Bracketology 3.0

Nah too easy for NDSU. All the good teams are on the wrong side of bracket.

Sent by my phone on a bullet train from Hillsboro.

That's how the number one seed us supposed to work.

But it don't matter anyways.

So the big question is what to do with Weber/Montana/Sac and SDSU/ISUr/UNI. They all beat eachother, you could argue they all deserve a seed, but where? do you look at point differential in the games?

Big Sky:
10/19: Montana 22 - Sac 49 (Montana -27, Sac +27)
11/2: Weber 36 - Sac 17 (Weber +19, Sac +8)
11/9: Weber 16 - Montana 35 (Weber even, Montana -8)
... Sac +8, Weber even, Montana -8 ...

Missouri Valley:
11/2: UNI 27 - ISUr 10 (UNI +17, ISUr -17)
11/9: ISUr 27 - SDSU 18 (ISUr -8, SDSU -9)
11/16: UNI 7 - SDSU 38 (UNI -14, SDSU +22)
... SDSU +22, ISUr -8, UNI -14 ...

Big Sky schools will be tougher to seed because if they all win next week, they all tie for the conference title. I can see UNI being left out of the seeding picture at this point.

If we're being honest their should be 4 Valley Schools Seeded, 3 Big Sky, and JMU. But that wont happen. Montana State can bring themselves into the picture if they beat Montana.

All 3 Big Sky have very good resumes. Id put Weber at 3 still, considering they beat UNI OOC. That being said, the committee is going to have some difficult decisions with seeding and the last couple teams in.

Holy smokes is the JMU side of that bracket overloaded

I was thinking the same thing.

That Weber St/Montana game wasn't as close as the 35-16 score indicated. Weber St outscored them 13-0 in the 4th quarter with their final TD coming with 14 seconds left in the game. They had less than 200 yards of total offense and were down 35-3 going into the 4th quarter.

I think Sac St still gets the edge on point differential.

NoBowls bracket...

This would be interesting...a whole slew of new teams in the Fargo Dome.

I think Sac St still gets the edge on point differential.

I think Sac state gets knocked since there loss came at home and Montana and Weber losses were on the road.

I dont see how you can separate the 3 Big Sky teams and it is hard to put a MVFC team in the middle of that sandwich

This is what i came up with trying to account for the bus trips. I can see the 5-7 seed matchups getting moved around.

CCSU @ Holy Cross vs. 1 NDSU
Albany @ Villanova vs. 8 Monmouth
San Diego @ Montana St vs. 5 Sac State
Furman @ Towson vs. 4 Weber State
SEMO @ SELA vs. 3 Montana
UCA @ Austin Peay vs. 6 Illinois State
Southern Ill @ UNI vs. 7 SDSU
Kenesaw @ Wofford vs. 2 JMU

Last 2 in: Kennesaw, SIU
First 2 out: Nicholls, UND

Good, let them have the "Bracket of Death."

[HerdThat!]

Montana meet up in Frisco would be awesome
