Around the FCS 11/15

EWU/MSU/Mont really are the best representatives, and the most likely to make the final 8

I don't know. ISU has only had quality losses and I would take them over UM.

I have to agree with this. I was really hoping they could win today, and either MSU and/or Cal Poly make the field. I think UM is a one and done again this year unless they get someone weak at home.

I wonder how much credence the committee gives rinky dink polls like AGS. It will not surprise me AT ALL if we slip even though we did not play. NDSU, UNH, CCU, J state all won so they will be in the minds of the voters there. How much can the Eagles move up in the last game of the season at a perceived weak PSU team?

AGS is a better poll than either the Coaches or TSN when it comes to accurately predicting the playoffs. That being said, I'm guessing the committee uses it's own polls.

I don't think we slip. Most of the brackets I've seen have us the 5 seed so we need at least one of those four to slip up this week and the most likely candidate is CCU who plays Liberty for the Big South's auto bid.

:nod: ISU's offense would be dangerous in the playoffs but I'm afraid the extra DII game sinks them. If they had one extra FCS win on the record, they'd be a lock at 8-4. Too bad.

There are a LOT of 4-loss teams out there. I wouldn't feel comfortable at 8-4, some are getting left out.

The best case scenario for the Big Sky is four teams. Worst case scenario is two, depending on what happens with NAU and Montana.

I agree, but I think losses by ISU, CP and NAU, suck all their chances. Best case scenario, Big Sky gets 3 teams in.
