Personally I don't think Montana St would have much of a shot in a potential road semifinal in Brookings. Check out their road schedule this year; they played all their tough opponents at home and they struggled mightily on the road against both EWU in NAU who they should've been clearly better than. Add to that the fact that SDSU has the best run defense in the country so Touchdown Tommy is going to have to throw the ball to keep them honest and I just don't see it happening. The prayers he threw and completed against them in the semis last year aren't likely to be answered again.
1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS
Any of you guys ever watch a jackrabbit playoff game before eh
Lardsin must go!
I think Incarnate Word is a dark horse title contender. They're underrated as the #7 seed based on these odds back as well as the Massey and Sagarin ratings. They're kind of the new Sam Houston beating up a soft Southland conference schedule but I don't even think Sam Houston dominated the way these guys have this year. They're averaging 52.9 points per game (1st in the FCS) and only giving up 19.1 (9th in the FCS). They're averaging 8.31 yards per play (1st in the FCS) and only allowing 4.45 (5th in the FCS). Their team passing efficiency of 210 is 1st in the FCS and almost 25 points higher than #2.
Another wild (or probably sad) thing about them is they only averaged about 2,600 fans at home this season. I'm pretty sure their coach will be gone to greener pastures soon. At the very least it'll be interesting to see how they match up with better competition. No matter who wins the Furman/Elon matchup that feeds into them that'll be a tough team and if they win that they probably are going to Sac St in the quarters. If the Bison end up hosting a semifinal this year they would be the most likely opponent.
+800 might bankrupt me if Roehl does something stupid but Bison Country, Let's Ride.
