Will be largely beneficial in terms of rightful home field. Also, there was talk in terms of a change in time-frame of the playoffs. That is, they want to avoid playing games over Thanksgiving weekends in order to avoid the associated poor crowds. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Seeding the top 16 teams is the right thing to do. I agree with the statement that says the 9 seed is treated the same as the 24 seed. If you are a top 16 seed in the country, you deserve to host a playoff game no matter how small your stadium or school is. Seeding the top 16 teams will also help solve the problem with regionalization. Now sure, they can always drop down a team a spot to ensure they play close to home, but it it would not be as easy.

We left ourselves open to being screwed, that was our fault. Can't blame the committee for that. We tossed them a soft one underhand and they blasted it out of the park. Quote

In any case I hope Bubba and his team will continue to improve, they have been making excellent progress, its another season and another opportunity to Grow UND football. Quote

When it comes to Western Illinois with more losses than us getting in, yes I can blame the committee for that. 5 Quote

First time a school has even been chosen with five loses and first time a school that was 7-4 has not been chosen. So do you believe that if we would have beat Idaho State and lost to Portland State we would have been chosen? 1 Quote

We can only control the games and we should have won two more than we did but we pissed them down our pants. That's not the committees fault. The committee blew it but we let them. 1 Quote
