Starting with this since this match up is all but guaranteed. I will make a thread with each match up with similar banners once the match ups are announced.

Will also edit with game time.

Lets get a nice readable bracket up too

SIU got screwed out of a top 2 seed. Ugh.

We'll live. It'll give the team something big to prove.

Not too surprised that they got the ohio valley champion...but the #3 seed? nothing against Montana, undefeated, they earned the top seed. Nothing against Nov, but I thought the #1 team in the country would get the 2...but it's fine.If they take care of business they will have their chance to prove otherwise. Looking forward to a great game

I think the #3 seed is a blessing in disguise for the Salukis. Now they're going into the playoffs feeling disrespected.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- Southern Illinois
      
      Running Backs - Southern Illinois
      
      Receivers/TEs - (push)
      
      Offensive Line - Southern Illinois
      
      
      Defensive Line - Eastern Illinois
      
      Linebackers --- Southern Illinois
      
      Secondary ---- Southern Illinois
      
      
      Kicking ------ Southern Illinois
      
      Punting ------ Southern Illinois
      
      Return Teams - Southern Illinois
      
      Kickoffs ------ Eastern Illinois
      
      
      
      
      
      
      • • Eastern Illinois 9-35 Southern Illinois

If they are still cranky about the seed, this one could be a blowout.

Eastern strikes first 7-0 Panthers

SIU 24 EIU 7 in the second.

SIU 31 EIU 7
early in the third quarter.

48-7 FINAL
