1st Rd Guarantees?

After seeing the TSN previews and see they are picking 2 seeds to lose in the first round...

What games are locks? Which games does everyone thinks are guarantees or could any of the 8 games go either way?

I like how TSN bases their prediction on the fact that we lost as an undefeated seed in 2007. Yep, the situations are exactly the same. :roll:

ya i thought that was lame. based on 2007 as well maybe that is why they have weber losing to w&m 31-21. in2007 we were a .500 team.

I don't see any of the seeds losing. Nor is any game a guarantee.

Agree on both counts, but I think Villanova is close.

If Villanova doesn't win by 35, I question their ability to win this whole thing.

To me, the lock games are the Griz over SDSU, EWU over SFA, and the Fassels over W&M.

I'd consider Nova and SIU locks.

I do have a feeling I'm going to be pulling my damn hair out in the first quarter waiting for SIU's offense to do something.

No game is a guarantee, especially in the playoffs. I definitely don't see Southern Illinois going down at home to an Eastern Illinois team who lost to 4-7 Tennessee State last week at home. Salukis by at least 3 touchdowns. Also, I would be shocked if Villanova struggles to beat Holy Cross, who lost at Bucknell last weekend. These look to be the two sure things tomorrow, along with App State hosting SCSU at home. Big day from Edwards and App will cruise.

Uh, okay.

To me, all CAA teams are locks, even when they play each other. :roll:

And the griz score ZERO in the first quarter, and THIRTY FOUR in the 4th quarter. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
