Again, no one saw this coming. Most here expected to host San Diego in a first-round game next week. @EWUFootball

The @EWUFootball locker room is utterly silent right now, lots of tears and embraces. For the seniors, this is a tough way to end the season.

Also James Madison in quarterfinals. Screw the committee and their stupid geography rule. It's the 21st century, travel isn't difficult. NAU gets San Diego and Weber gets W Illinois. NAU didn't earn an easier game.

I really don’t see Weber beating Western Illinois.

I wouldn't expect anything different. I would guess you have every MVC team winning unless they are facing another MVC team in you little bracket prediction thing.

Weber State did not beat a single playoff team this year. Western Illinois crushed NAU and FBS Coastal Carolina. Better quality wins and played a much tougher schedule.
Big Fluffy has been very underwhelming in playoffs over the last 6 years outside of EWU. MVFC had their 3rd place team make the national championship game last year. It is unintentional bias....purely result driven.

I think we have exhausted that. Big Sky needs to get better. UM needs to get better in particluar (my bias). MIssouri Valley is the power of the FCS enjoy it. It may not last forever.

With the brackets the big sky drew, NDSU & JMU in the early rounds, none of the big sky teams will be going deep into the playoffs, thus little respect next year too.
With geographic inclinations of the bracket committee I think the big sky will have to go through the MVC every year.

Way too much love for Missouri and Ohio Valley conferences.
Something is VERY fishy with UNH, Monmouth, Fruman and NAU getting in over EWU, McNeese State, and some others.
The way these teams were picked I don't believe an 8-3 Griz would have gotten in.
The selection committee, consisting of one representative from each of the 10 FCS conferences that have automatic bids, will put the 24-team pairings together at NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis. The field will be released on an ESPNU selection show Sunday (11 a.m. ET).
Richard Johnson, the Wofford athletic director who represents the Southern Conference, is the chair of the committee, which also consists of Chuck Burch (Gardner-Webb, Big South), Kyle Moats (Missouri State, Missouri Valley), Tim Murray (Marist, Pioneer), Nathan Pine (Holy Cross, Patriot), Marty Scarano (New Hampshire, CAA), Greg Seitz (Jacksonville State, Ohio Valley), Bill Smith (Bryant, Northeast), Brad Teague (Central Arkansas, Southland) and Jeff Tingey (Idaho State, Big Sky).
