I realize that, I'm saying since they've been releasing weekly rankings and everyone knows we'd be the 9 seed in that situation, would they set us up with a team we would outbid like Western Illinois, rather than someone like Montana who would outbid us to avoid sending the #9 team in their rankings on the road?

Maybe I'm giving the committee too much credit but that's my thought process. I am with you. It would look bad to put the #9, #10, #11, #12 seed on the road. For the most part, these guys should know enough to not let it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they match up the teams first and then open the bids. So to answer your question, I believe you are giving the committee to much credit. They will pair teams up based on regionalization, unless they change from previous years. I know they are giving lip service to not do regionalization, but until they actually follow through on it, you have to suspect it will remain the same.

That's a really good point that I didn't really think about before you said it. Of course teams (like SDSU last year) have probably been the 9 team sent on the road, but this is the first year that everyone knows for a fact who the #9 team is. Given that both are flights, I would think that they'd match whoever is #9 and #10 (UND, SDSU, Richmond, UCA) with teams that they could outbid. It would look really bad to have UND go play at Montana. Great point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Richmond 7 W&M 3 -- Richmond moves down and scores with little trouble. Not sure if W&M's offense has picked up a yard yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'd say Richmond is going through the W&M defense like a hot knife through butter, but it's more like through cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 W&M has looked better as the game as progressed. Should be a fun finish. Richmond 10 W&M 3 5:44 Left Q2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'll never understand the lack of clock management skills from college coaches. Why W&M took a timeout on 3rd and 4 at the beginning of the play clock when the clock was running is beyond me. That single handily cost them 3 points as Richmond kicked a FG with 4 seconds left in the half. Richmond 13 W&M 6 Half W&M has had the play in the red zone 3 times and only has 6 points. The big story line for the second half is if Richmond's QB is out for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFan100 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 W&M has a chance to win this game. Does it put a little doubt in selection committee if Richmond struggles against a losing record team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFan100 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 W&M needs to adjust their defense to stop the run (as announcers have stated) if Richmond qb is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think how a team is playing coming down the stretch should factor into it just a little bit. However we were rolling our last 3 games last year and it didn't matter but who knows.
