If they'd taken Towson over UNH I'd totally get it. Don't have to completely agree with it, but at least understand it. Why isn't this question being asked?

Explain New Hampshire's selection to the group please.

http://www.gobison.com/schedule.aspx?schedule=47&path=football http://siouxsports.com/football/schedule/und/ The resumes are quite similar.

The Idaho State loss was a killer, no question. I thought the road win at Poly with style points would get UND through.

That's what they should come out and say, like the FBS committee does.

He can't. UNH got in at #40.

59-7 in Fargo wasn't a bad loss I guess? Not according to Wilson. WIU didn't have any bad losses. Yeah, this one bothers me as well.

You can look at that schedule and make a decent case. http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/2197/eastern-illinois-panthers

Yes! That's the more difficult box to get out of!

7 wins each, EIU>UND in the SRS, no head-to-head, no common opponents, case closed.

Here's the thing, aren't quality wins and bad losses inherently built into the SRS? The more I think about it, set the threshold at 7, go down the list, open it up to the top 6 W teams if necessary, and call it a day.

He at least has a data point to lean on with EIU. UNH is the question nobody is asking.

His poor communication skills tipped off that he was a FU guy.

First caller, what I presume to be some crybaby FU fan re: MVFC on one side of the bracket.

Dialed it in, SONOS+TUNEIN radio rules!

For giggles let's say SRS was the system. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/football/fcs/simple-ratings-system The only at-large that would have changed is Western Carolina in, New Hampshire out. UND down the list behind UNA, Towson, a few others. Interestingly, this isn't the first time UNH has defied the numbers in getting selected. If I were Towson I'd be royally pissed also. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=ncf&id=14199098 Furthermore, say they made 7 DI wins a formal requirement and then followed the SRS objectively, Towson and North Dakota get in, New Hampshire and Western Illinois stay home, which seems about right to me. Not sure how EIU ranks that high in SRS, that still bugs me a bit...

You know it's egregious when Caillou is up in arms!

Vince has great sources, you don't have any. gfhockey = no information.

I highly doubt Claeys will turn down an extra month of practices.

The at-larges followed Sagarin to a tee, except North Dakota being 9 spots above UNH. (147 v 156). Strange indeed. Hockey is 100% objective, no gray area to screw us.

The whole selection pretty followed Sagarin to a tee, except this pesky detail: 147. North Dakota 156. New Hampshire Was looking for something, anything to explain this, and thought I'd found it. Then saw the above.

He's a numbskull. Too much helmet-to-helmet contact back in the Bills days.

I would bet hockey sticks with what they have for now, maybe shoulder patches at most.

The Ivall hawk and Hal from Angry Birds had a little chicklet!

Dear Ms. Neset: Shut him up. Thank you.
