This one will be close. I think SI will have trouble againsed the spread and lose in a close one. The home teams will prevail in all of the other matchups. I think the JMU bracket is absurd. 4(JMU, Vil, Mont., Cal)of the top 5 teams in the country are in the same bracket.

Traditional FCS conferences like the Southern, OVC, and Colonial should be guaranteed two teams minimum but no conference should get more than three with a 16 team field. Independents should join a conference or be left out.

Wofford appears as a much more dangerous preent for a #1 seed than S.C. State or maybe Eastern Kentucky. <BR/><BR/>Liberty looks like they were jobbed. As long as there are sixteen teams in the tournament, there should be a limit of four per conference(that's one per quarter - that's minboggling).<BR/><BR/>The Northern Iowa seed arguement, to me, seems like the committee's way of gauranteeing a second home date for the Panthers, provided they beat Maine. I don't think it's a coincidence that Southern Illinois was put in that quarterfinal(with UNI). A really fierce rivalry stands there and to add a playoff implication to it must make the NCAA's mouth water with visions of a sellout.<BR/><BR/>All in all, I think the pairings were pretty fair(other than Liberty and Maine). They probably could have swapped New Hampshire and Villanova. This would have put 'Nova and UNI together, who were likely the true 4th and 5th best teams in the field and really balanced the bracket out better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5644587556919650515.post-53892332548592658602008-11-24T00:57:00.000-05:002008-11-24T00:57:00.000-05:00How the hell did UNI get #3 over Montana?
