Hambone Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Alright - thought we could do some prognosticating and do some picks for the first round. Additionally, other than the main game of interest (Richmond/A&T) we can have some general playoff discussion within. Here are the games to pick: Saint Francis at Villanova Weber State at ChattanoogaLehigh at New HampshireNorth Carolina A&T at RichmondCharleston Southern at WoffordIllinois State at Central ArkansasSamford at Youngstown StateSan Diego at Cal Poly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambone Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 As it relates to the first round, I think the game I'm most interested in is ISUred against Central Arkansas. ISUred has been playing well lately, and Central Arkansas was in the running for a seed until the last week of the regular season. A lot of people thought that a 6 win MVFC team should not be in, as they weren't as dominant as a conference this year as they were last year when Western Illinois got in. Personally I believe Albany should have gotten in ahead of them, but they didn't so we're left wondering if ISU deserved it. Also am hoping that Weber is able to pull off the upset at Chatty, although I think that Weber's offense isn't strong enough to get much going against a stout Chattanooga defense. Although I didn't get a chance to see the Weber game, a few people have told me that other than NAU they thought that Weber was the toughest team we played. I'm ready for some post season football.

Weber will have a tough game. However if you don't pressure their QB he can pick you apart. They also have a big TE. Also wondering if New Hampshire might pull it off at home.

UNH doesn't have much luck against teams capable of making the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to implement that as well! I pinged Jim about this (as he's mostly unavailable this week). His answer: Quote The hockey bracket isn’t particularly re-usable because it’s tied into the hockey team database, so it would really be a from-scratch effort. Hopefully this is the first year of many, and I can throw something together in the off season when I have more time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
