FCS Playoffs Pick'em 12/3/2016

San Diego at 1 NDSU:
How did a non-scholly team beat Cal Poly??? NDSU might have their starters on the pine the entire 2nd half. This one shouldn't be close.
My pick: NDSU

Villanova at 8 South Dakota State
Nova has played 2 playoff teams this season, JMU and Richmond, and lost both by a combined 43-7. SDSU plays a tough schedule in the MVFC and has quality wins over NDSU and Youngstown State.
My pick: SDSU

Chattanooga at 5 Sam Houston
This game is fairly intriguing... Sammy finished the year unbeaten and ranked #1 in the STATS poll. However their schedule was soft, their only quality win was a 59-23 thumping of Central Arkansas. Chatty finished 3rd in the Southern conference, with losses coming from The Citadel, Wofford, and a fairly respectable 31-3 loss at Alabama 2 weeks ago. They spanked Weber last week 45-14.
My pick: Sam Houston

New Hampshire at 4 James Madison
Rematch game. JMU ran the the table in the CAA conference, including road wins over Villanova, Richmond, and a 3 point win at UNH. JMU is a solid team, with their only loss at FBS North Carolina.
My pick: JMU

Youngstown State at 3 Jacksonville State
Another interesting matchup... YSU finished 3rd in the MVFC, with road losses to NSDU and SDSU. JSU finished the year with just 1 loss, at FBS LSU. However, the Ohio Valley is a pretty weak conference.
My pick: YSU

Wofford at 6 Citadel
Another rematch game. The Citadel won by 3 at Wofford in October, Wofford led most of the way but gave up 14 points in the 4th quarter. Both these teams are solid, and the winner could make a deep run.
My pick: Wofford

Richmond at 7 North Dakota
Richmond has been up and down this year, but has some quality wins. Admittedly I only saw UND once this year - in Bozeman. I thought they were a decent team, solid D and they run the ball well, but they're nothing too scary. They're undefeated in conference but didn't play EWU or missoula. They do have home wins over Weber and Cal Poly, but both those teams were 1 and done in the playoffs last week.
My pick: Richmond

Central Arkansas at 2 EWU
This is a game that EWU should win at home. UCA played a fairly soft schedule this year. They played 1 playoff team, Sam Houston, and got thumped 59-23 just 2 weeks ago. UCA did come from behind to beat Illinois State last week in the first round.
My pick: EWU

YSU - JSU is a tight one, YSU up 27-24 late in the 3rd.

Nova playing well at SDSU, tied at 7 at halftime.

Sammie up by 7 on Chatty, almost halftime .

NDSU up 14-0 in the second.

UCA goes up 7-0 to EWU, they're looking like the better team today.

14-0 now, 9 min left in 2nd qtr. UCA already has 100 yards rushing.

[91catAlum]

EWU with a much needed 12 play 95 yard TD drive.
14-7 UCA

[91catAlum]

YSU up 37-24 on JSU with 7 minutes left.

[luckyirishguy25]

EWU with a much needed 12 play 95 yard TD drive.
14-7 UCA

Yeah they're starting to look better, they need to keep it up on D too.

[luckyirishguy25]

EWU gets a fumble recovery on the kick off.

[luckyirishguy25]

EWU ties it up 14-14 Kupp TD.

[luckyirishguy25]

3 unanswered scores another Kupp TD after being shaken up two plays prior.

A fumble, then a pick. UCA could regret those turnovers.

[91catAlum]

Sammie up 35-24 after 3.

Nova still tied with sdsu midway thru the 4th. I'm surprised by that, I thought SDSU would win fairly easily.

YSU will win, less than a minute left up by 16.

JMU wins.

I won't be near a TV from 430 to 8, please post UND Richmond updates if you can.

Will do, Villanova and SDSU is an epic battle. I think SDSU has the momentum right now.

They've got a really nice looking stadium, too bad it's about 25% full.
