11/11 Playoff Predictions

[FCS Update]

Getting difficult.

[DJH]

I love that bracket.

[danefan]

Pretty good.

The only problem I see right off the bat is SCSU @ Richmond.

SCSU would more than likely outbid Richmond. SCSU is averaging 20,000 this year.

Is Holy Cross a bus-trip to 'Nova? I have to think HC would go there if that was the case, unless Elon is also a bus-trip...

If that's the case, GO HOLY CROSS. ANYTHING TO NOT PLAY UNI.

Yeah it would be HC to Nova.

HC is about 100 miles closer

Anything under 400 miles is a bus trip, as per NCAA guidelines. Not sure exactly how that is calculated, but I'm going to post the milages that mapquest spits on by default (which is "shortest time").

Holy Cross (Worcester, MA) to Villanova (Radnor Township, PA): 280 miles (bus trip)
Elon (Elon, NC) to Holy Cross (Worcester, MA): 707 miles (not a bus trip)

And just to complete the triangle:
Elon to Villanova: 442 miles (not a bus trip)

i've got elon to nova to be 350 miles, which would be a bus trip as well.

[JayJ79]

hmm, even if I recalculate using "shortest distance", I still get 411 miles.

Mapquest

You're right. For some reason when I type it into google maps it gives me a 354 mile trip initially but then adjusts itself to 434. Odd.

Anyway = Elon to Nova is not a bus trip.

Might be 354 miles in straightline distance between the two.
And evidently the "walking" option in google maps logs the route as being 397 miles. but I don't think the football team will be walking the trip.

But that does make me wonder as to just how the NCAA figures milage.

UPDATE: Turns out that the NCAA has their own Mileage Calculation page. And their official mileage between Elon and Nova is 432 miles.

What an odd thing to have.

[slycat]

SCSU will host unless they blow their last few games.

[JayJ79]

Not really. It's a table used to figure out the reimbursement amount for travel.

And consider this thread...... HIJACKED.

[danefan]

That actually brings up a good point on these brackets, because if App gets a seed, SCSU is going to App. They are only 225 miles from App and when the seeds are determined the closest to the seeds goes to the seed.

That would be a huge game. SCSU is looking stronger then ever. It would be the best first round match up.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

EWU @ McNeese.

[McNeese75]

EWU @ McNeese.

You got that right

[slycat]

EWU @ McNeese.

Another good game.

[FCS Update]

My bracket was great until I adjusted it for Eastern Washington.

[sas123abc]

Why should Eastern Washington get in ahead of Weber State? Weber went to Eastern Washington and beat them badly.

[AZGrizFan]

So, Richmond, UNH and UNI get the cupcakes this year, huh?

Weber also lost at home to Montana State.

as much as I want a home play-off game at SCSU I would have no problem going up to boone again...Our gus are playing really motivated after giving app st. a good game last year..we have a garbage conference I do agree! but we are clicking on all cylinders right now and the goal this season has been since week 1 playoffs..I think we would give App a heck of a game or anybody else for that matter and hopefully we can gain some credibility not as a MEAC team but a legit FCS playoff team year in and out...

Weber also went to Montana and shit a brick, and earlier in the year pissed the bed at home against MSU. EWU held their turf against the Bobcats, and gave the Griz a battle in Missoula.

Looks like UNI has a cupcake in the first and second round.
