2018 NCAA FCS Interactive Bracket https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/football/fcs/2018

Definitely a big game for the Hawks, especially the seniors. Could be last game even with a win, need some 6-4 teams to lose. Just seemed like this team should of been above the bubble. Hoping for a game over Thanksgiving.

Thnaks SWSiouxMN, you do good work!

Sac State Football@SacHornetsFB Last Saturday's game between Sacramento State and Northern Arizona has been cancelled due to poor air quality. Will the Lumberjacks have an advantage by not having to have played this game last week? No game injuries? Since N Ariz beat Weber(28-24) at home on 10-6, they lost to N Colo - Cal Poly - UC Davis and had this cancellation with Sac St.

Five of the 10 automatic bids have been secured. North Dakota State (Missouri Valley) Colgate (Patriot) Jacksonville State (Ohio Valley) Kennesaw State (Big South) San Diego (Pioneer). Yet to be determined as AQs Big Sky CAA Northeast Southern Southland The 24-team pairings will be announced during a selection show Sunday on ESPNU (12:30 p.m. ET).

We don't need your "I think"

Many 6-4 teams must lose, maybe even some 5-5 teams in their last game. It's a long shot, but there's a chance.

^^^ This is also the way I understood it.

Reminder .0001 7 months ago Duluth MH slipped in over MN for the last NCAA spot where something like a specific 8 teams had to lose. At this point, I'll take your "My guess" with a little spice. That being - - UND wins at home. Then loses at SDSU by 55 - 49 on a blocked punt returned for a TD with seconds left. As painful as that may be? Better "Having Been There Done That" verses the other option.

I was going to post this next. NCAA coaches poll 18 Delaware 7-3 19 Maine 7-3 20 Dartmouth 8-1 21 McNeese 6-4 22 San Diego 8-2 23 Southeast Missouri State 7-3 24 Indiana State 6-4 25 North Dakota 6-4

13 Wofford (7-3) 14 Elon (6-3) 15 Towson (7-3) 16 Maine (7-3) 17 Delaware (7-3) 18 Nicholls (7-3) 19 ETSU (8-2) 20 Dartmouth (8-1) 21 San Diego (8-2) 22 McNeese (6-4) 23 Southeast Missouri State (7-3) 24 UIW (6-4) 25 Montana State (6-4) Others: Indiana St(124) 6-4 Idaho State (112) 6-4 Lamar (99) 6-4 Alcorn State (90) 7-3 Montana (89) 6-4 UNI (81) 5-5 Furman (74) 5-4 Nortth Dakota (72) 6-4

We have our work cut out, 8 spots below top 25. Both Montanas now above us. http://www.fcs.football/cfb/polls.asp?div=fcs

Just a reminder, have you lately had a Toe to the A$$.

And how that works, UND beats N Ariz Montana beats Montana St Weber beats Idaho St. Just a small part of all that has to fall into place for UND

We don't need your facts, get in your rusty yellow Dodge the bullet pickup and go home.

Go to Bisonville. Your humor would be appreciated there.

Right, we need to win = 7-4, and we need 6-4 teams to lose this weekend.

Northern Arizona Univeristy Lumberjacks 3-6 3:30 PM Central Time. Senior Day Walkup Skydome - FieldTurf (2002–present) - seating 11,230 Flagstaff, Ariz. TV: YOUR PHOENIX CW & PLUTO TV - Big Sky

11 games make it a challenge. Just don't like a committee picking the playoff teams.

Tough to beat the Pairwise (RPI in it and also as tie breaker) that the NCAA Div I hockey uses, no favoritism - no human judgement once the formula is in place for the season. Would have to be tweaked for FB. Minnesota got schooled last year with that misfire of a .0001 RPI. Giving Duluth an at bat and then hitting the Grand Slam! Human judgement / error could of put the Goofs in.

Actually we could get support from both the Big Sky and the MVFC verses them supporting some far away team. Our loses: FBS loss Idaho St 25-21 4 points Weber St 35-30 5 points Idaho 31-27 4 points Need N Ariz Win

I hope we do play one of them (MVFC team) in the Hawks Nest!!! That means we got by Northern Arizona. I'm sure these seniors want that crack. I have a good feeling about the right bid being in place for that to happen (bison73 said we had our bid in a long long time ago). We would not be a cake walk for that over rated Valley team. Then play the Cow U in the second round, ooohhh, let this happen, even if it's in that sh$th@le?.

Yes, and the inability to adjust coming out after the 2nd half, that 3rd quarter was really ugly this year.

There shouldn't of been any time left by the time we got close to the goal line on our final drive. We snapped with 11 to 18 seconds left on the last two possessions many times. Special teams and clock management need the most improvement. Not Div I material there.
