Wow. Brutal path to the semis for the Griz. Montana state definitely got the better draw to go deep.

How so? The cats got raped. Cc was a seed team until yesterday then they’d have to go to csus that pounded them then NDSU. I don’t think it could have gone worse for the cats.

I’d take Albany, and sac state as a probable path to the semis. We most likely get nova, then either Weber or wofford. Our run defense was exposed yesterday. Badly. And all three of those teams are proficient running the ball is all I’m saying

This word seems to be used rather casually a lot by some people.

Would be awesome to take down nova though. And it’s at home, where UM has been a different team this year. Then who knows, I could see wofford beating Weber In which case we could host another game. Going to be interesting. Good to be back in the playoffs for sure!

A chance at double redemption in back to back weeks. IF Villanova wins, and Wofford can get past Weber State, we can avenge prior playoff losses.

Not sure I want to play a TO team again. Ever. Ever ever. Ever ever ever.

Baer’s D doesn’t do well against power running teams.... :shock: (Weber being the oddball exception).
 
Just realized that with an upset of Weber, we could see
- Villanova
- Wofford
- JMU
in consecutive weeks.

Talk about the Ghosts of Playoffs Past. :lol:
 
Kudos to ESPN as that was a nice selection show. Not the 15 minutes we have seen in past years.

Interesting take regarding Villanova (thank you to Dane96 on AGS)

Why is anyone talking about 'Nova as a seed, as a third place team out of the CAA. Seriously...does anyone do actual game research.

'Nova owns three wins against probably one of the weaker conferences this year, the Patriot. Those three wins Bucknell, Lehigh, and Colgate, who own a combined 11-25 record, and the best OOC win being Lehigh's 10-3 win over FCS debutante, Merrimack. To be VERY clear, that's the ONLY OOC win for any of those three teams. Those three teams also finished 3, 4, 5 in the Patriot.

They beat Towson by a TD at Towson. They beat W&M by a TD. They lost to Stony Brook by a point. They (arguably) played JMU well. They lost at UNH. Beat Richmond at home by 7. They put a hurting on Delaware. And they beat a REALLY bad FCS debutante, LIU.

This has to be one of the WEAKEST 9-3 schedules, EVER. Truly. 5 of their 9 wins have come against some of the worst football teams in the country. Towson is their best win...followed by the Delaware bashing.
