FCS Playoffs Round 1

[Bisonator98]

That would be great. If we win our first game we could have a second home playoff game. Teh tin shed would be rocking.

You sound confident.

He reminds me of that girl from the Jacksonville band that was on here last year. Funny how the Playoffs always seem to do this. Shit, what was here name?

I never assume anything with games, too many variables. For all I know our best players might eat the fish in pre game meal.

Really? You have Poly beating San Diego and NDSU.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Given UND was ahead of them the week before, why do you think SDSU should have leapfrogged them for beating a mediocre UNI team?

This right here!!

I should clarify, my teams games. It feels like bad karma.

-winner plays at SDSU

Weber State at Chattanooga 1 p.m.
-winner plays at SHSU

Lehigh at UNH 1 p.m.

I hope that a team with a really good pass defense and a reasonable offense plays EWU before we do, and by this is able to knock out EWU so NDSU does not have to face them. NDSU does a great job of rising to the occasion at this time of year and their pass defense has improved. Nevertheless, the pass defense is weaker for the Bison than their run defense and EWU with a great QB and a couple of great receivers is very strong where NDSU is weakest on defense (IMO). EWU might be the worst matchup for the Bison of all the teams in this field.

How is Illinois State's and Central Arkansas's pass defense, or UND's assuming UND gets by Richmond or NC ATT?

We lead the nation in INTs. Give up a good amount of yards but make plenty of plays.
