    Then who isn’t a mediocre team? NDSU, SDSU, EWU, JMU, Ill St?, Kennesaw?

    UND scored a TD with about 3 minutes left in the game, their only 4th quarter score. Weber was better, but hardly a blowout.
    If the Bison won a game that close Bisonville would shut down in panic.

    NDSU, SDSU, EWU and WSU are good and there might be a few more beyond that but it doesn't take much until you get into a wasteland of mediocrity.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    Like beating SDSU by 4 points?
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    I am a lot more concerned with the committee getting seeds wrong then I am about what they will do with the mediocre MVFC bubble teams. They could easily throw NDSU, SDSU, JMU and EWU all into one half of the bracket.

    Wofford at Elon vs 1. NDSU
    Sacred Heart at Towson vs. 8. Colgate

    Nicholls at Jacksonville St vs. 4. Kennesaw St
    ETSU at James Madison vs. 5. Maine

    SEMO at UNI vs. 3. SDSU
    San Diego at Weber St vs. 6. UC-Davis

    Monmouth at Delaware vs. 7. Stony Brook
    Idaho St at Montana vs. 2. Eastern Washington

    Notes:
    Last weekend is always crazy. I have ISU beating Weber to get in. UND loses. JMU loses. Maine weak conference sched but committee may overlook that. I think a 6-5 MVC team gets in. UNI with wins over ISUR, SDSU, and ISUB, plus tough OOC sched. Monmouth sneaks in with weak bubble.

    OK. So you can’t get to 8 seeds let alone 14 at large or 24 teams before you get to “mediocre”. Not a very helpful standard.

    I agree with that. Seeding the wrong teams and getting the seeds wrong is where the committee damages the tournament the most.

    The winner of Towson/JMU should be seeded over Stony Brook. Stony Brook lost to both of those teams... and lost to Towson convincingly.

    Wonder what effect, if any, of understanding being independent has.
    Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
    Scrooge-"Are there no prisons?". "Plenty of prisons..."
    Scrooge-"And the Union workhouses." . "Are they still in operation?". "Both very busy, sir..."
    "Those who are badly off must go there."
    "Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
    Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
