FCS Playoff Committee to Announce First Top 10 Rankings on November 2nd

[Christopher Moen]

That would be great. After their 4th consecutive false start (you know, can't go to fast when you have "southern speed") in a row that the crowd is unsportsmanlike at the dome. Making all that noise when their defense is on the field and then quiet when NDSU takes the field.

All that noise when their defense is on the field! Wait, have I been doing it wrong all this time?

Sorry it was phrased badly. I meant "they" as in NDSU (from JSU perspective).

Leaving aside the underrepresentation of the MVFC, Elon isn’t an at large team let alone a seed and Northern Arizona is too low.

JSU is way too high, they will most likely get bounced in the first game as usual.

My fear is if we loose 1 of the last 3 we could end up 5th and if the loss was to USD they would end up 4th and we would re-match them in Vermilion and have to travel to JMU just to get to Frisco. If we do win out both USD and SDSU drop down (losses to NDSU and 1 has to loose in their game) hoping 1 is seeded 8th that way they go to JMU.

Losing one will not drop NDSU to 5th seed. Plus SDSU and USD have to play each other yet. So there is a guaranteed lose for one of them.

JMU and NDSU are so head and shoulders above everyone else right now I think either team could lose a game and should still be the top 2 seeds. Unfortunately, I don't know that the committee would share those thoughts. I think it's possible NDSU could drop all the way to #5 if they lose to USD (behind JSU, UCA, and a 10-1 USD).

I understand everyone wants home playoff games because they are intense and a blast, but Im not slightly worried about having to go on the road. Imo, NDSU plays better football on the road

Don’t understand how Sam Houston continues to get love. Haven’t they proven year after year they are hollow?

I got ripped to shreds on an FCS Facebook group for saying having two Southland teams ranked 4 & 5 in that group's poll was mind-boggling. I proceeded to call JSU and SHSU paper tigers and you would have think I just announced NDSU and the MVFC the greatest in all of football. Sorry, they don't play anyone worth a damn and SHSU isn't blowing away people like they usually do.

NDSU shouldn't drop a spot if they lose a game in the last three. It would be irresponsible and outlandish of the committee to do so. With that said, wouldn't be worried if we had to go on the road. Just don't see it happening. Now as far as USD is concerned, I hope they stay at 5, rise to 4 with a potential win over NDSU or drop to 8 with a potential loss to NDSU. Keep them and SDSU on the other side of the bracket. Get some new blood up in here!

Wait a minute, I thought we were going to have to travel to UN_ this year?????
