Dagger Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just a reminder that before we beat them by 25 let’s just win the game. Remember there are 2 UND teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey23 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 So who is in? Big Sky-(4) Montana---will finish 10-2 or 9-3 Weber State--will finish 9-3 Sac State--will finish 9-3 or 8-4 Montana St.--will finish 9-3 or 8-4 CAA-(3) JMU--will finish 11-1(11-0 FCS) Villanova--will finish 9-3 Towson--will finish 8-4(8-3 FCS) MVC-(5) NDSU--will finish 12-0 Illinois St.--will finish 9-3(9-2 FCS) SDSU--will finish 9-3(9-2 FCS) UNI--will finish 8-4(8-3 FCS) S. Illinois--will finish 7-5(6-4 FCS, but with a FBS win and FBS loss and FCS losses to all playoff teams) Big South-(1) Monmouth--will finish 10-2(10-1 FCS) NEC-(1) CCSU--will finish 11-1(11-0 FCS) Patriot-(1) Holy Cross--will finish 7-5(7-3 FCS) Pioneer-(1) San Diego--will finish 9-2 Southern-(1) Wofford--will finish 8-3(8-2 FCS) OVC-(2) Austin Peay--will finish 9-3 SEMO--will finish 9-3(8-2 FCS) Southland-(2) C. Arkansas--will finish 9-3(9-2 FCS) Winner of SELA and Nichols St. wins the auto bid. IF SELA wins they are 8-3(8-2 FCS), if Nichols wins they are 8-4(8-3 FCS) That is 21 spots taken. The battle comes down to 10 teams for 3 spots. UND--a win gets them to 7-4 Furman--will finish 8-4(7-3 FCS) The Loser of the defacto championship game in the Southland will either be SELA who would be 7-4(7-3 FCS) or Nichols who would be 7-5(7-4 FCS) EWU--will likely finish 7-5(6-4 FCS) Kennesaw St.--will finish 10-2(8-1 FCS) Albany--will finish 8-4(8-3 FCS) Maine--with a win over UNH they would finish 7-5(7-4 FCS) and on a 5 game winning streak UT-Martin--with an upset win over Kentucky they would finish 8-4(7-3 FCS with an FBS win and loss) Are NC A&T and SCSU in the mix? Both will finish at 8-3(8-2 FCS) We need Maine to lose. Probably want a SELA win over Nichols. Realistically I think it comes down to UND, Furman, Kennesaw, and Albany given a Maine loss and SELA win.....UND might want to win impressively this week after blowing an opportunity to have a 30+ point win last weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 UND shouldnt be in this situation this is on Bubba, not getting a team up for Idaho state who has Bubbas number, no excuses for travel, that’s 0n him too, he doesn’t fly the plane but as hockey did last week change travel up to make it work not playing game 12 when you have 4 games for red shirts to play is inexcusable, schedule a so called cupcake at home, other teams do we beat some tough teams so Montana state needs to win this weekend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bincitysioux Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I know it's just message board fodder, but the general consensus over on Any Given Saturday appears to be that even with a win against SUU, we will need some help to sneak in.........

Idaho St loses: Northern Iowa - 13-6 Idaho - 41-25 S Utah - 59-34 N Colorado - 26-20 Eastern Wash - 48-5 BYU - 42-10 They play at Weber this weekend so will probably be another lopsided loss.

The Sicatoka Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Before this season most of the pundits here had their eyes on four tough games: NDSU, EWU, UCD, Weber. The thinking was UND had to win one of those four games because odds are there'll a loss in the other seven games in the schedule, and that combination makes 7-4. Those 7 FCS wins should get a playoff bid. Well, UND won one of the key four games (UCD). And UND dropped a stinkeroo to ISU; but, UND beat MSU and SHSU, and Poly on the road. Given Saturday's outcome, UND is doing exactly what the pundits wanted: 7-4. The problem is EWU and SHSU and UCD are not as strong as anticipated. Yes, Montana State is about as expected or maybe a bit better. And thus we sit at the mercy of other outcomes. So the solution is clear: Quit depending on strength of others. Quit planning for '7-4' is good enough. Control what's yours to control. Don't plan for good-enough-7-and-4. <-- That is "Loserthink" (c) Scott Adams Go out and win games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer63 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I have these 18 spots locked in MVFC (4) - NDSU, SDSU, UNI, Illinois St. Big Sky (4) - Montana, Sac St, Weber, Mont St Colonial (2) - JMU, Villinova Southern (1) - Wofford Ohio Valley (2) - SE Missouri, Austin Peay Southland (1) - Cen Arkansas Big South (1) - Monmouth Northeast (1) - Cen Conn St Patriot (1) - Holy Cross Pioneer (1) - San Diago That leave 6 spots to fill... Contenders (8) : Furman, SE Louisiana, Nichols St, Towson, Albany, Kennesaw St, S Illinois, and UND My guess they won't take both Towson and Albany... only 1 of them. And they won't take both SE Louisiana and Nichols St..... only the winner. So the other 6 will be in. But that's just my guess. Any major upsets could still change things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are correct, but I think S. Illinois is in and if Nichols beats SELA I could see them both getting in. If Towson and Albany both win and they decide to take a 10 win Kennesaw team it gets a little dicey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the injury issue to QB for the first 3 games factor into the decision. I think the team and coaching staff kept it together pretty well in light of those early injuries to the starting and backup QB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they probably don't scrutinize bubble teams to that extent. But I hadn't really thought about it much until now, and I gotta agree with you that props need to be given, especially having Tommy Schuster ready to go win that game against SHSU. That was huge.

Dustin Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I asked this several weeks ago, but I don't recall getting an answer - are hosting bids opened before or after the selection of teams who make the playoffs? In other words, do bids ever factor into which teams make the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First round brackets are made and the highest bid determines the home field for each game of the pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I suspected, but it seems FCS playoff selections are filled with controversy ("quality loss", etc.) it almost wouldn't surprise me if bids were opened once the 8 seeds are chosen.

I have been told they first select the teams and then open the bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
