The two games I'm watching is SDSU at Montana, especially if they have their QB back and in good shape, and Youngstown State at MSU. That YSU QB is a passing and rushing machine.

Those matchups, if they happen will be tough draws.

Where will the Youngstown quarterback be playing next year?

He’s gonna get paid because he’s a talent

UND @ TTU is the game of the week IMO.

We’ll see how balanced on both sides of the ball TTU really is.

Well it’s definitely an interesting game

You have a pumped up highly ranked Tennessee Tech that hasn’t beaten anyone against like the 5th Pl Missouri Valley team

I’m more interested to see how the Ivies do outside of their bubble

Yale has some talent but the Youngstown quarterback has more talent…

Harvard venturing into the suburbs of Philadelphia is also uncharted waters….

Well…the Ivies should be a one bid conference. NAU,SAC, SUU, APU, and Monmouth all would have had better showings. Also makes me question Lehigh’s high seed.

[SeattleGriz]

Watched the second half of Yale vs Youngstown. Damn.

Over ranked

They played nobody

Their quarterback has always been mistake prone even when he was back at the Duquesne

SG,

I’m sorry you won’t get to see Youngstown State out in Montana

Ivy League Yale shocked FCS yesterday

Game of the ages

He sure did

I have him confused with a Duquesne QB

Funny how that works isn't it? A lot of people had YSU at Montana State as a tough out for MSU and then Yale changes all that. I expect MSU to handle Yale.

Oh no doubt on Montana State handling Yale

Montana St is on a completely different level than almost every FCS team minus The Bison… I actually think they might beat the Bison if those two make the finals this year

Yale can only hope to make a game of it

Fine thanks! Just endured a season of torment with App football. But hey, we won't get screwed by a selection committee, and our coach probably won't be hired away.

I feel that brother. We finished 5-7 as well. 4 straight losing seasons with two years remaining on Best’s contract. Ugh.
