“The No. 3 and 4 seeds are likely between Montana and Lehigh.
Lehigh is 12-0 vs. the FCS with two currently-ranked wins (Yale, Lafayette). Montana is 11-1 overall with 10 D1 wins and one currently-ranked win (UND). Lehigh has two more D1 wins. But Montana’s Massey strength of schedule is 25th, compared to Lehigh’s 93rd. Montana’s only loss is a back-and-forth battle against No. 2 seed Montana State. Lehigh was in a battle with Lafayette, who was unranked in the media poll and No. 24 in the coaches poll. If the committee is going off of who they think is the better team (and they say eye test matters), then I think Montana gets the No. 3 seed.”
