The Official 'Just the Fact' Playoff Outlook

[GonzoCat]

I don't think we have any chance of getting in, but if any 7-4 team gets in it should be the second place team in the toughest conference in the country.

officially out.

That's pretty ridiculous that UNI is kept out of the post-season, but they select an Eastern Illinois team that plays in the weak Ohio Valley? And then they get to have a first round home game. You'd think playing in the best conference in 1-AA and placing 2nd that you'd probably get in. Some of the teams get in every year no matter how good they finish. Get some voters in there that actually have a little bit of an idea about football. One of the better teams this year will be sitting at home for the playoffs.

my predictions

since UNI isn't in it, I figured I'd play November Madness and fill out a bracket.

1st round
App St. over Coastal Carolina (easily)
Montana State over Furman (2 weak teams, MSU wins due to homefield)
Illinois State over Eastern Illinois
Youngstown State over James Madison
Mass. over Lafayette
Hampton over UNH
SIU over Tenn-Martin
Montana over McNeese

Quarterfinals
App St. over Montana State
YSU over Illinois St.
Mass. over Hampton
Montana over SIU

Semifinals
YSU over App St.
Montana over Mass.

I see UMASS coming out of the bottom bracket......no idea about the top side....

I saw the UMASS vs Navy and UMASS vs UNH games on CSTV......and the UMASS Defense is the best i've seen in I-AA....or shall I say 63 scholly football....

wooo! I was 7-1 with my predictions (I had picked Hampton over UNH).
Mr. Dougherty from sportsnetwork also went 7-1 (he picked JMU over YSU).

Not that I'm claiming to have anywhere near the football knowledge as Matt (aside from the fact that I know the Gateway rules.... hehe).
And not that anyone cares about my predictions. but anyway.
