What is the I-AA GOTW?

SUU & SHSU. Let's see if SHSU is still the BSC champ....

The other MVFC game, or as Seattlegriz and ESPN would say, MVC game.

Tenn. St. @ Butler........it will be interesting to see how the "new" conf. does in post=season.....

I voted for SDSU vs NAU. I think that game is going to have an impact on the playoffs.

I did as well...but that SHSU v. SUU game has my full attention.

It was tough to pick between NAU/SDSU or SUU/SHSU. I picked NAU/SDSU because we need to see which of these shitty teams moves on.

Samford at Jax State. The Southern Pigskin FCS GOTW!

Interesting that the highest number of votes is for the one I voted for. I picked it because I think if South Dakota State wins that the Jackrabbits could be trouble for Eastern Washington. Not that I don't think they'd be the underdog. But I think that, basically, Eastern Washington as the number 3 seed would be rewarded with the toughest second round opponent among the seeds. And a team that can run the football with physicality.

FWIW, here is the top 10 of that ranking composite Massey maintains with 46 systems reporting:

1. North Dakota State
2. Eastern Illinois
3. Southeastern Louisiana
4. Eastern Washington
5. Towson
6. Montana
7. South Dakota State
8. Maine
9 McNeese State
10. Coastal Carolina

South Dakota State is rated 6th in each of the two systems I look at most (Sagarin and Massey). By Sagarin, if the two were to meet, Eastern Washington would be a 3 1/2 point favorite (3.63). And that's almost entirely because of home field. The difference in the two teams' ratings is only 0.06.

Duh

I voted for the Bayou Classic so it wouldn't have 0 votes. Otherwise my vote is split between SUU/SHSU and NAU/SDSU

I wonder who the other voter is

Good God those are some craptastic games. I'll go with NAU I guess.

I think the best game is going to be NAU vs SDSU, NAU thinks they got jobbed and has something to prove. I think the Jackrabbits stick it to them and win 33-21. I also thought CCU BCU would be interesting, mainly because we play the winner, but it looks like they are fairly similar in the ratings.

It's also a rematch of last year, but unfortunately for BCC, CCU is probably a better team than the one that beat them last year.
