2016 FCS Playoffs - First Round

[Risky]

Maybe those 5 loss MVFC teams shouldn't get in the playoffs.

I'm not saying I disagree with you, but if after watching the game today you think ISU didn't look like they belonged based on their play, we weren't watching the same game. Game could have easily gone the other way. 

All that being said, I'm not sure why the committee decided to put a 5 loss team in ahead of some of the others.

[Risky]

Maybe the 4 loss teams that didn't get in might have given them a good game too.  I think we can all agree there are always teams  that get in that possibly shouldn't be there.

Nova is going to give sdsu all they can handle.   Nova's d is legit and  #92 for them is a Monster!!......6'7" 300 de.  

The caa teams are very battle tested. All three caa teams that played today exploited their opponents.

cal poly down 0-14

they have looked like crap the last 5 weeks.   3-2 with narrow wins over sac st and UC-Davis.  Now this.

That 5 loss MVFC team looked a lot better than either Big Sky team. BSC should have only gotten 2 in this year. Weber is atrocious and Cal Poly has looked terrible since they beat SDSU. Typical Poly, no depth and as the year goes On they struggle

Weber definitely had a very poor showing vs a team that in my opinion beats SHSU next weekend.

A loss is a loss - oh I forgot in the MVFC it's about quality losses.

If not for such a weak bubble this year Weber wouldn't have been in.   Weber had 30 yards less of offense against chatty than bama did last week.  Five TOs and two return for tds do not help.

I'm not sure why that line keeps getting parroted here. All losses are not created equal. Do you really think that today's double overtime Michigan loss to Ohio state is viewed the same way as a blowout loss in regulation to a conference bottom feeder like Illinois? Who you lose to and how you play in that game matters, not sure why some in here find this concept so difficult to understand.

You are using extremes a majority of "Quality losses" are in the eye of the beholder.

You said a loss is a loss. It's simply not a true statement.

[CMSioux]

Not really interested in feeding you -

Pol just tied it at 14.

This time of year it is.  What time does ISU-R play next week?

[JohnboyND7]

When looking at MVFC teams,  it gets tricky. they are almost certainly going to lose to NDSU. many play an FBS game,  and suddenly they are already looking at two likely losses right off the bat.

I don't think anyone less than 8-3 should be in the playoffs though.  6-5, 7-4 is not any good.  reduce the size of the field if necessary.  making the playoffs should be an accomplishment.

I personally like larger playoff fields. Look at the upsets that happen across all sports during one and done playoffs. It adds to the excitement for me anyway.

So a loss is a loss this time of year?

San Diego takes the lead 21-14.....Cal poly don't deserve to win.  San Diego is winning/ dominating every aspect.    

[bincitysioux]

 

Poly down 14 in the 4th.

Big Sky teams not performing well today.  

[bincitysioux]

Hah!  60 yard pick six for CP defensive lineman.

CP down 7 with 8 minutes left

D Linemen 60 yard pick six. I need to see that one.

Tough day for the conference today.  

Looking forward to next weekend.  Lots of good matchups on paper.  Feel sorry for San Diego as that game may finish like Weber's game today.

[UND-FB-FAN]

Big Sky Conference looked quite mediocre today.
