With the MEAC no longer participating playoffs, that dropped the # of AQ back to 10, which means could drop the # of At Large back to 10 and go back to a 20 team playoff. A 20 team playoff this year would have meant this years last 4 at large didn't get in. Well, this is how they fared:
-Fordham was embarrassed by UTC 50-20.
-EIU was embarrassed by UNI 53-17.
-UNH was upset by Colgate 27-20.
-WIU against non acholly Dayton only led 10-7 at the half...

A lot higher chance of dying early on the right hand side of the bracket. I can't believe the NCAA put together something THAT unbalanced in terms of difficulty of getting to the championship game.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

The beauty of regionalization.

Looking at attendance numbers it's pretty tough to argue with why they did it too.

20 team field 2010-2012. Top 5 were seeded. Top 12 got opening round byes. 13-20 played in the 4 opening round games, with the 4 winners paired with the top 4 seeds. #5-12 were paired regionally, so those 8 teams all had byes but knew their opponents for 2 weeks. If they had done that this year, the field would have been the current 24- EIU, Fordham, UNH, & WIU). Stipulation that no conference rematches 1st round or pre determined (between 5-12) 2nd round.
1st round
Colgate/Duquesne
UNI/Dayton
SDSU/Montana
SHSU/W&M

2nd round
(Colgate/Duquesne) winner @ #1 JSU
(UNI/Dayton) @ #2 ILSU
(SDSU/Montana) winner @ #3 NDSU
(SHSU/W&M) winner @ #4 McNeese
SUU @ #5 JMU
PSU/CCU
UR/UTC
CSU/Citadel

Qtrfinals
CSU/Citadel winner vs (Colgate/Duquesne) @ #1 JSU winner
SUU @ #5 JMU winner vs (SHSU/W&M) @ #4 McNeese winner
PSU/CCU winner vs (UNI/Dayton) @ #2 ILSU winner
UR/UTC winner vs (SDSU/Montana) @ #3 NDSU winner

Yeah brain cramp. When typed EIU should have put UNI- true UNI would definitely be in a 20 team field..

I thought the last 4 in as stated on the selection show were EIU, WIU, UNH, and FU. But maybe it was SHSU instead of FU as you stated.
