UNDBIZ

In short, no. The host bidding doesn't, or shouldn't, affect who is selected to make the 24 team field.

Committee made it fairly clear the quality of losses was more important than the quality of wins. WIU had better losses than us, and more of them, so obviously the committee couldn't turn them down.

IIRC, they're losing their qb and #1 wr.

According to the NCAA that was neutral ice. Let's be honest though, und will have more fans in the stands in any arena not located in St cloud.

Sdsu lost to 2 playoff teams and 1 playoff joke. PSU lost to one playoff team and 1 non playoff team. But losing to a non playoff team obviously doesn't make a team bad or unworthy of a top 3 seed.....

They got 1 against Illinois St.

northern Colorado was the same as south Dakota this year, yet ndsu got a 3 seed..... Your north Texas slam is ridiculous, but you know that. PSU slaughtered them anyway though.

Not if last spring was any indication of how scsu plays in the playoffs.

So they're well coached enough to not have let downs against bad teams, but not talented enough to beat good teams. Sounds like they're way better than a seeded PSU that beat 2 fbs teams who are both better than any win sdsu has.

What do ndsu's losses to Montana and south Dakota show, as far as playoff potential?

Portland St had the right to be upset as well. If their name is EWU with the exact same resume, they're probably a top 3 seed. 2 wins over fbs, one against a very good team and one absolutely dominating. Their losses came against UND, a team with a similar resume to Montana, and weber st, a better team on paper than south Dakota.....

Eastern Illinois - 0 quality wins, 3 blowout losses Sam Houston st - 0 quality wins, 1 bad loss New Hampshire - 1 quality win, 2 bad losses Western Illinois - FIVE LOSSES UND - 2 quality wins, 2 bad losses

They screwed us for Western Illinois

We may have just gotten F'Hawked

All mvfc teams will be on one side of bracket. Some old school wcha treatment there?

New Hampshire, Colgate, Sam Houston, and Suu in the James Madison and mcneese bracket

Unseeded teams in so far are Chattanooga, coastal Carolina, citadel, and Fordham. In the Jacksonville st Charleston southern bracket.

1. Jacksonville st 2. Illinois st 3. Ndsu 4. Mcneese 5. James Madison 6. Portland St 7. Richmond 8. Charleston southern

SUU didn't win a single game against a playoff team. Paper tigers. I wouldn't brag too much about beating them.

How many teams are in the mvfc? How many in the big Sky?

Weber St went 6-5, had wins over what should be 2 playoff teams, and didn't have any losses to "bad" teams. Where's the talk of them getting an at large spot?

Speaking of sdsu, how is Kansas doing this year?

Can't disagree with what you've put together. Unfortunate that all 3 Dakota teams are in the same bracket, but it's what I would do if I was a neutral member of the committee and wanted to save money.

Not a bad measuring stick.....
