    There shouldn't be any more than 3 Big Sky teams in the bracket and there should be at least 5 MVFC teams that are in. The Bison should at least be #2. For there it doesn't really matter.

    Nothing that employees of forum companies 'report' regarding NDSU can be believed or trusted as honest opinion.

    I think we deserve the 2 seed, however weren’t we the 3 seed last year with a fbs win. Didn’t the committee use some b.s. “quality loss” criteria last year? If they do it the same this year I would not doubt we are 3 or possibly 4.

    The mvfc hasn't had an out right champion since 2013. This should be taken into consideration.


    Lardsin must go!

UCA beat a likely seeded SHSU team and a McNeese team that looks to be safely on the right side of the bubble. If they're gonna put JSU in front of NDSU they should put UCA in front also. So why do Haley and Izzo think the committe will jump UCA but not JSU (both were ranked in front of NDSU in the committee's last ranking release)? How it should be is NDSU at 2, UCA at 3, and JSU at 4.

    But then you have JSU's AD on the selection committee.....

    I know... he has to leave the room when they officially discuss his team but he was on the committee last year too when they overseeded JSU. If they do it again this year there's no denying the trend here.
    This is pretty good info. If they put ndsu up in front it likely due to SoS. So then UCA should really go in front too.

    They are #7 in that bracket. The controversial decision there is not seeding 10-1 SHSU. Especially when they are seeding a 3 loss WIU.

    Quality loss was a factor. I have a feeling it will be used again. IMO a loss is a loss.

    Not gonna go into a whole bracket but I bet they go

    E
    3. North Dakota State vs. EWU/USD
    6. South Dakota State vs. shit east coast school/UNI

    So many bus rides in that scenario. Probably will even go

    7. SUU vs. San Diego/Weber St.

    They will throw WIU on the other side of the bracket to satisfy their rule.

    If the term “quality loss” is actually used by someone on the committee there needs to be a serious look at what we’re doing here. As for the JSU AD ‘leaving the room’, I saw enough head scratching placements of UNH a few years back to believe there’s still plenty of bias.
