Show begins at 10

I can't wait to see how Sam gets hosed and what they do to Valley to stop the 6 peat.

NC A&T and Illinois St are jokes in this thing.

How many times in the last 30 years has an SLC team opened at Montana? Has Montana EVER played a road game in the SLC?

Another good question is how the #1 team in the polls become the #5 seed? Since when reputation trumps having a good season?

NDSU should be 1 or 2 but to seed Sam 5th is horrible they should be 2 or 3

Yeah....Sam Houston State got completely hosed. I understand the Southland being down this year...but after what they did to a 9-1 UCA squad last night was impressive. I think they should be AT LEAST a top-4 seed over Jacksonville St. Illinois St getting in is pretty baffling, I agree. I think they're about to discuss the last few teams to get in and the ones that didn't make the cut.

NC A&T shouldn't be in either. I'm sorry but if your conference decides not to send its champion and go to a "bowl" you lose that bid.

Eh, I'm OK with them getting in. They aren't one of the teams that got in on margin, IMO. Illinois St and Sanford are both more questionable. I'm confused about what happens with the NEC...Duquesne won the conference and ended with an 8-3 record, but 2nd-place St. Francis is in instead at 7-4.

St Francis won the auto bid on head to head. They tied for lead

Yeah, I just read that on the Duquesne website. ESPN had Duquesne on top of the NEC standings on account of their overall record....they should fix that.


On a completely personal sidenote, I FINALLY won my FCS fantasy league in the 5th season thanks to Jeremiah Briscoe going OFF last night.

The worst part of this tournament is ESPN

They won't show any of the games until the Semis on tv just on WatchESPN

I know it won't happen, but could you imagine this tournament at FBS level? Would be a ratings giant.

Such shite, if Sam isn't higher than a 5 seed then the SLC will never get a top 2 seed. At least they don't have UCA matched up with them in the second round.

I agree with you that all SWAC and MEAC teams should be eliminated like the Ivies. Either fully get in the playoffs or do your Celebration Bowl or whatever it's called foolishness.

Yeah that really pisses me off. You used to be able to catch several first round games on cable. It was glorious.

Talking to Cooper Kupp now...dude is a legit WR. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Drew Brees offense.
