NDSU/Griz Part Deux ?? 12/5 ??

[Grizzlies1982]

Yes I'm calling this will happen:

NDSU wins, gets #2 seed
Griz wins , gets into playoffs.

in NCAA's FCS Regionalization mode they have UNI @ Montana in round 1, winner goes to NDSU.

what say you? and how much dam fun will that be! :shock: :shock:

NDSU may get the #2 seed based on their rep but they don't deserve it. They have 2 FCS losses. If JSU, Coastal, and Mcnesse win out they all should be seeded higher. Jacksonville st #1, Mcnesse St #2, Coastal #3, NDSU #4. Mcnesse would be undefeated, the other 2 would only have one loss, and Jacksonville would be FCS undefeated. That would trump NDSU's resume, sure they have good wins but sorry 2 losses means you should not get the top two seed.

Maxim, not too sure about Coastal getting a #3 but otherwise I fully agree. If they don't lose this week Jacksonville St and McNeese will be seeded # 1 or 2. North Dakota State is apt to be either a #3 or 4.

I wouldn't like it much. Beating any team twice in a season is extra tough. What am I saying???? Hell yeah, the Griz would love to do it again!

I wouldn't either! I hate to see fat people cry. I think it's because they look like babies. Perhaps it trips some biological nurturing trigger. Doesn't matter. It confuses me and I don't like it.

That is funny isht ursus!!

I'm not even certain Coastal gets a seed this year. If they do, Illinois State and SDSU would probably be higher, assuming everyone wins out.

I could possibly see.

Round 1:
Game 1. UNI @ Montana
Game 2. EWU @ SUU

Round 2:
Winner of 1 @ SDSU or PSU
Winner of 2 @ NDSU


Pending this weekends results... This Saturday will be a wild one...

It's possible. They try to avoid scheduling conference teams in the initial round, but I believe they make an exception if the teams didn't play one another during the season.

However, if SUU wins the conference, I doubt they would send them on the road to another BSC team.

First round hosts are determined by bids, and SUU has as much chance of outbidding us as Ron Ash does of getting an FBS job...

Oh, I fully understand that. I just don't think the committee would make SUU come here if they win the conference. Missoula will host, just not against SUU. I'd think UNI would be a more likely first round opponent in Missoula.

UNI fans would throw their hands up in the air if they had to travel to Missoula to face the Griz again! :lol:

Do you really want to play UNI ?....... Their defense has allowed 20 pts in the last 12 qts.......not too shabby!!

We/they should not be counting their chickens just yet (any more than Griz fans should totally count on crushing the kitties). While I do kinda think UNI will win over SIU, I am not taking that as a given. Recall all those very close losses for the Salukis ... they could turn it around for one game.

I doubt EWU gets in at all. Unless of course they beat PSU but I don't see that happening.

What you say is correct; however, UNI is playing for their playoff life at 6 wins and 4 losses (sound familiar?), whereas SIU is playing to see whether Dale Lennon gets fired immediately following the game or will the AD wait until he steps off the bus back in Carbondale Sunday morning. Either way, the faithful in Dogdom want his head.

In 2011, UNI was allowing 16.5 pts on defense all year and then we put 48 points on them. Plus UNI is 0-4 in WA-Griz.

Not that hard to do against those potent Valley offenses.

Some brackets have SDSU & PSU unseeded.
If that happens, assuming Montana plays...and beats UNI, the round 2 game comes to Missoula.
Against any unseeded team, the game will be in Missoula.

I believe the way the brackets are set up, if the Griz make the playoffs AND win the first game, the next game would be against a seeded team, which means a road game. The seeded teams get a first round bye (1-8), which leaves 8 unseeded teams after the first round.

 

[Bisonation]

I stopped reading after, "NDSU wins gets #2 seed".

WHY NDSU is #1 in the GPI index easily and only 2 losses in the last seconds. 1 to Montana (a playoff team if you win) and 1 crappy loss to USD who came back to have a 6-5 year in a game where our QB broke his wrist and played.

True (my bad).
The 2nd round game is assuredly a road game, all others depend on seed status.
Against any seeded team (assuming they make the minimum bid) - we travel, Against any unseeded team - we don't.

I know that these brackets are just somebody prognosticating but this one has us against Southern Utah in the first round and then headed to Portland State if we get past that. If things do shake out the way this bracket is projecting I sure hope it is wrong I would rather not be playing to big sky conference teams in a row

It's possible. They try to avoid scheduling conference teams in the initial round, but I believe they make an exception if the teams didn't play one another during the season.

However, if SUU wins the conference, I doubt they would send them on the road to another BSC team.

First round hosts are determined by bids, and SUU has as much chance of outbidding us as Ron Ash does of getting an FBS job...

Oh, I fully understand that. I just don't think the committee would make SUU come here if they win the conference. Missoula will host, just not against SUU. I'd think UNI would be a more likely first round opponent in Missoula.

Didn't Weebs have to come to Missoula after beating the Griz? Don't recall the final conference standings that year.

I think the Griz could very well travel to Fargo, depends on the other teams in the playoffs. If there is a closer team than they Griz, they'd prolly go.

I don't care about UNDSU.

absolutely zero chance that EWU gets in and PSU gets seeded...PSU needs to win to have a chance at a seed and EWU needs to win to have a chance at just getting in....both can't happen.....also zero chance of SUU hosting a game unless they get a seed....

Yes, but not in the first round, and UM was seeded.
