Got rolled, really? Lost by 5 due to early TOs and penalties and dominated the stats. Did not allow a 2nd half score by SDSU and had them on the ropes at the end. I have a different definition of "rolled."
They played Montana on the road and won. They "rolled" then ranked UCD also on the road. Stuck with an unbalanced schedule, we should not hold the conf. championship in high regard. Right or wrong, FCS is about playoffs, the bracketing of which is not any better than reg. season scheduling. #8 seed MSU got about the easiest draw of the seeds. The winners beat who's put in front of them without whining about who it is.
I’m not whining about our draw. Couldn’t care less. you gotta beat the best to be the best. I’m “whining” (i guess) about the image of the BSC when every. Stinking. Year. The “champ” who usually has skated through without playing most/all of the top teams, gets taken out in their first game (first round, 2nd round, whatever). IMHO it diminishes the impression of the BSC as a whole, and may actually affect seeding in general. Think about it: our AUTOBID got the #4 seed. IOW, the BSC champ was viewed as the 4th best conference winner overall by the committee….you think if they’d played MSU, EWU & Weber and STILL had that record they’d have a 4 seed?
I don’t. And I also think they’d still be playing.
