It could be announced tonight. But will be announced by tomorrow morning

[PapaG]

USD should get the Friday night game with MSU getting ABC at 2:30.

Lehigh is not a good team, UT Martin looked much more polished than them.

Pick 6 for Idaho, that should about do it for this one. Rematch with Idaho next week.

Wondering how Lehigh won last week. They look terrible tonight.

24 teams might be too many for the playoffs.

How are we feeling against Idaho, round 2? They are a healthier team, However, still struggled with a few of their last games of regular season. I think it will be similar but a little closer. Plus, they are a totally different team in their cute dome.

Feeling great, MSU proved in October that they are the better team especially when playing in Bozeman. It might not be 38-7 again but MSU should be able to win by two or three scores.

Also helps that UT Mary had somewhat of a pulse. Lehigh has flatlined.

Yes! Too many, haven't watched Lehigh yet but New Hampshire wouldn't win the Frontier conference. They were terrible and a 16 seed. Crazy!

I'm not liking having to play them again. Eck will come up with something and probably a tougher game than the first one but is what it is. Just another 1-0 week for the Cats!

What’s crazy is the Big Sky was having a down year, but I think EWU or even PSU would be beating a lot of these teams. NAU could not go it, however, you get them away from home field advantage and they are a much different team.

16 would be too few with 10 auto bids, possibly 11 if the Ivy League starts accepting theirs. Tarleton State was absolutely deserving of a playoff spot, and would have missed out if it was still at 16. The at large bids would have gone to NDSU, USD, IL St., UC - Davis, Idaho and Nova or Rhode Island.

Maybe we could just eliminate a few conferences from the tournament then? Pioneer and Patriot league could have their own championship.

Holy Cross was seeded out of the Patriot league a few years ago. They gave SDSU a game for 3 quarters in the QFs. You win your conference you deserve a bid. That's the beauty of the FCS playoffs. Until the DSUs and MSU both became elite, there was a lot more parity. Can't fault the rest of the FCS for that.

Yeah that’s fair

Been a mostly upset-less tournament so far. Was UT Martin the only road team to get a win so far? If that trend continues all the way through Frisco I'd be okay with it.

Also Lehigh over Richmond, but those have been the only two.
