Montana and ESPN

Re: Montana and ESPN

Not getting into the whole Montana bought their seed over UNI b/c UNI finished ranked higher than Montana, UNI's losses were by 1 point to Iowa State who beat #2 Okie State in FBS and are bowl bound, lost a close road game at NDSU who is top 5 in FCS and won the rest, Montana lost to Tennessee AND Sacramento State (4-7) 42-28 who did not make the playoffs BUT...I kind of like UNI's matchup better than Montana's. We have 2 weeks to prepare for Wofford who runs a lot and we have a great run defense. Our defense struggles against the dink and dunk passing down the field. Montana doesn't know who they will be playing so they will have 1 week to get ready for Tennessee Tech or Central Arkansas. Both a talented tough teams.

One thing that Montana has for them is that both Tenn Tech and Cent Ark are noobs going into the playoffs. It does kinda suck to have only 1 week to prepare for a team when other teams are having 2 weeks to prepare. Sac St also beat Oregon St this year but they're QB got injured and took the offense with him. You all can think what you want but Montana earned the 4 spot this year. Did you guys beat a #1 team this year on the road? I dont think so..

Re: Montana and ESPN

UNI fans will do well to stop thinking about Montana and start paying attention to Wofford. They played Clemson, a better team than UNI has faced in, well ever, tough on the road. They will not be intimidated by the Panthers one iota. I'm pretty sure they know they will win this game right now, today.

I will resume rant in the Wofford game thread.

Last time i checked the fans dont have any say in the outcome of the game..

Or seeding, but you sure do chirp a lot about that. Talk to you in two weeks if both teams win.

Peace, out.

IMO, both teams have on-the-field resumes that are about even, so they both "earned" the #4 seed. The committee just prefers Montana and their revenue potential in such a toss-up.

Poop happens.

possibly the worst argument for a higher seed I've seen by either side yet.

UNI is better in the scoring defense and turnover margin categories, so they clearly should be a higher seed, right?

oh and much better in redzone efficiency on both sides of the ball. That settles it.

Re: Montana and ESPN

Youngstown State beat the #1 ranked team on the road, why aren't they seeded?

These arguments can go round and round. Neither team was a clear reason for the 4 seed other than $ that could be brought in. So be it, UNI will just have to take care of business on the field.
