Race for the 2 seed

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

Pretty cool that everything has gone chalk so far this season. Looking at the schedule I thought the three toughest games we had prior to the brawl would be UND, Idaho, and Sac. Only one of those prove to be a real nail biter, while the surprise nail biter was ISU. When I looked at this years schedule I figured we had an 80-90% chance at going undefeated until the brawl. I figure we’ve got at least a 50% chance in that one. Both teams look pretty evenly matched this year. If the Griz can win the brawl and snag that 2 seed I wouldn’t bet against them making it to Nashville!

side note, I would give my left nut to host Harvard in their first playoff appearance. What a fun matchup that would be! The other team I want to see in the playoffs more than any other is South Dakota state. I’d love to get them inside Wagriz and give em a little payback for the last couple of years.

What if UND beats NDSU?

The committee going to seed their darlings NDSU behind Tarleton? Assuming Griz win out. Could we get a 1.Montana. 2.Tarleton 3.NDSU 4.UND. 5.SDSU 6.MSU???

What if NDSU beats them by 30?

 

[Copper Griz]

You gotta give them something for going to Bozeman and taking down the Cats. Sure it was bad against NDSU but they have shown to at least be better than MSU who is the 2nd or 3rd best Big Sky team with UC Davis.

What if everyone is overlooking how good UC Davis is and they beat the Cats? Davis has a lot riding on the next few games. Bozeman should be glad they are playing them at home. They are getting zero respect in the conversation. Not saying they deserve more, but talk about bulletin board material and motivation.

I can at least understand Montana seeing NAU in the second round since we didn't play them in the conference this year. But if we were to face off against the Cats in the playoffs, my hope would be that it's a semi-final game.

Hosting NAU would be fine, but I hate facing conference teams in the playoffs. Half the fun is seeing teams we’re unfamiliar with and seeing how we matchup with other conferences

What if NDSU beats them by 30?

Montana would have the 2 seed and a tough matchup in the national championship against NDSU but I doubt NDSU will beat UND by 30.

Here's how Sam Becton sees the seeding if the top 3 win out.

Top Eight Seeds
1. North Dakota State (12-0)
2. Montana (12-0)
3. Tarleton State (12-0)
4. North Dakota (9-3)
5. Lehigh (12-0)
6. Monmouth (11-1)
7. Tennessee Tech (11-1)
8. Rhode Island (10-2)

Sorry that guy is the worst FCS media guy out there… ..almost clueless

You scored exactly 3 points the last time you were in the NC game.

I doubt we will give up that many this year but double digits are out of the question. Troll

Depends on if they get their QB back before the cat game.

Dude is an absolute rage/click bait machine. It's how he is able to afford rent every month because of all the engagement he creates from his garbage hot takes.

I agree with the rage bate comment. Becton has Davis as #11 seed and Monmouth #6. Pretty wild.

Herder has Davis at #6 and Monmouth #9. Herder's list overall is way more realistic.

Tennessee Tech SOS is #100, and Monmouth #65 (Massey). What a joke.

Our board says Pinnick came down with tonsilitis (sounds like it was a severe viral thing) right before the flight left for UNC last Thursday. Was in the hospital and didn't eat for 4-5 days. Hopefully, he's back this weekend for Idaho State...

Thanks for the update.

I agree. Looking forward to see how the Ivies stack up head-head. Believe it or not, I posted a link a few years ago showing that the Ivy League has placed more guys in the NFL than any other FCS conference. 18 Ivy League players have at least one Super Bowl ring.

You post- point is pointless, stupid and irrelevant. You are not only a troll. You don’t understand football.

I get a kick out of the lumbering bovine. But come on, Griz Fans, he's fishing in a well stocked pond. His pride goeth...before the fall of an obstinacy.

Ah Yat has come a long way since that game, and we didn't have Wortham at all.

 

[mthoopsfan]

We also didn't have Ah Yat or Wortham in that game.

And our QB was injured in first half. And we had already beaten NDSU in the playoffs a few weeks earlier.

What an idiot Fat Boy is.

 

[FatBuffalo]

What if NDSU beats them by 30?

It will be more than that. If we only beat those guys by 30 we should give up our football program.

I will be cheering for just 29, not because I care if the Bizon have a program, because Fatty will explode. Prayers to his mom though, that will be a rough clean of the basement.
