My fingers are crossed for a playoff appearance, but even I still think the Grizzlies are a longshot.
I would also like to see Chase in the playoffs...and our defense. They deserve another game. I doubt there would be that big of outrage...if the Griz get in...It isn't like we were ever trounced...every game was really down to the last minute or seconds or whatever. And like it or not we have a venue and fans that pay money.
Would never waste my time or money going to Bozeman to watch scat football, even when the Griz are there.Cats2506 said:
I am wondering if any cat fan actually will admit to the fact that the better team did not win today? I understand TOs are part of the game, but it really was a case of Grizzlies beating themselves, which emulates EWU, CP, and Weber. I have no problem getting beat and walking off the field, but to know we beat ourselves really irritates me. I also appreciate a win being a win, so as much as it hurts me to say it...congrats on having a heckuva QB and on the win.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Both years the Griz were 8-3 which is a solid playoff record. In 98 the Griz were big sky champs and received an auto bid to the playoffs. Unlike the Bobcats, I'm pretty sure the Griz have never received a bid with less than 8 wins.
Here is a quality 7-4 team that will get in. They actually beat somebody. Wins against App St and Furman, both 9-2. One loss to FBS Navy.

If the griz get in, fine. if they don't fine, really who cares at this point. In a 16 team field, maybe you care, but to get in because thy bid more money? why? is this what you ant to support?
I am not disappointed in the loss. I am heartbroken by the number of Cat fans in the NEZ. Griz nation has given up on this team, and it happened before the games started. What is the point in financially supporting this sham of a playoff situation if the griz get in?

It depends on how you look at the big picture. Good teams can turn the ball over 4 times, good teams can have an off day. The Griz have had a lot of changes this year and that should be remembered by all you naysayers. Griz have dominated for years and maybe this isn't their year. (I hope it is). I would love to see us make the playoffs and play a mistake free game. Our seniors deserve it.
Why not put the top 20 teams in the final rankings into the playoffs? I'm assuming the rankings are based on quality of wins, records within conferences, etc. Why all this calculating re: who gets into the playoffs? Determining playoff teams seems pretty simple.

You really want a bunch of media hacks deciding who gets in. The system used works.
Maybe you can argue if you should be the 20th team in but at least the people making the decision are looking at the totality of a teams work and not just voting for the local team and moving somebody up just because.

Money has everything to do with unseeded teams, and who hosts. All teams put in blind bids for the first round, and when the committee matches everyone up, whomever has the better bid hosts.
Why do you think people bitch about Montana always hosting a first round game when they are not seeded? It is because they know what they will make and always put in a bid that crushes everyone else.
As I have said, the FCS playoffs are a drop in the NCAA bucket, but even the NCAA likes to make money, rather than lose when they can.
Cats2506 said:
Aren't the voters of the rankings nationally dispersed? They're not just "local" voters. What do you mean by "local," BTW? I bet that very few of the teams selected for the playoffs will not be in the top 20 rankings. Now, when it comes to seeding, that's another matter, entirely.
What I'm saying is, UM should be in the playoffs as a finisher in the top 20 FCS teams. Pure & simple.

If we don't make it I'll root for the Bigsky (what ever team(s) that may be. Even the Cats). Simple as that. East Coast teams can kiss my Turkey eating Griz's ass.
PS... The Griz need to burn the ISU uniforms.

Sounds like D2 likes the BCS approach -- but with no computers and only one poll. Stupid.
Are you aware that there are times when it appears that block voting has been practiced by voters favoring their own conference?
Do you really think the No-Scholarship teams are as good as the schollie teams?
Do you really think that schools playing in conferences that have never or rarely won a playoff game are of the same caliber as the heavyweight conferences -- CAA, Sky, Southern, for starters?
That's why the qualifications say history WILL be considered, as well as facilities, how teams are treated when arrangements are made for visitors, and who has a history of producing $$.
Plus, the poll MAY include teams that do NOT participate in post season. Ivies and SWAC, for two.

So doesn't it matter that we are ranked #11 and barely lost(should have won) against the #8 team, while NDSU got shut out by an unranked opponent? Do they take into consideration how teams are playing now, like they do in the basketball tourney. I think that should put us in before NDSU.
