TSN offering bracketology this season

Post by FanofFCS »

The Sports Network's FCS coverage has a Bracket Projection for the playoffs. Interesting.

Liberty and Mont St in the 1st round....hmm....I thought the 1st round games were going to be teams in the same general region as eachother....

How does UD, unseeded, play on the road against similarly unseeded SCST? If you think UD loses a bidding war against anyone other than Montana or Appy St then you're smoking something.

And he has JMU hosting a first round playoff game.... they can't host a playoff game this year, right? :?


And, I can't wait to see 89Hen's reaction to the Delaware @ SC State prediction. :lol:

I think once they realize all this over time they'll fix it. I coulda sworn I read somewhere the first round games were going to be teams in the same region. VA and Montana? Not so much. IF IT IS by region I can see a LU, JMU, Richmond, or App St playing. Seeing that LU plays JMU already this year I would be disappointed to see them play eachother again in the 1st round of the post season. I'd rather see a LU vs App or Richmond (or any more local team) in the 1st round.

At least App State wouldn't open with SCSU for the third straight year. They travel well, and are great fans, but I'm sure neither of us would want to play the other and SCSU might be deserving of a home game if their season plays out as expected. I'm not sure that the "regional" bracketing will be as easy to do with additional teams, especially in the first round.

If App makes the playoffs, has a bye week, and plays their first game at Kidd Brewer I would be a happy camper. :nod:

If Liberty wins the Big South, I expect they could bid some big $$$ for a home game and draw a healthy crowd with their first playoff berth.

It is what you expected. Anyone who has UD on the road first round needs to have their media credentials revoked, if they had them to begin with.

ESPECIALLY if it's a local team within driving distance. The stadium would be PACKED! And of course that would give us another reason to hurry up phase 2 and 3 of the expansion project :D
