Re: FCS Playoff First Round Thread
Interesting to see if San Diego can end another Big Fluffy team's season.
I think all MVFC teams advance with ease.

I really don't see UNI beating SDSU again unless the weather is really bad. They have a week off to rest and prepare.

If it's an all Valley final again like it was against ISU, you can bet every Valley team next year is going be on the same side of the bracket and will meet each other as soon as possible.
Re: FCS Playoff First Round Thread
Sdsu UCA if they play, could be high scoring
Re: FCS Playoff First Round Thread
Sagarin's take on the lines home team in bold:
Stony Brook -19.0 over Lehigh 92%
Western Illinois -1.5 over Weber State 55%
Northern Iowa -20.5 over Monmouth-NJ 93%
New Hampshire -7.0 over Central Connecticut 70% (I can't believe UNH made the tournament AGAIN. Who do they have pictures of?)
Kennesaw State -1.0 over Samford 53%
South Dakota -16.5 over Nicholls State 89% (bully for them putting in a bid but they shouldn't be in the tournament, worst at-large of the year)
Furman -7.0 over Elon 69%
Northern Arizona -14.5 over San Diego 86%
Straigh-up just a smidge over 6 out of 8 correct would be a good day for the projection.
3 road dogs and one home game inside the advantage. Stupid bids.

The mvfc should just break away and be like the ivy league. Just play for the mvfc championship.
Re: FCS Playoff First Round Thread
Assuming all these are ESPN3 again?
