That's a mistake as the "majority" is usually wrong.

I analyzed the records of all play-off teams over the last 20 years (as did someone else who posted his analysis on the other board - same result), guess what? With few exceptions, the home team wins - 80% of the time. Is it not noteworthy that the BSC runner-up has dispatched the top seed twice since 2003 (on the road) or that BSC runner-up handily beat the SoCon runner-up last year?
I suppose next you'll tell us that the SoCon is App State and a bunch of other guys!
Get real.

And...as pointed out, they also beat the 2nd best team from the "mighty SoCon".

I'm beginning to suspect that critical thinking is a lost art.

It came back around on ya later that year when EWU smacked down #2 McNeese State and took Appy to the wire in Boone. And of course we don't need to mention EWU's season last year...


Ok, yes we do. :D

Now we get to see if MSU can finally grow a pair in the playoffs and do the same. 8-)

Such grand intentions for Glanville and Davis. It probably would be funny looking back on all that, but it hurts too much to laugh...
