I've got 6 out of 8 again (missed Chatty/SHSU & Wofford/Citadel). I may nail these final 4 if all of the home teams win this weekend.Grizzly Oredigger said:

Interesting observation.
First NDSU plays a team that already beat them in Fargo this year.
Second NDSU will play one of the hottest teams in the country in their semifinal match
Finally NDSU would most likely play EWU in the chipper, a team that took them to OT in Fargo (without Kupp for the majority)
They may win it all, but it won't be easy...
I said this last year and it didnt pan out.....but I think this is the year that they fall off the top. They're going to have to beat a very good Jackrabbit team, then they would face a buzz-saw offense in SHSU or JMU.marceagfan5 said:

Take a bow Oredigger Griz. You nailed the four teams in the semis. And after watching that demolition of SHSU by James Madison----- should be a very interesting game in the Fargo Dome this coming weekend.
James Madison looked like the complete package----both offense and defense--- and could go on to win it all. Of course the Bison may have something to say about that!!

No way NDSU loses the rest of the way, and I see EWU's offense being slowed down by YSU. I want EWU to win it all but i'm being realistic.

Going with my head on this one. I hope i'm wrong as well, but NDSU has shown me nothing to say otherwise. We all may not be fans of them, but no denying their dominance over the last half decade.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Youngstown State University’s football team may be short-handed this weekend in the FCS National Semifinals.
Sources tell WKBN 27 First News that four or five football players, three of which are significant contributors, could be suspended and may not be making the trip to the game.
A source said the suspensions may be the result of drug testing after the Jacksonville State game.
Athletic Director Ron Strollo responded with the following statement:
If true, we have had a longstanding practice of not commenting on any conduct/team violation/suspension issues. Hope you understand. Thanks.
Coach Bo Pellini declined to comment. The YSU Athletic Department said Pellini would not address the suspension issue Monday night during his radio show, which is controlled by the department.
YSU beat the Wofford Terriers 30-23 on Saturday at the Ice Castle in double overtime, sending them to the final four. The team faces up against Eastern Washington on Saturday.
YSU running back and starter Martin Ruiz was involved in only one play in last Saturday’s game. He did not play the rest of the game due to a “coach’s decision.”
After the game, the only thing Pellini said about Ruiz was, “Yeah, he just, you know, that was our decision. Yeah, he’s okay.”
It is unknown whether Ruiz has been suspended.
YSU President Jim Tressel said he didn’t hear anything about player suspensions and pointed all questions to the sports information department.

18 out of 23 with the correct champion...this will never happen again. #humblebragGrizzly Oredigger said:
I can't wait until Montana is playing in the chipper again...it will happen, hopefully sooner rather than later.
