What do yall think of the playoff bracket?

[BlueHen86]

I would've LOVED for them to send UNH or Nova across the country to EWU for that second round game. If their players are only a fraction as arrogant as you are about the superiority of the CAA to the top teams in the BSC, they would be blown out after having to travel across 3 times zones.

I don't think you want any part of Nova. I would like your chances against UNH, but whoever gets Nova will have their hands full.

[UNHWildCats]

Montana went 7-4, Northern Iowa went 7-4

Montana lost its 4 games by a smaller margin than UNI. Montana lost its conference games by the same margin as UNI despite having 1 more conference loss.

To simply say you cant compare the two teams because one is a playoff team and the other isnt is complete garbage. Two seasons ago the New England Patriots posted the same record as theMiami Dolphins, but due to tie breakers the Patriots didnt make the playoffs... does that mean the Patriots werent as good as them... does that mean we cant compare the two teams as opponents for someone else?

Well to put it simply, thats not all I said. I also pointed out the UNI is a conference champion and Montana is not, also SFA went on the road. Some pretty valid points, not the only ones, but still valid ones.

Jacksonville and Dayton are co Champs of the Pioneer... does that make them better than Montana too>????

McNeese loved their chances against UNH last year too... how'd that work out for them?

Since 2004 UNH has played 11 playoff games... only twice were they not playing the 4th quarter with a chance to win. Last year vs Villanova and 2004 vs Montana.

[McNeese75]

The CAA arrogance is certainly starting to show in this thread. Good luck to SFA and I really hope you btf out of the wildcats

[expandspanos]

I'd take Cal Poly over Coastal Carolina personally.

I'd take Cal Poly over Coastal Carolina personally.

Given decent weather, I'd take just about any 6-5 or better team over Coastal.

[pantherrob82]

I personally think we all are happy SFA got screwed. Better? LOL

Should I start spelling out all the differences on this one for you? But really, whats the point here? I was just trying to say that this year I feel that a road victory over UNI is more impressive than a home win vs. Montana.

[Jacks16]

SFA got in thats all that matters. You have to win four games to win it. I know that UNI is pissed that you gave the game to SFA and they were not good winners and a bunch of other whiney crap. Get over it win your first game and then you can talk crap. Nova is a great team do you think anyone doubts that. Montana beat us bad in the second round last year but we did beat a pretty good EWU team. I hate to tell you SFA has been beat up all year as well its just nobody comes on here and cries about it. Look at the difference in our starters in each conference game. We also returned three OL from last year including a pretty good LT but lost one in the albany game. We also lost two kids for majority of the year in the secondary. We will be ready to play in two weeks. Weak conference or not doubt anyone in Nacogdoches is ready to turn there equipment in.

Careful what you wish for; Nova is a lot better than their record. Big on both lines, play-makers and experienced. They could easily make some noise on the road and be playing in the semi's.

[sfajack05]

When I first saw the brackets I was pissed and thought SFA got screwed but the more I thought about it I'm fine with the bracket. What better way to prove SFA belongs than having to beat the defending champ and setting up a possible game with the number one seed in the tournament. To be the best you have to beat the best. And lets be honest no one outside of SFA and their fans really thinks SFA belongs here. I would love it for SFA to prove people wrong and if they were able to run the table no one could say SFA had an easy route to the championship.

As far as getting a seed SFA is the only one to blame for not getting one because of the egg they laid against Texas State. If SFA went undefeated in conference I believe SFA would have gotten a seed but it probably would only be a 3 seed at the highest since the Southland conference was so down this year. I'm actually happy we lost to Texas State because since then the team has been more focused.

[clenz]

SFA got no more screwed that UNI did by not getting a first round bye - yet being the outright champion of the 2nd ranked GPI conference.


You deal with the cards that are dealt.

most recent GPI i see lists the Missouri Valley as 3rd behind the CAA and Big Sky. But point made. I think UNI should have had a bye over SEMO and B-C

Nice reading skills, moron. It was sarcasm. But please, continue whining.

[Jacks16]

Its funny that you think someone can see sarcasm with such a poorly written message. I would also like to see where I was whinning, actually I was saying they playing field is equal in the playoffs. Everyone is beat up, everyone thinks they are underrated, and most people want everyone to know how good they are. Everytime I am on the board which I enjoy daily UNI takes a shot at someone or adds two cents where nobody really cares. Sarcasm or not good luck to UNI and I hope they win every game but one just like everyone else on this board. If you feel the need to make fun of someone please keep going after SFA because sometimes the bad guy wins.

I will reiterate that you are a moron. I didn't "make fun of" or "go after" SFA. Jack fans are whining, people gave reasoning on why you weren't seeded and the whining continued, so I made a sarcastic comment that we all wanted you guys to get screwed. (Thus why the comment said "Better? LOL")

I thought your team and travel party were classless, but that was months ago, and since then I could GAF less about SFA.

[Jacks16]

Thanks I really feel like moron after some guy on a message board told me so. I was saying that I never was whinning. I am glad we made the playoffs. I was actually in agreement on the whinning. We shouldnt have laid an egg vs Tstate. As far as classless thats about what I expected after beating you guys at home.

You expected your players to sprint across the field to our student section and start taunting them?

[Jacks16]

Sure don't but should your student section be held accountable for what they said. Two wrongs dont make a right. Clenz you and I have argued this before. I too could gaf less. Like I said with no sarcasm good luck to UNI.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't whinning, doesn't look like Jacks16 or sfajack05 was either. Each one of us said we were ok with the bracket at some point. SFA Fan!!!seems like he/she might not understand the seeding process. Heck a lot of people don't, thats why so many people speculate how the field will turn out. It doesn't look to me like Jack fans are whinning.

Oh, I do. I watched them play each other two weeks ago, and I like EWU's chances against Nova. A little less so against UNH.

UNI didn't get screwed at all... they screwed themselves by losing their last game.
