I was surprised SUU got in, but I guess the win over MSU was what tipped the scales in their favor.

Ah but the Southland got a higher percentage! Three of eight (37.5%) vs. Four of 13 (30.7%).

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but how does Montana get a seed over NAU? Had to figure NAU (7-1 Big Sky) would be seeded over Montana (6-2 Big Sky), since NAU had the better conference record and handled Montana head to head 34-16.

I was surprised myself after our loss to NAU yesterday... when I first saw the news... my wonderful and now not-as-innocent children heard their father yell out "HOLY SH*T WE'RE IN!"

It's a joke.

While they obviously didn't follow it entirely the NCAA SRS may have been a factor in that particular decision. Montana is at #8 in the NCAA SRS ratings and Northern Arizona is at #11.

Of course it's also got North Dakota State at #2 and the committee seeded the Bison #1. And it left Youngstown State out of the field even though the Penguins are #24 but put Samford in even though they're one spot lower at #25.

My thoughts exactly

Montana is an FCS darling. That's why.

Stoked we got in! Beating Montana State, and FBS school and a tough game against NAU is probably what got us in. However we have a very tough task of taking on SHSU, going to have to ride our defense like we have all season.

[MrTitleist]

Montana's SRS was higher than NAU.. seemed like that was a big part of the selection process.

They've been free falling. Surprisingly they played their starting QB yesterday. I thought sure he was done for the year. But him running the option is a big part of their offense and I don't think he can take getting hit now. I'd heard he has a broken clavicle but surely not if they were playing him yesterday.

Also Flanders is hobbled. Not the same guy.

Feel free to bandwagon us since your Hens will be watching from home, again.

We're also a better team.

Maybe have some class for a change?

You started it, bub. Montana earned their seed and will prove it on the field.

The SoCon went something like 2-7 head to head with the Big South this year. And CO-SoCon champ Furman, with a 7-5 record, went 1-2 head to head with the Big South- losing to 1st place Coastal, 4th place Garnder Webb, and needing a late 1 point win to beat 5th place Presbyterian.

7-5 Furman would've finished no better than 4th in the Big South, and yet, they get in over co-Big South Champ Liberty, who had an 8-4 record with losses to Kent State, Coastal and Richmond.

WHy? Furman and the SoCon are name brand. That's it.
