Good place to start. I'd add Sac State to the bottom list.

I think Kennesaw State might be considered for a top 8 seed.

Sagarin has MSU @ # 23, the griz #24.
Sam Houston will be fun to watch. Tim Cramsey's offense was crushing this year.

Sac State, despite a soft schedule, really feels they have it going down there. Have huge numbers coming back including 14 of 16 OL. They have a decent coaching staff. OC/OL coach Paul Wulff helps.

I don’t see how UM is even being talked about. Other than NAU, they beat nobody. If Cookus doesn’t get ejected, we all know that NAU wins by 2 touchdowns. Big Sky will get 4, if we are lucky. SUU, Weber, NAU...EWU would be #4


Punters are people too!!

EWU should be in way ahead of NAU. I don't know if NAU gets in at all, although their win over Illinois State was impressive.

Two years in a row Cats knock out the poor griz!

That does help with the sting of another rebuilding year!

I was wrong about that, no EWU!

I agree with the announcers, I'd rather see a McNeese state or Austin Peah than the 5th place team from the Missouri Valley.

Only three Big Sky teams in, which is a little disappointing. Thought EWU or Sac should of been in. Our conference just does not get any respect...

Weber, NAU, and SUU all in and will get at least one home game. First ever home playoff game for Weber. Congrats to all three.

Home away hasn't been determined yet. It's based on your money bid, not your rank.

I was too, at first. But EWU only beat 2 teams with winning records-UM & Sac State. NAU had that win over Illinois State. Kind of a coin flip between those two, I think.

Host teams are already decided. Weber hosting Western Illinois. SUU hosting the winner as the #8 seed. NAU hosting San Diego. The selection committee is a bunch of morons making Weber at SUU a potential quarterfinals game. And scheduling Kennesaw vs. Samford in round 1 since they played already this year.

It sucks, but it makes sense based on the interview. They have a 400 mile radius to fill into the bracket, but cannot play from same conference in opening round. Keeping that 400 miles radius in play in out west there is nowhere else to put Weber and SUU
