Weber Fever

[Blue42]

Congratulations to the FCS selection committee for adding Weber State to the field.

They proved to be a competitive addition.

160 total yards. -6 rushing yards. 9 first downs. 5 TOs. 0 points.

Could I suggest that the committee not be quite so quick to give the 3rd place team from the Big Sky the benefit of the doubt on Selection Sunday next year.

Agreed but scratching my head over SDSU giving up 34 points to Montana in the final qtr... Maybe the committee already discounts teams that show the propensity to flail with conservative O and prevent D strategies. Something that SDSU had not done very much during regular season.

yup, Weber was a dud.
Though it's not like UNI really did anything to convince the committee to give us the benefit of the doubt. Especially down the stretch.

UNI wasn't snubbed by not getting in, nor would Weber been snubbed if they had picked UNI. Neither team REALLY deserved it.

Depends on how you define "deserved". Clearly, we are a better team. And sometimes I think common sense should be involved.

We would have been in easy with one extra win, and we can only blame ourselves. BUT, we are better than Weber and everyone knows it.

I still think Weber had a better resume.

which just goes to show that sometimes people/teams with good resumes (well, in this case, 'okay' resume that is slightly better than the other 'okay' resume) can totally suck at the actual job in question.

Re: Weber Fever

Weber got shipped out to Bill&Mary, who beat NH and FBS Virginia. Anyone who didn't see Weber's blowout coming wasn't paying attention (or lives in Ogden, UT).

I'm not a big fan of using prior years' results to influence current year selections. Teams in conferences with (arguably) weak reputations deserve a fair shot too. That said, I think the egg that Weber just laid won't be forgotten next year.

Agreed.

Re: Weber Fever

well, the egg that we have never laid in the first round IS forgotten every year that we are on the bubble...

meh, it was just outweighed by the egg we laid during the last week of the season.

Quoted for truth. Of course, I said both UNI & WSU should have been overlooked for an 8-3 FAMU or 9+ team from another "weak" conference.

FAMU or another Patriot would've gotten smoked.
