    Think it helps that ML is on the committee now. Past committees had different membership.
    Usually the schools of committee members don't get screwed over.

    Bracket looks pretty good. Cant complain. Love our side of the bracket. Beat down the griz, beat Samford, then likely host a semifinal as Sac will inevitably lose.

    Wild speculation but looking at the results I'd have to guess it was a "valley only gets three teams in, but we'll make SDSU #1 and NDSU #3 (probably a big thing on Larsen's wish list to not pod us up) instead of #2 and #4

    Reminds me of the time the CAA got 6 seeds but all their teams got put in underdog situations and they lost every game they played against non-CAA teams
    I'd also guess Montana gets the nod because they'll sell more tickets than other bubble teams. Definitely can't hurt their case getting in the field.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    Jay Walker blubbering about a team that plays in a conference that doesn't participate in the FCS playoffs, it is pathetic.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    Love this bracket. It couldn't have been more perfect for a non 1 or 2

    And I wish the other two had been brave enough to point out the conference has made a choice……

    I thought Sac State would be 1, but seems like the Iowa and Arizona losses didnt hurt at all.

    Thinking 2015... similar situation with Illinois State... had the higher seed and lost to Richmond, giving the Bison a home Semi Final game

    It could happen...
