Playoffs

[B.True]

can't wait to see who UNI draws and how the bracket shapes up. with scheduling conflicts and location, i've only been able to clear one weekend for a playoff roadtrip. chattanooga is just 400 miles away from Indianapolis so if/when we get to that point....all other panther fans make sure the caravan goes though Indy...

GO PANTHERS!!!

1 Hour and counting.

One hour and counting, and it looks like Mediacom won't have ESPN News on its usual channel at the time needed...looks like I'll be hanging out here and hearing the good news from you guys

I'm planning on being in the chat room, if anyone is interested.

WinderSo B.True, what you're saying is: There's a soup and beer stop in Indy?

for sure...not sure if taking 74 from the QC all the way to Indy then down 65 to chattanooga is the quickest way, but i'd roll out the red carpet for the break halfway through the trip if anyone is coming this way!

My thoughts...

Teams that got the shaft... E. Washington - The Big Sky champs should have a home game for the first round. Furman - should have been a seeded team over Texas State. N.H. - For being the #1 team they are in the toughest bracket.

Teams that got a gift... Texas State - they didn't win their conference... but yet they are a seeded team. This I don't get. E. Illinois - They should be playing on the road. The OVC sucks and EIU shouldn't be at home. Montana - they finished third in their conference, but yet they are placed in the weakest bracket with a 1st round home game. Every year! Why doesn't the selection committe just come out and say Montana will always play at home and we are moving the national championship game to Montana.

I think you are way over-reacting. I am confident that, if Montana went 5-6, that they would be on the road the first week of the playoffs.

I am confident that, if montana went 5-6 they would not be in the playoffs. NCAA wants one thing and one thing only, MONEY. They will not put Montana on the road because they know Montana will have a crowd of 20,000 plus

Anybody Notice

Anybody notice that in the Playoffs that only four conferences are represented by two teams each. Maybe that shows what conferences had the best Division 1-aa football this season.

GO PANTHERS!!!

EWU did not deserve a home game. For God's sake, they got a gift even making the field. They would be turning in equipment as we speak had Montana State not beaten Montana yesterday. The biggest screw jobs went to YSU ( BY FAR), SIU for having to play a weaker in-state opponent on the road, and GSU who has to go on the road for a first rounder vs. a seeded opponent. The biggest gifts went to Lafayette (who does not belong in the playoffs) and Montana who just might host until Chattanooga without being seeded.
