Re: Full Bracket Predictions
Not so fast. My FINALS are completely busted, but I still have 6 of 8 in my quarters. Unfortunately, that's about where I end, as I only have two teams in my semis still around....

It's good that they're sensitive in dealing with difficult issues.

What's funny is one of my favorite subtle lyrics...
Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role, ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact

Re: Full Bracket Predictions
They re-ranked the final 8 teams. Knocked NDSU down a notch because they didn't have to pass very much to win.
North Dakota State falls, but it's not because of a disappointing performance in the second round. The Bison dominated in the second round, but the passing game had one interception to zero touchdowns. North Dakota State is great at what it does, playing defense and running the ball, but the lack of the added element drops the Bison.

Re: Full Bracket Predictions
I'm not about to bash NDSU because of the failure of the passing game in ONE game. Just look at the Patriots at Buffalo this past Sunday (weather-affected, of course): 2-3-19 passing, and 47 runs for well over 200 yards. If NDSU can control the game like that, they don't NEED to pass (though they can certainly run a few deep routes to occupy the secondary so as to keep them off run support). Heck, the Browns once dominated the defending-champion Eagles without throwing a single pass....

Re: Full Bracket Predictions
Well I didn't submit my full bracket here, yet I did fill one out. In full disclosure I missed two in the first round. I didn't see Tenn. Martin, or So. Illinois, advancing. I expected Kennesaw State to advance into the quarterfinals, kudos to E. TN State for screwing that up.
So, after the second round I still have 7 of the final 8. I see the National Champion coming from the bottom side of the bracket. This is the order I see as most likely.
1-2. Montana / James Madison or James Madison / Montana
1-2.
3. No. Dakota State
4. Sam Houston
5. So. Dakota State
6. Villanova
7. Montana State
8. E. Tennessee State
This weekend will be Montana's biggest challenge. If the Grizzlies nail down the win in Virginia they are taking it all the way. If JMU takes down Montana then they'll be champs. All the tea leaves say the Dukes should/will win. However, when the Grizzly defense is playing so intense, I just can't pick against them.
My remaining bracket was (with ETSU in lieu of Kennesaw):
QUARTER FINALS
Sam Houston over MT State
So. Dakota State over Villanova
Montana over James Madison
No. Dakota State over E. Tennessee St.
SEMI-FINALS
So. Dakota State over Sam Houston St.
Montana over No. Dakota State
CHAMPIONSHIP
Montana over So. Dakota State
As noted above, if I am wrong it will be to exchange JMU into where I've placed Montana.

Re: Full Bracket Predictions
1982: SDSU can do some confusing things on offense, but if they don't get their second-half production and defending straightened out, they're not going to get past Villanova....

Re: Full Bracket Predictions
It will be interesting to see if anyone beats NDSU in the Fargodome. The last 3 games, the Bison have been as good as the 2019 team. Against a top 50 defense, 5 players rushed for over 45 yards, including 2 QB's against SIU. Until the 4th qtr, when the Bison had their 3-4th team defense going against SIU starters, SIU had 34 yards rushing. Most of SIU's offensive stats came in that 4th qtr. NDSU's top Linebacker and a second defensive starter were out with the flu. Top WR was also benched with an injury. If the Bison beat ETSU, it will be a fun game against either JMU or the Griz.Grizzlies1982 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 11:28 am Well I didn't submit my full bracket here, yet I did fill one out.

Re: Full Bracket Predictions
Let’s be honest. EWU should have been seeded. KSU has no business being seeded. EVER. yet the committee seems to love them and their gaudy record every year. EWU being in a fucking PLAY=IN game while KSU sits home and prepares for a 2nd round game is bullshit. Then EWU’s prize for winning their exhibition game? Oh, they get to come to Montana. And EWU, UM, NDSU and JMU ALL being on the same side of the bracket? That’s just criminal.
I’m not saying I know a better way to do it, but surely taking regionalization out of the equation would be more fair, at least at the beginning.

Re: Full Bracket Predictions
So if it were 2/2 is would be OK. A travesty that it's barely lopsided I tell ya.
I'm not a fan of regionalization either, but it's more from what Gil is saying. It was much better when east coast teams like Coastal and Delaware were sent to Missoula to beat the Griz in the first round.
