The selection show is 10:00 on ESPNU

Klieman will be on the selection show for an interview.

Last year they posted the top 4 seeds just before the show. I'm guessing they'll do the same this year.

yep. lets take away the opportunity to put 2 match ups between 4 co conference champs.

[scottietohottie]

Here have the number one seed and then will just stack the bracket. Still comes back to should have beat the jacks the first time. Don't give the committee a chance to do this.

[NDSUstudent]

I have no idea. Is Cal Poly good?

Weak defense but their triple option is always hard to prep for...good thing we have an extra week.

[No_Skill]

I have no idea. Is Cal Poly good?

Triple option pound it at you team.

Linebackers out won't be good for the Cal Poly game.

They are still doing their best to not have 2 teams from the same conference meet in the championship game.

That's what makes me irritated about this.
It's also a lack of respect for the Missouri Valley......
......just like last year......

[FFBison]

Regionalization hidden by seeding...could have easily flipped NDSU/UND to avoid MVFC and Big Sky matchups. But being that UND didn't play EWU, that may have had a factor as well.

Whatever...let's heal up and crush whatever opponent is in front of us. Home field.

[MNLonghorn10]

well at least NDSU gets 2 weeks to prepare for the triple option and get the new LB's situated since im sure PGT will be a no go.

[Mr Meaty]

No road will be easy. I like our side of the bracket. Shsu won't make it that far.

[JMB]

I think Cal Poly played San Diego this year. I hate it when they do that.

[MNLonghorn10]

Fighting Bo Pelinis @ JSU will be interesting

[bisonaudit]

SDSU again. 2 of the 4 best teams in the country meeting in the quarters. So dumb. They could have given us UND for the same money and avoided 2 conference head to heads, instead creating cross conference cochamp games. Fucking NC A&T with an at large. They might not beat San Diego. At least the MVFC got 4 in. The rest of this is pretty much garbage.

[NDSUBowler]

Awful draw for NDSU.

But whatever...gotta win them all anyways so bring it on.

[Hammersmith]

AGS nails it again with 24 of 24. Only thing they got wrong was UND & SDSU being flipped.

[ndsubison1]

Cal Poly will be tough with that offense. Defense has to be ready to play. Offense has to put up some points

[Wally]

Death, taxes, sdsu vs NDSU in the playoffs.

[JMB]

Think about this... 3 of the top 8 are from the two Dakotas... Screw the south!

[bisonaudit]

A little concerned with our LB core beat up and no Tanguay but our d-backs are good in run support. Spread passing games scare me more.

Forget about SDSU for now. CAL POLY beat them in Brookings and ran for 440 yards and over seven a rush. This side of the bracket is going to be a brutal gauntlet.

[leeshajo]

You mean the 110-109 score? (btw not even sure that is possible) and utter lack of defense?

Agree about UNDs path and Richmond's state, but I'd still be shocked if NCAT won that game. That's a terrible at large selection by the committee.

Both teams were not seeded, so it would have been based on bid...It was always assumed we'd have the game.

[MNLonghorn10]

Would that have been an NDSU home game? Didn't recall that.

I think NDSU had the higher bid

[NDSUstudent]

So NDSU gets paired with the seed with the 5th best chance to win the title? Makes sense FCS committee.

But, they're 9-2, so they've got to be better than a 5-6 UNI team, right?

NCAT had to lose to selected and the team that beat them would not have been selected. That alone should have have enough red flags.

[Professor Chaos]

I love the bracket! A chance at revenge in the quarters. A great chance for the defense to silence the critics with some prolific passing offenses on our side of the bracket. It's time for the Bison playoff machine to get rolling!

[No_Skill]

Just saw the reaction of the SDSU team to getting the 8 seed. They were pumped. Definitely look like a team who wants to knock us out.

Big lovefest for the Bison on the show...

I don't have a problem with the bracket. Just slightly surprised at 7 and 8. I really thought they would be flipped around to present some seriously interesting quarterfinal matchups. Mostly I wanted to see a potential EWU/SDSU matchup. We got the #1 seed, now it is time to play like the #1 seed, and destroy everyone in the Bison path to Frisco in the dome.

