A few things that stuck out at me:
-The griz are 10-0 at home in the quarterfinals and 4-0 against UNI all time
-31-30 prediction in the Cats game. Another nail biter!
-The CAA aka "the SEC of the FCS" and the SoCon had a BAD showing in the playoffs this year

"The other conferences combined have a record of 6-11 with the two supposedly top FCS conferences of the SoCon and CAA going 1-2 and 3-4 respectively thus far with their two lone remaining participants meeting this week."
Isn't this a little deceiving as besides Wofford and New Hampshire the Socon and the Caa have fought most of their playoff games with each other. If two teams get together somebodies got to lose.
If there's anything I've learned from the playoffs so far with the upset of App St and ODU giving us all we could handle is that even in a down year don't expect the CAA to lay down for you. I seem to underestimate that conference every year and the next thing you know they've got at least one team playing in the national championship.
And personally I think the Socon could have had more teams included this year but a last we kinda thrash each other in the regular season and bring the records down of some of our mid level teams. (Citadel is the best damn four win team you'll ever see
)
