***Game 12: WIU at UNI***

[vbfan19]

"There's no way they would do that," I was going to say, until I realized that this was a college post season committee and, as a whole, they're not exactly known for making the right decision. So I'll say "they shouldn't do that" instead.

I mean, seeds should be awarded on the merits of the individual teams in contention, not awarded to this or that conference. But there aren't really any clear-cut arguments for those last few seeds.

Welp. With that SDSU loss, there's a three way tie for second in the conference... Neat, I guess.

were those celebration penalties after the UNI TD or something else? I was on the opposite side of the Dome and didn't see.

Also, anyone that has a ticket to this game can get into the volleyball match against Valparaiso tonight in the McLeod (starting at 7 pm) for free by showing your football ticket.

Celebration. Small celebration, but still gonna get called.

Hell of a catch by James. Hell of a throw by Will.

NDSU is 8-0 in conference
UNI is 6-2 in conference
Illinois State, SDSU, and SIU are 5-3

so the three-way tie is for 3rd in conference. UNI is alone in 2nd

Which is why I think we get the seed and both ilsu and sdsu play next week we did something very un-uni like and didn't lose to a team we weren't supposed to.

Oh shoot, you're right, my mistake. Cool.

We finished alone in 2nd in the best conference in FCS and lost 3 games to FCS teams...all on the road to top 10 ranked teams.

I think we're the #8 or #7 seed.

Unsurprisingly, this is the lowest attended game of the season, but you can't really blame that on anything but last weeks results. Hoping that the attendance is better for the playoff game than the ~4000 that usually show up, but that's more just "hope" then "expectations."

I agree, but looking around at what I've seen, general consensus seems to be the first one or two out, whether that's fair or not. Big Sky is getting a lot more run this year, again, fair or otherwise.

If they don't get a seed, but did get a home game, then next week's attendance would be lower than what we had this week.
Heck, not even sure if I would go. Would depend on what time they scheduled the game for.

Not sure what attendance would be in two weeks if they do get a seed.

Oh for sure, I don't doubt that for a second, I meant the last couple trips to the playoffs, the attendance has been just about 4000. Hoping for a bit more than that for the this one, regardless of when it is.

Unless those are committee members you're looking around at...I wouldn't put much stock in it.

But if one were to look around...you'd see Craig Haley, senior editor at STATS FCS, has us as a 7 seed.

Hey nobody cares about your negative bull***

I mean, "Playoff attendance will be lower than the regular season attendance" isn't exactly a Negative Nancy take, it's perfectly rational. If it even sniffs 6k it'll be a mild miracle.

That's really insightful...thanks for adding value.
Playoff attendance if you don't qualify is zero.

We're in. Enjoy it.