[td577]

I agree. They threw everything they had into that game.

Wofford hosts Chas So with the winner at The General. I really don't want to see Wofford again this season. Their defense is excellent. The Citadel owes the Bucs....

Hard to flip 7 and 8 based on objective criteria. Better record and they do have a common opponent. One lost at home I think.

They don't seed based on future matchups according to the Chairman.

No it isn't hard. SDSU would still be under seeded at 7 and UND over seeded at 8, based say on the objective evaluation of Sagarin algorithm, just for example.

[bisonaudit]

Not sure why Cal Poly SD rematch. Is that a bus trip?

[FFBison]

There should be no reason we can't run on the bunnies if that matchup presents itself...right? We sure didn't in the first matchup, but did big Zack play that game?

[NDSUstudent]

Yep...only way to avoid two long flights was to pair them up so they could bus.

You forgot the objective criteria related to SOS, SRS rating, Sagarin rating, and overall conference strength. Other than the overall record SDSU is much stronger based on all of the rating and ranking criteria. SDSU should have been seeded higher than UND.

Maybe SDSU should have beat Cal Poly.

I guess some people are scared of the Rabbits. Our objective is to win it all. It's not about going to a certain round. Therefore, it's immaterial who we play and when.

If SDSU had lost one less game than I would agree with you

[thebigund]

One thing you should know about Poly is that their QB is actually a really good passer. Because of that it's more of a quadruple option. Their D isn't all that great though. Should be a fun game for you guys.

He was 13 of 14 passing for 191 yards and 2 TDs last night. He also rushed 18 times for 147 yards and a TD.

For the year he is 91 of 139 for 1,445 yards and 17 TDs and 4 INTs. He has rushed 149 times for 684 yards and 9 TDs. He does not throw a lot, but he is efficient when he does.

Defense is where we have struggled. We give up 130 yards rushing and 268 yards passing a game (399 total yards a game).

Think about the opportunity for those Bison fans who did not get tickets to order from the UN_ ticket office. They have no method to vet based on location and likely do not have the season ticket holder base to grab their allocation. Even SoCalled would get tickets IF he had them sent to his parental home.

Post on sdsufans.com from a delusional and bitter yote fan (yoteforever): After watching the USD / NDSU game yesterday, and being in Brookings last week, there's no reason you don't beat the Bison by 10 or more. I said it before, and I'll say it again...you are the best team in the league. If the MVFC is the best conference, I do think you can win it all.

Think about the opportunity for those Bison fans who did not get tickets to order from the UN_ ticket office. They have no method to vet based on location and likely do not have the season ticket holder base to grab their allocation. Even SoCalled would get tickets IF he had them sent to his parental home.

Its hockies season. There will be plenty of Frisco tics.

[StL Bison Fan]

NDSU and SDSU do not have the same overall record. Apparently Jacob forgot the Jackrabbits have 3x the losses the Bison have this year (hopefully it will be 4x after all is said and done).

How can this guy have a job coaching in the MVFC and not even understand the rules? Nice hire Stig. Maybe you should take away his twitter account.

[MNLonghorn10]

did coach dickert whine about this the x amount of other times NDSU had to share a title with UNI/ISUR etc?

shows you how small time they are when they actually care about sharing a title. lulz

[scbison91]

Does SDSU travel here if it comes to that? We wouldn't go there in the playoffs as a result of losing to them in regular season would we? You get the #1 seed for reason.. sheesh.

Most think they already won a potential playoff game against NDSU. In fact, some think that Cal Poly will beat NDSU. Maybe the Jacks will make all these plans and end up losing to Villanova.

Per Haley tweet. Kind of sad, but next man up. Will they win to face the undies?

As Richmond @SpiderFootball feared. QB Kyle Lauletta has a torn ACL and his season is over. Spiders next host @NCATAGGIES in #FCSPlayoffs.

Tweet is cut off and it's a stupid tweet, but I looked at the whole thing and I agree with him. If two teams finish with the same record and won the head to head they should be outright champions.

