Seems like Marty got off pretty light. Anybody surprised? Not me. Oh well, he still has to live with himself and that is a pretty bad punishment....

Didn't know anything about JMU, but learned that it was founded in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, Virginia. Interesting....

Winner: Best post today!...

Apparently Farley needs that flesh-colored mouth-veil that Mike Leach talks about!

UNI by 14. Congrats 95!

That last TD gave you the tiebreaker....

Wasn't able to watch the game, but have seen a few highlights. Granted the WV player came flying in for the rebound. However, the ref had a very different angle than the TV camera. With the way that Haldeman fell (to the side, not forward like you...

Long road for UNI to play NDSU again.

So, it all comes down to the margin of victory picked by 95 and OnMcLeod.

95 wins if UNI wins by 9 or more.
OnMcLeod wins if UNI wins by 8 or less (or loses).

Wow. I knew you had connections with the Athletic Department, but didn't know all that. You have some serious purple blood!...

I got a headache just looking at those rules. Anybody gone through the playoff selection to see if they actually followed their own rules?...

SD is averaging upper 40's in points for their last 6 games. Only 5 games under 40 points. All 5 were in the 30's and were the first five games of the season. Only losses were first two games against good FCS teams. In other words, this is an offense...

VB seems to make interesting and reasonable points. Maybe not compelling to you, but certainly not ridiculous. No need for personal attacks.

P.S. I know, "Stick to Swimming/Diving, bud." You don't even need to waste the key...

Seriously. 400 mile bus trips? Where did you find this info? Not doubting you, just want to have a source when I talk about this with others.

Is this for the teams? Or the fans?

And is it just for the second round? ...

In my all-important battle for 9th with the ultra-optimistic clenz (kudos for picking UNI to win each week), I pick:

• UNI for the win
• 21 point margin of victory
• 65 total points scored

...

So, now, although both On and 95 get credit for winning, we can continue the game with tiebreakers for 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 9th places for those who want to do so.

Let's keep it simple.

• Who wins the UNI/San Diego game?
• If needed, margin

...

Now that the playoff brackets have been announced, it is time for the other big news. The final standings for the 2019 Confidence Picks game are:
...

Predicting the FCS playoffs is an impossible task once you get away from the very top teams. I would love to be seeded, but just glad for at least one more home game before going on the road to do some damage....

Hmmm. Wrong thread. Didn't expect basketball bracketology today!...

We had a great treat this morning. We were in Skokie for my wife's medical treatments and who do we find at the hotel breakfast? Bethany and the UNI divers!

When Bethany was a senior, she mentored UNIdaughter as a freshman (and Bethany's...
