1. FCS schools do not care about travel costs, the NCAA pays for travel costs, because the NCAA gets ALL of the ticket revenue.While seeding 1-24 would be the fairest way to construct the playoff field, the FCS schools want to keep travel costs down for the road teams, so they like having the geographic component.
Then they should build a bigger stadium. Or perhaps if they played a tougher schedule they would have been ranked higher nationally and earned a seed.clawman said:Nice to get his vote of confidence but I disagree with a couple of his points.

2. I do not believe FCS schools LIKE the geographical seeding.
SUU really got screwed in this system. Every fan in the Big Sky should be upset. The outright winner of one of the 4 major conferences in the country should NOT have to travel in the first round!

Being a conference champion doesn't entitle a team to a home playoff game.

Yes, the Griz/NDSU could go either way but, I think PSU destroys UNI.
What's developed during the visiting Panthers' six-game winning streak is the rise of running back Tyvis Smith, who at 6-foot-3,224 pounds is even bigger than former All-American David Johnson

Have we ever had a 6' 3" running back?? Obviously a bruiser but how fast can someone that big be??

But . . .daGrizJ said:I could never root for UNI. And I would love another shot at PSU with Gus. But there is way to much business to take care of first.
This. :thumb:Personally if the Griz beat NDSU on Saturday, I want UNI to beat PSU. We will then host UNI in Missoula, and they haven't fared very well in the playoffs in Missoula.