What are we teaching our youth when two teams have the same record but one team lost the head to head yet can still share the title????

this makes sense when you play all the teams in your conference. But the mvfc (and the bsc) dont play everyone- thus rules like this. another good reason not to expand.

[MNLonghorn10]

he sure as shit wouldn't have tweeted that had both teams been 7-4 and on the bubble with SDSU getting the AQ, while NDSU had to sweat it out.

I don't think our coaches whined when UNI painted another conference title on the garage door in 2011.

The more I think about this the more it makes sense to me it would be impossible to create any tiebreakers when everyone doesn't play each other, even when you have situations like this where SDSU and NDSU did play each other. What if there was a third team tied that one of the other two didn't play? It would get way too messy to come up with a equitable solution. It is kind of funny that even though NDSU has the goal of winning a conference championship every season and acknowledges it, it isn't that big of a deal. It means a lot less if finishing the playoffs without a W at this point. They should have beat ISUr and this wouldn't have been a conversation. They are conference champions and got the AQ. If that is all that matters to them, let them have it. The Bison are really in the game for the second season.

Conference titles are nice but ill be happier with the national title.

Yes this is real...heard it with my own ears on 1660 this morning. Jorgenson even brought it up after the discussion with the chairman. My first reaction too was..."is that legit?" Then I figured it must be because who would be dumb enough to say it live on the radio waves. Then I though...members of this committee would be that dumb.

I have no idea if this is legit, but its certainly interesting.

Their bid clearly wasn't very high, they aren't hosting so the NCAA isn't getting any money from them. Guessing he misspoke.

[Hammersmith]

Got to be a misspeak. Haven't listened, but I'm sure he meant bid as in their resume and not bid as in how much money. I believe they don't open the bids until the entire field is set.

I believe the order of events goes something like this:

1. Committee members introduce teams for consideration.
2. Discussion is had on each team. When a team is being discussed, the conference rep for that team leaves the room.
3. Teams are voted on. Unanimous teams get put on the list.
4. More discussion and voting until the rest of the field is set.
5. Secret ballot to pick seeds. One vote and it's done.
6. Rest of field goes into the bracket using the NCAA guidelines and more discussion.
7. Bids are opened and home teams assigned.

I heard the interview, and it sure sounded like the bid was the main reason NC A&T got in. JJ thought maybe the MEAC helped them financially on the bid. He also thinks they will get pasted.

For those who think money is not a factor, you are a bit naive......

They're not even hosting vs Richmond (who averaged about 8k per home game last year). How could their bid be that astronomical? Even if it was it doesn't matter unless they make the quarters because if they win this week they're going to Grand Forks next week no matter what their bid was. I'm nearly positive the committee chair just bumbled his terms.

I also wouldn't be too sure about them getting pasted. Richmond's QB Lauletta tore his ACL in their last regular season game and they lost handily to a pretty bad William & Mary team. Of course that sets up UND to get a MEAC cupcake on their way to the quarters before they run into the red turf buzz saw in the "Big Sky Championship Game".

That's really weird. They made it sound like NC A&T got the home game. Now, i have no idea what they were talking about. both what the guy said, then JJ's comments after.

[cpa_guy]

I interpreted the chairman's comments to mean that the fact that NC A&T even submitted a bid offer (not the amount) was a representation of their intention to participate in the playoffs. I would imagine that most tops teams from the SWAC/MEAC never submit a bid.

[NDSUstudent]

From what I can remember NC A&T was one of the MEAC schools that wanted to compete in the playoffs, so I am not surprised they put in a bid and I'm sure they are very excited to be in the field.

[Bison"FANatic"]

Now that makes more sense then, it would suck if the committee invites a team to participate and then they decline. By them submitting a bid they basically said they would play.

SDSU should try its best to be quiet. Them and their fans have left a ton of stupid material on NDSU's bulletin board already, and if the match-up happens as it should in the QF, the Bison are going to be full throttle, especially #8:

https://twitter.com/Jaybartley34/status/787685380392833025

Yes, they won the regular season match-up, but that required them playing at their absolute best while the Bison were going through a tough situation that week. I'm looking forward to seeing the Bison in play-off beast mode - no mercy.
