Craig Haley has them as the 7 seed and that’s the best option. Avoid a first round game (non seeded) or being lined up to face NDSU. (#8 seed).

I just don’t understand some of these brackets that are out there already. One has Weber as an 8, and others have different flaws (if you will) that make me instinctively discredit them in my mind.

I saw that weird one with Weber at an 8 no way thsts happening. I think the “no bowls”, hero guys,
And Craig are all solid. Really interesting to see what the committee does W/ UCD/Colgate.

I think JMU has earned a seed with the last two weeks result and 1000% they won’t put them as the 8 seed potentially putting them against NDSU that early. They’ll be the 7 seed imo.

To me the top 5 seeds are set:
NDSU, Weber, SDSU, Kenny, EWU would be my personal order but they could end up in any order.

Then I think committee will slot JMU at the 7. This leaves the 6 and 8 seed for these three teams: Colgate, Maine, & UCD. Now this JMU at 7 is important. If they are the 7 then how would you put Maine below them since Maine was the CAA champ and auto bid? So in this scenario they become the 6. That leaves Colgate/UCD for 8.

This is what I believe the committee will do not what I think shouid happen. UCD resume > Maine resume (Maine has an FCS win but a two FCs losses including a bad one vs W&M. (They might have two wins over playoff teams if Elon gets in).

It comes down to Colgate vs UCD for a seed imo - this is how I think the committee will view it.

We will see shortly.

If Maine is going to get a seed, I think we can kiss our seed hopes goodbye.

Insane in the Maine-brain. NO.

The Ags are 9th in FCS per Sagarin's rankings, but behind both 5-loss Illinois State and 5-loss Northern Iowa.

And the committee’s simple rating system is more favorable to us than Sagarin’s because:
1) it give a bonus for FBs win
2) factors in wins rather than pure points
3) limits impact of scores at 21 point differential.

Yep. I think we’re a 7-seed, 8 at worst

An Ag school is always seeded...

Who is on the 'committee'?

The Ags are ranked 6th in the final AGS poll.

All good points. I hope I’m reading this wrong. I’d love to see a 6/7 seed but not sure the committee goes that way. One hour or whenever this hoops game ends (which I’m sure won’t be on time...)

Bang!!!! 6.....

No JMU!

Awesome

Woooooo

IW gets in prob means no Lamar, bummer. The two had such a great run going.

How about the #3 vs. #6 matchup at Cheney? I don't like that.

Colgate gets a seed then will get to host JMU on second round. Yikes.

Kenny V Wofford,
Option vs option potential second round.

Oh boy. UNI would be a beast to play in round two.

6th seed! Hell yeah!

Any non ESPNU or ESPNU hack for non subscribers?

hmm not sure.

Northern Iowa vs. Lamar. What should UC Davis know about them?

Am I understanding correctly that we have a bye week and a home game? Or do we still need to buy tickets to win a home game bid?

I was expecting 7th seed at highest. 6th is outstanding.

Bye week next week home vs. Northern Iowa / Lamar winner

Lamar is red hot, 6 game win streak...beating 4 ranked teams to finish season and get to 7-4

As someone who has a good feel on the landscape on FCS, I’d rather face anyone else on the Ags side of the bracket except UNI from that first round group. I think they will beat Lamar. They are a tough physical team, defense will remind you of the EWU group. OL gonna need to be ready. That said UNI downfall was their performance on the road this year. UCD needs to sell the place out and make it a big advantage.

Not having game on Thanksgiving weekend will help!!!

Buy your tickets now and get your popcorn ready!!!!
