Griz #6

[Cuervohola]

Man this is a dream bracket.

Losing to the cats was a good thing as far as playoff bracketing is concerned.

By losing to cats we avoided NDSUs side and have a great draw with a legit shot at facing JMU in the semis.

Cat Griz Natty on the table as well!

We'd have to beat Weber on the road first (unless they get knocked out). Let's not count our chickens.

I fully expect Kennesaw to destroy Weber since Kennesaw had such a brutally tough schedule and were ranked #4 for weeks.

Your sarcasm is duly noted. However in order for Kennesaw to face Weber they would first have to knock off Wofford at home. Might happen but I doubt it.

Wouldn't it be something if Monmouth beat Holy Cross at home then beat JMU?

Yeah, I pick Wofford. They didn't play anybody from the NAIA and they scored 14 against Clemson.

Wofford will beat Kennesaw State and the only thing that will keep it close is that both teams use an O that will guarantee 8 possessions each for the game.

We've now seen K-State play several times (well, parts of several games ... 'cause that's all you can stand.) Their fearsome option lost a huge amount when the "inaugural" football class graduated. They've gotten better as the new guys gained experience, but I don't think they're yet anywhere close. As long as Wofford doesn't "look ahead" (could happen), they should win handily.

 

[Cuervohola]

Kennesaw beat Wofford last year in the first round, at Kennesaw.

Kennesaw beat Wofford last year in the first round, at Kennesaw.

Yep. but that was then, this is now.

This year, the game is at Wofford.

More importantly, this K-State is a mere shadow of what they had last year. They graduated 17 members of the guys that lifted them from zero to being a contender. Among them was their star "run first" QB. We saw many of their games this year, and their replacements were simply not ready yet. They got better as the season progressed, but they are (deservedly) way down from Wofford in the Sagarin rankings (#148 vs #124), despite playing a very weak schedule (236 out of 256). Sagarin projection says Wofford wins by more than a TD, but I don't think it will be that close.

Well, as a fan, I would be livid that they scheduled two NAIA teams. That's a giant ???

As far as the SE Cajuns and Nova, the game is on ESPN 3, whatever that is.

Well, hey ... at least one of the two NAIA teams was pretty good, at their level. Reinhardt won the Mid-South Conference, after all. But they were bounced in the first round of the NAIA championship tournament. (Who knew NAIA had a football championship tourney? ) Point U was not so hot, however: They finished 5-7 and something like tied for fifth in the Mid-South.

ESPN3 is their online streaming service. Last year, those games were also broadcast on the DirecTV 700 channels . We're hoping they will be again this year.

Oh, Watch ESPN... Now I remember, half the time Charter lets me watch and half the time they don't since I only have the internet. I hope to get it, would like to preview.

On the ESPN App for the Roku (Assume it's the same for Fire Stick, Chromecast etc), searching for Villanova finds the game.

Clicking on the game says it will begin Saturday at 4... It doesn't say I'm not allowed to watch or I need to verify credentials or whatever. I guess I have to wait until then.

Sometimes, I can't watch on the big screen, but it lets me on the tiny computer screen.

NAIA has had a championship since 1956. What happened that year? Cats won their first national title with a 0-0 tie. You do have to respect a team that turns no score into a national championship.

Yeah... 4 Ties in the history of the NAIA Championship... Apparently in 56', the Cats insisted on the invention of what is now known as the Participation trophy, commonly seen at every single Liberal gathering.

Carroll has won by actually winning 6 times.
