anyway

[MNLonghorn10]

Why do you think SHSU moves up?

the battle of shit schedules besides @ lsu for jsu...shsu did dismantle central arkansas, the only challenger for either schedule.


you could flip a coin i suppose

Really don't know how good UCA really was either. Makes it kind of tough to guess who's better than who.

[Professor Chaos]

JMU should be above both SHSU and JSU. I'd argue that The Citadel should be above JSU also.

What it should be:

1) NDSU
2) EWU
3) JMU
4) SHSU
5) The Citadel
6) JSU
7) SDSU
8) UND

Then again, JSU's AD is on the selection committee...

[NDSU1980]

Und is going to be seededThey might be seeded now, but I suspect they get planted in their first and only playoff game.

[RonMexico]

I have no faith in the committee making NDSU any higher than a 3 seed.

Based on??? Hyper-paranoia???

The only time NDSU has been less than a #2 seed over the last 6 years is the only time they had more than 1 FCS loss in any given season. As much as you may like to think otherwise the committee has seeded NDSU pretty generously over the last 5 years. The matchups they've fed into NDSU... well that's another story.

[Hammerhead]

NDSU vs. SDSU or EWU in Frisco would be epic.


Its going to be

NDSU 1
EWU 2
SHSU 3
JSU 4

[NDSUstudent]

My seeds....

1: NDSU
2: EWU
3: SHSU
4: JMU
5: JSU
6: The Citadel
7: SDSU
8: UND

The firetrucks think they match up better with us than they do with the Jacks.

Have to think like the committee. Based on resumes, JMU should probably be at least 4th. maybe 3rd. Should be at least 5th. Committee likes to spread the wealth. They may mess up the bottom seeds. Which I could see SDSU not even being seeded and there always seems to be a head scratcher team that gets in.
