Playoff projections

[bobsboy84]

We have been included and excluded in previous projected playoff brackets. Now we are in; what are your thoughts about who we play and where we go? Will we play the first weekend and will it be in the Dome?

IMO, we are one of the first 12 and do not play the first round.

Go PANTHERS, baby!!!!!

Re: Playoff projections

if we do play the first weekend, I'm fairly confident that it would be in the Dome (unless Montana beats MSU to qualify, and the committee decides to be an arse and send us out there. ick)

However, I would guess that UNI should merit a first round bye. Don't know how we shape up bid-wise compared to second-round teams, though.

Re: Playoff projections

As the MVFC Champions, I predict a first round bye and a #3, maybe #4 over-all seed in the play-offs.

- I think winning the MVFC stills carries a little clout.

- Being UNI with a 15th conferences championship, a steady win streak in hand, as long as the Panthers win out also helps the cause.

Agreed.

a 3-loss team will not be getting a top 4 seed this year, unless there is a TON of upsets in this final week.

We need to win at Western, then we will be at home in week two against UNH.

Re: Playoff projections

UNI will NOT get a seed, period...end of story.


It's going to take the wildest wet dream scenario we could come up with to play out, and then need help from about 30 of teams.


It just won't happen.

A win and we get a bye and host. A loss we host in the opening round.

Re: Playoff projections

Are any of the games scheduled to be televised by ESPN's family of networks?

Thanks, Jay. Trying to figure out my work schedule. Selection would be next Sunday?

Re: Playoff projections

from this page: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=4376693
(I've converted all times to Central Standard Time)

EDIT: turns out that is an old page, and some of it may have changed. the FCS selection show has definitely been moved (and has been updated below)

Sun., Nov. 21 FCS Football NCAA selection show 9 a.m. ESPNU
Sat., Nov. 27 FCS football NCAA "semifinal" 2:30 p.m. ESPNU
(they list semifinal on the page, but that makes no sense at all, as that would be a first round game)

Fri., Dec. 10 FCS football NCAA quarterfinals 7 p.m. ESPN2
Sat., Dec. 11 FCS football NCAA quarterfinals 11 a.m. ESPN
Fri., Dec. 17 FCS football NCAA semifinal 7 p.m. ESPN2
Sat., Dec. 18 FCS football NCAA semifinal 11 a.m. ESPNU

They don't have the championship game listed, but you know that it will be on national TV.


And this isn't football related, but at least one of these (hopefully more) will be relevent to UNI:
Sun., Nov. 28 Women's volleyball NCAA selection show 2 p.m. ESPNEWS
Sat., Dec. 11 Women's volleyball NCAA regional final 3 p.m. ESPNU
Sat., Dec. 11 Women's volleyball NCAA regional final 5:30 p.m. ESPNU
Sat., Dec. 11 Women's volleyball NCAA regional final 8 p.m. ESPNU
Sat., Dec. 11 Women's volleyball NCAA regional final 10:30 p.m. ESPNU
Thurs., Dec. 16 Women's volleyball NCAA semifinal 6 p.m. ESPN2
Thurs., Dec. 16 Women's volleyball NCAA semifinal 8:30 p.m. ESPN2
Sat., Dec. 18 Women's volleyball NCAA final 7:30 p.m. ESPN2
