Playoff Line-up: One Man's Opinion

The oddball, WTF, pick that the committee is notorious for (there has been one almost every year):

Stony Brook/Lehigh in over Wofford
 
Bobcats pulled a tough draw. Stony Brook is a good team, and if they win that, they get to play Sam Houston again. Tough match ups.
 
First Round:
Villanova @ Stony Brook (Feeds to MSU)
Colgate @ Wagner (Feeds to EWU)
Coastal Carolina @ Bethune Cookman (Feeds to ODU)
Eastern Illinois @ South Dakota State (Feeds to NDSU)

Second Round:
Central Arkansas @ GSU
Illinois State @ Appalachian State
Cal Poly @ Sam Houston State
New Hampshire @ Wofford

I'm forgetting some matchups. Will update when they recap.

BTW with seeds, just a guess but I bet no way will three "western" teams get seeds. MSU and NDSU are locks for seeds, I see NDSU as 1 and MSU as probably 2 or maybe 3. ODU should get a seed, Central Arkansas should as well.

If a 3rd western seed is given EWU will get that funky 5 seed, otherwise I see it shaking down like this:

1. NDSU
2. MSU
3. ODU
4. UCA
5. EWU or GSU

People make logical arguments that you don't like and you just say "wrong". You really are an idiot.

The reasons have been discussed ad nauseum in various threads all over the various sites, pay attention. It's not just EWU fans saying it - there are very valid reasons for why MSU should not be seeded over EWU. Namely, we beat you. Or did you forget that already?

Also, nice name calling.

Dude, we get it already. Quit acting like some sour grapes crybaby before the event has even happened. Take some freaking prescription drugs and please calm down. You're playing up your team to the wrong people. I don't think anybody here is on the selection committee.
 
I get that EWU won the head to head game vs MSU but that's pretty surprising to me that EWU gets the 2 seed over MSU.

It boiled down to the head-to-head matchup. How can you not reward the team that beat the other on the road.
 
Here we go:

First Round:
Villanova @ Stony Brook (Feeds to MSU)
Colgate @ Wagner (Feeds to EWU)
Coastal Carolina @ Bethune Cookman (Feeds to ODU)
Eastern Illinois @ South Dakota State (Feeds to NDSU)

Second Round:
Central Arkansas @ GSU (paired with ODU)
Illinois State @ Appalachian State (paired with EWU)
Cal Poly @ Sam Houston State (paired with MSU)
New Hampshire @ Wofford (paired with NDSU)


So biggest teams left out:
Northern Arizona
Towson (How does UNH get in after getting drubbed by them at home?)
Eastern Kentucky
Richmond

The UNH selection is by far the biggest head scratcher. I don't have a problem with the Stony Brook pick.

+1. I do think MSU is better than EWU, but EWU won, so you've gotta give it to them.
