I'm not so sure about that. First, that arrangement is going to hinge VERY much on the outcome of Sac-BBQ. Second, BBQ gets the better part of that arrangement, IMO, given the top of each half of the bracket (I don't think there's any dislodging NDSU or JMU from the top two spots before the playoffs start).
Then again, we've powered through much such adversity so far this season, so perhaps we can do it again....
Based on THAT particular arrangement, though, I think I could foresee the following (being admittedly VERY homeristic, since that's how I've been since the pre-season):
Play-In Round
Nichols > Pat Summitt U.
Wofford > SHSU
Delaware > Lehigh
Griz > U of San Diego
IL State > Austin Peay
UNI > Kitties
SEMO > Furman
Towson State > C CT
Sweet 16:
#1 NDSU > Nicholls
Wofford > #8 UCA
Delaware > #5 Villanova
#5 Sac State > Griz
IL State > #3 SD State
#6 BBQ > UNI
SEMO > #7 Kennesaw State
#2 JMU > Towson State
Elite Eight:
#1 NDSU > Wofford
#5 Sac State > Delaware
#6 BBQ > IL State
#2 JMU > SEMO
Final Four:
#5 Sac State > #1 NDSU
#6 BBQ > #2 JMU
National Championship:
#5 Sac State > #6 BBQ
Is that a CAA thing, or is that a standard thing? It makes a TON of sense when you don't seed the entire field. Heck, it makes a ton of sense even if you DO seed the entire field....89Hen wrote:I doubt very much they'd put the four CAA teams in a position to meet in two second round games. They usually split them up a little more than that. It's those little details newbies often don't know.
The biggies... CAA, MVFC, BSC... they often will have first round match-ups, but not two games encompassing all four teams. They will stick one of the 4-5-6 teams in a different bracket.SuperHornet wrote:Is that a CAA thing, or is that a standard thing? It makes a TON of sense when you don't seed the entire field.

Assuming that will take 8-4 to get in, no chance in hell that UD and Towson both get in, JMU gets the # 2 seed, and VU gets the #5.SuperHornet wrote:One of the newbs at Sacbuzz found this in the Bison Media Zone. It's more than a little premature, but here it is. Discuss....

For JMU to get the #2 and VU to get the #5, they would both likely have to win out.
That would mean JMU gives TU a 4th loss this Sat, and VU gives UD a 4th loss Week 13.
But UD is @ TU 11/2 so the loser would have at least 5 losses and likely wouldn’t get in.
TU is also @ SBU 11/9, and hosts Elon 11/23. UD also hosts SBU 11/16.
Looking at the CAA teams with 4 or less losses, I can’t come up with any plausible scenario where more than 3 end up with 4 or less losses. Whoever put this together didn’t analyze the schedules..

Question: Either Sac or Weber win out with no FCS losses, top 10 SoS, and two close games against FBS. Either would also have wins against 3-4 playoff teams and maybe another ranked opponent who doesn’t get in. Wouldn’t they have a shot at leap frogging at least one if not two of the top 3?

If Montana wins out they definitely get seeded IMHOP.AZGrizFan wrote:Lol. One loss and Montana goes from a 4 seed to a playin game.
The Football Championship Subdivision title game is heading to network television.
According to the NCAA website, the 2020 title game will be televised by ABC on Jan. 11 at 11 a.m. Central time. The game has aired on ESPN2 since 2010, when the date of the game was moved to early January.
They can't win out... They have to play the Cats in the last regular season game...BDKJMU wrote:If Montana wins out they definitely get seeded IMHOP.AZGrizFan wrote:Lol. One loss and Montana goes from a 4 seed to a playin game.
