Some really compelling games this year. Several that I'd have a hard time picking a winner with any confidence.

I picked Missouri State over UT-Martin. I think Mo State is the darkhorse candidate for a deep run this year.

It's a ringer this year. @ Montana State then then @ Sam.

I think we're going to see JMU/NDSU one last time in the semis. Has Montana ever won away from Missoula? ;)

I was pretty tied up between TN-Martin at SW MO State and UNI at Eastern Washington for the Game of the Week. I ultimately went with TN-Martin. UCD has been so down the last month or so, that their tilt at SDSU diminishes in comparison. The idea of Causeway 2.0 is intriguing, however....

I went with So Dakota & So Illinois. That should be an evenly matched game.

Naturally, I'm more curious about the outcome of No. Iowa at Eastern Washington. Yet I expect the Eagles will overwhelm the MVFC Panthers.

I realize you're 'poking the bear' but yes the Grizzlies have won outside of Missoula.

O you of short memory, Montana beat James Madison on their field in Virginia, I believe that was a semi-final. This year they'll do it again in a quarter final. :ugeek:

As for week one I see the following advancing:

Incarnate Word
Missouri State
Holy Cross
So Dakota St
SE Louisiana
E Washington
Kennesaw St
So Dakota

Good luck to all, yet Go Griz!

No. No need for JMU to even show up.

That's right. 1-10 away from home in the playoffs. My bad. :mrgreen:

I picked EWU in the poll.

I think it's going to be a home team sweep in the 1st round. Southern Ill might be the only exception.

Had to go UNI at EWU. This game stands out from the others as having a much higher level of competition.

Hey, let's not forget to mention beating Marshall at Marshall.
Otherwise, you might have a point. The Grizzlies do seem to play better at home. :kisswink:

Neutral site game. ;)

The days of the Marshall Invitational were brutal.
