I am totally confused about UNI getting the 5 seed when they are the #2 team in the nation. What is the logic behind the decision?

Re: Honest Question
The rankings mean nothing when it comes to the seeds, there have been times when UNI had a top 4 ranking and didn't get a seed at all. It is was the selection committee thinks. -
Re: Honest Question
Thanks. I know they really mean nothing but I don't understand how a team who is 9-1 in the FCS, losing to a highly ranked team ends up that low of a seed.Originally posted by achrist70 View PostComment

This year there are about 7 teams who could stake claim to a seed and it was a complete toss up.Comment

It is called not being in the eastern US or the CAA. Also if we would have won a National tittle or 2 we would have more respect.Comment

Re: Honest Question
This is the straight up answer to your question. We would have been the 4 seed had we been competing for the seed with a lower, or comparable fan number than us, because Montana had a potential for the 4 seed they got it plain and simple. Two home games in Missoula is more exposure, and more money for the NCAA than two games in Cedar Falls. Period, thats all it came down to.

FTM ... follow the money. Montana gets more butts in seats that UNI.Originally posted by panthertastic View Post
In 2009, Montana led FCS home attendance. In 2010, the averaged 24+k attendance for home games, in 2011 it was 22+k per home game.
The NCAA is about making money. The Grizzlies are good and had a great win on bracket weekend over Montana State, but it would seem that home attendance put the Grizzlies in the #4 seed."Well, that escalated quickly."Comment

Re: Honest Question
From what I've heard... we almost didn't get seeded at all."...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

Re: Honest Question
The way I look at it, the Committee didn't like the Valley at all. They traded two seeded teams for getting only two in and one that would get sent on the road in the second round."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Re: Honest Question
not sure how much difference that would have made. UNI's bid is usually high enough to get a home playoff game in the first (now the second) round. Though I suppose without the seed, UNI could have been stuck playing in the first round instead of getting the bye.Originally posted by Born-a-Panther View PostComment

Re: Honest Question
Lets all remember that Ill State, YSU and ISUb all lost.
2 very simple rules in cfb:
1) Don't lose late
2) Don't give the committee any reasons to not include you..."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."
