The special teams were sub-par (not terrible), but… yes, you're right.

Bob Stitt getting hired as Texas State's OC might've doomed the Bengals because I'm guessing Gresch Jensen would've gone to ISU otherwise.

Looked at you'all's schedule-
-A P5,
-no Div II (N Bama is playing a full Div I scheduled, so I assume they are fully transitioned, or at least count as Div I).
-@ a decent MVFC
-playing top 4 projected Big Sky.

A 9-3/7-1 MT would be a lock for a seed (but not 9-3/6-2-think Big Sky will be get 2 seeds).
How many seeds?
Well fuck me. Before 2018, no conference had ever gotten more than 2.
I was assuming: 2 MVFC, 2 CAA, 2 Big Sky, JSU, and 1 So-Con or Southland. I was wrong on a 2nd CAA and JSU, with 3rd and 4th Big Sky instead.

So-Con would have had one if they hadn’t gone full retard trying to switch from a running option team to a passing one. Loss to Sc State Wofford attempted 20 passes 1st half, ended game 9 for 23, 4 INT. Lost next week to Samford as well. Avg 13.5 points those 2 losses. Back to their option won last 8 I-AA games/avg 41 points. An 10-1/8-0 Wofford, even if hadn’t beaten anybody in their 11 games, with only losing to Clemson, would have been a 3 or 4 seed.

CAA would have had 2 if the VU hadn’t gone full retard in clock management, giving up TD & last second FG to SBU in last 1.5 min in 36-35 loss. A 10-2/6-2 VU would have probably been a #5 seed.

Course even with Wofford & VU seeded, Big Sky would still have 4.

Montana with the best return team surprises me. Flowers had one TD but otherwise he looks like garbage out there. Regularly runs into his own blockers for a mediocre gain.

The Griz KR stats weren't super great, but they were still 2nd. best in the league. UM was first in punt-return average by a decent margin and had the only PR TD in the conference.
