Playoff Selection Criteria

[BigSky2014]

Wondering what the Selection criteria is and any requirements that must be met.

I've seen that 7 D1 wins is a must, but we have seen teams in with less, and others being talked about this year who wouldn't have met that requirement. So 7 D1 wins does NOT seem to be a requirement

These would seem to be criteria that might be considered. Which of these are considerations, and in what order?

Total Wins
Conference Wins
SOS
Head to Head between teams being evaluated
Common Opponents of teams being evaluated
Good Wins
Bad Losses
Conference Standings

What about "how many seats you can sell for a home game"? Is that really a factor in choosing a worthiness of a Playoff team?

Isn't that how the grizz made the playoffs in 2014?

No, they made it because they had 7 D-1 wins and there are 24 spots to fill.

Glad the obsession is still strong, though.

Yes, because an offhanded joke about your "rival" = obsession. Trust me, no one (except grizz fans) thinks of Montana that way anymore.

Good luck against Northern Colorado and the cats. I think you'll need it.

Well the OP had nothing to do with UM, but you still managed to bring them up within minutes.

Good luck winning a title with competent refs, you'll need it.

Grizz fans whining about officiating... So rich, I almost need a glass of milk!

Unseeded playoff teams "bid" for the right to host home games in the early rounds --- pretty much 100% cash-based. There are schools well-known for going "high" and others fabulously known for being playoff cheapskates.

You can find the actual rules from the NCAA if you look around for them.

*Ahem*

Must have had some bad reffing in Greeley today.

[Gil Dobie]

6 D1 wins is a must if the team is not an auto bid. Western Illinois made the playoffs last year with a 6-5 record. They were 6-4 vs FCS teams.

That has nothing to do with who gets in the playoffs, though. All bid/home-game stuff is decided after the bracket is paired up.
