General thoughts about the bracket.

The committeee blew it.
5 MVC teams on one side of a bracket is disgusting
2SLC teams possible rematch Rd 2, stupid
SDSU having to travel to Montana? I get no stadium but really?
UNH getting a home game is total BS and it is a rematch of a reg season game, if UNH wins that one it is a rematch of a conference game.
Western being included is a farce.


If I was an AD for a top 8 team I would throw a hissy fit about some of the seedings, lack of national tournament, AND representation of deserving teams. The seeding was lazy and sloppy at best.

Fournette would've ripped y'all a new a-hole. There wouldn't have been much of a fight, sorry.

MSU's path through the playoffs is eerily similar to the one SLU had two years ago. Playing SHSU in the second round, after beating them less than a month before, assuming SHSU beats Southern Utah in the first round.

Just like LSU hasn't put up much of a fight the last 3 weeks huh?

It doesn't matter. LSU called the game. While we are still playing meaningful football, LSU is stuck with the talk of whether they should keep Miles or not.

Pretty irrelevant. We played 3 SECw teams.

This is really adorable though congrats on your playoff berth, sounds like you really need it to brag about to all your LSU friends and family

One more comment on the bracket and then I will be quiet about it.

The OVC has multiple times lobbied for more teams this year and the Tenn Tech AD was the head. While they did not get the teams, they made sure that the MVC was not going to get multiple teams into the final.

They also made sure the SLC was going to knock itself out. The OVC and CAA are not up to par with those two leagues in terms of players. I think the agenda was set early and proven. I hope that the MVC and SLC when they are the heads are not as vindictive. I feel this is bad for the division.

You're such a badass. Everyone here is impressed. Your posts are so intimidating. Glad you got them out of the way.

Don't see how it's irrelevant since you want to talk about fight. LSU had no fight. They looked like a high school team. Terrible.

Don't need anything to brag about. But anyone that thinks LSU couldn't have lost that game has not paid attention to College football this year or McNeese the past several years.

And LSU is clearly not the team everyone thought they were. And I'm saying that as a life long LSU fan.

It doesn't matter though. This is November, not September. Funny how LSU fans have to try and rain on everyone's parade.

If LSU was undefeated right now, they wouldn't even care about McNeese. Fact.

Damn. So 2 out of the 3 SC teams will be gone after the 2nd round?

Do they deliberately regionalize all the brackets or is that just how things fell into place this time?

It was deliberate attempt and knock out the 2 power conferences early. SoCon just got caught up in the wash.

All the SLC and MVC teams are on same side also.

Rooting for Mcneese this year fwiw. Got a friend that plays TE for them, and since my old school sucked this year might as well see another LA team win it

McNeese is LSU's little bro like like ull. U didn't hear me saying we could beat LSU in 2013 when we were the number 4 seed.

Guys are dreaming if they think they would beat LSU to start the season. Yes I know you almost beat Nebraska last year. Congrats for feel good loss.

Have FBS teams not lost to FCS teams? It happens, get over it.

Nobody said McNeese would have beat LSU with a certainty. But it can happen.

Go cry to your momma and quit worrying about McNeese.

Haha, well, considering how weird and inconsequential this argument has been, I thought it was appropriate.
