    Default Unseeded National Champion

    Someone correct me if this isn't accurate, but my research shows the 1992 Marshall Thundering Herd with a regular season record of 8-3 as the last unseeded national champion. If you look at that box score it looks like a crazy game with Marshall winning with a late field goal over YSU.

    Let's hope our Thundering Herd to do it again!! Go Bison!

    Looks to me like 2004 JMU was the last unseeded team to do it. They were 9-2 instead of 8-3 though.
    They played at 2 seed Furman and 3 seed W&M

    It would be great to do it this year, and take their spot as the most recent team to win it all unseeded.

    All I can say, is if they pulled it of, going through potentially Bozeman and Missoula would be epic.

    Great catch, I missed that one! Look, JMU won 14 to 13 in their first two games, that is crazy!

    no way it jinxes it. When the playoff bracket gives you a gift like this, it becomes destiny. You just gotta believe.

    I don’t think you understand how jinxes work.
