Never too Early to Start - Bracketology

[EWURanger]

This is my unofficial, subjective, and driven by few statistics predictions for the remaining top teams in the BSC.
I think the outcomes of games for potential playoff teams this weekend are:
EWU > UND
CAL POLY > MSU
NAU > WSU
ISU > PSU
SAC ST > UM :lol:

I don't think CAL Poly is very good, they won't beat MSU. I also can't imagine Montana losing at home to a team as bad as Sac State. The other predictions look correct to me.

CP should give MSU a good run for their money. I also believe the game is in SLO. You're probably right about CSUS, though. I don't think they'll beat Montana at home, but if they do...the wheels will have truly fallen off of Montana's season.

Where does your team stand with regard to the playoffs? This Lynchburg, VA writer's take with three weeks left in the season (and it might surprise you):

Wow, very well thought out and unbias playoff projection. To exclude MSU and include NAU and Montana is a little silly, though. When MSU blows Montana out of the water, that will change.

SECOND ROUND


SHSU-Chattanooga winner at #1 North Dakota State


UNI-EKU winner at #8 Richmond


SCSU-Liberty winner at #4 Jacksonville State


ISU-JMU winner at #5 Coastal Carolina


SELA-Cal Poly winner at #3 Eastern Washington


NAU-Montana winner at #6 Illinois State


Pioneer-Villanova winner at #7 Youngstown State


Bryant-Fordham winner at #2 New Hampshire


Obviously, this guy's opinion plus $.50 will get you a newspaper, but you really see the difference between being the 2 seed and the 3 seed. In the odd chance this works out, we'd get a credible opponent in the winner of SE Louie and Cal Poly. The 2 seed would get the Bryant-Fordham winner, meaning basically a cakewalk to the final 8.

Indeed. The number 2 seed is way too easy. Even the number one seed is more difficult.

I want to be on NDSU's side of the bracket. I'm sick of waiting for our team to get a chance to knock off the champs, but just barely missing the opportunity.

EWU can do it. We match up against NDSU better than any other team in the FCS. If EWU fails, we can at least make it a hell of a game. Play to beat the champs, then become the champs.

I agree. I've love to see how Adams and company do against the NDSU defense.

 

[MLEagle]

I disagree completely. If we meet I want it to be in Frisco. If we play before that it will most likely be in Fargo and I respect that team too much to be wanting to play a playoff game in their house.

First things first...beat Montana, then PSU. We are not a lock for the playoffs at this point with only 7 DI wins, and if we drop our final two games we're out.

Had to pull an all nighter last night. I think that is making me a ridiculously cocky fan. That disclaimer aside....

We are going to playoffs. I guarantee it.

You won't make it to the playoffs.

Cool story Hansel.

It's not an easy road ahead of us, but I think you're right.

Man, what a classy name! You fricken SHSU fans need to stay off our board! At least when the Griz fans get on here, they try to represent their fan base well! :thumbdown:

Sweet name.

How does everyone see this shaping up? Does anyone think we could still grab a top 3 seed?

Although I don't know how they determine the seeding, I know that Eastern is one of the three best teams.

 

[Seattle Eagle]

This bracket has us as the 5 seed.
