I'm shocked that both SLC teams are hosting. Thanks to the UNI loss.
Glad one isn't headed to Montana for the first round.

So a team in Utah has to travel to Virginia? Does the FCS committee usually do that...I don't know...first time witnessin' the FCS playoff madness.

Yeah, once a school is past the bus trip, they really don't care.

Well it beats the HELL out of having all three BSC teams in the same half of the bracket.

No but they got stuck with it. UNI losing messed things up.

Nice spread of the CAA, MVFC, and Big Sky around the bracket. Should be a fun playoffs that shows off how strong the respective conferences really are. Playoffs are so much more finite than message board talk.

It was a joke.
I like EWU's chances at getting a playoff win over UMass' chances.

And I like UMass's chance of having a NC Flag over EWUs when the playoffs end...

Seems very wierd to look at that bracket and not see names like JMU, UNI, Wofford, UMass, Delaware.....
...instead it's names like Elon, SC State, SDSU, William & Mary....
Is there a "new world order" in FCS?

Very strong bracket. Some interesting bracket placements, but there were a million different possibilities.
I'm glad the committee rewarded strong teams and not inflated records.
