Montana "thing"

Post by clawman »

What is it with Montana getting what seems like favorable seeding? They only beat one team with a winning record, the Bobcats who did not even make the playoff field. They lost to NAU yet got an 8 seed and NAU doesn't.

Should we really be surprised by anything the NCAA does? What a joke.

I hope coach Delaney and the Griz wore burglar masks to their selection show party, because that was straight highway robbery.

The Griz had nothing to do with the selection. I think your last ten posts have been about the UM seed. You should have a beer, relax, watch some NFL and get over it.

Don't be thick, dude. What's the difference (money-wise) between us hosting a first round game or a second round one? Either way we'd be on the road the next week. :coffee:

The real question is how on Earth does the 8 seed merit a second round game against the winner of Bethune-Cookman and Coastal Carolina? Eastern gets a 3 seed and has the NAU / South Dakota State winner. This makes no sense. The 8 seeded team gets the MUCH easier round in the second round.

You could make a pretty good argument that Eastern drew the single hardest second round game possible. That 3 seed isn't worth much when it's only a number.

Ok, then what's the justification then genius? You finished 3rd in the conference behind NAU, and that same NAU demolished you. Polls be damned.

NAU got screwed, plain and simple.

Better SRS, which the committee said would play a large part in the selection process. Any other questions? :coffee:

You sound like NDSU fans having to face SDSU right away last year lol. This is the playoffs if you want to play for a championship you have to beat some good teams. Something tells me EWU won't win a playoff game if they are wishing they had a upcoming 8th seed matchup.

Montana gets the seed over a conference mate who pummeled them because of revenue. Not rocket science.

Care to explain what the difference in revenue is between us hosting a first or second round game?

Montana rightfully earned their spot. NAU should have played 12 games. If they were 10-2id be a different story. NAU also didn't face EWU.

I am guessing that Coastal was next in line for the #8 seed. That is why Montana gets the winner of Coastal and Bethune
