Playoff picture coming into focus - but the seeding is still anyone's guess

[BWahlberg]

What a wild last week of regular season FCS this promises to be (making some ranking assumptions here):

#1 NDSU goes to #4 South Dakota (assuming USD jumps up 1)
#2 MSU hosts #10/#9 Montana (assuming UM jumps up 1 as well)
#3 SDSU goes to 8-3 NR Missouri State (Missouri St just got crushed by NDSU)
#5 UC Davis should have an easy win @ Sac (assuming UCD isn't punished too much for their loss)

From there:

Currently #6 Incarnate Word should beat a 3 win Texas A&M Commerce
Currently #7 Mercer should beat a 3 win Furman team
Currently #8 Idaho shouldn't have too much trouble with a feisty 5 win ISU team
#9 Villanova lost yesterday

#10 Montana, we know what's on the line here

#11 Richmond squeaked out a win, they now go to a 7-4 William & Mary who gets in with a win
#12 SEMO plays an 8-3 Tennessee State, not sure but winner might get the auto-bid
#13 Tarleton State just lost to #14 Abilene Christian
#15 Rhode Island barely got a win, and now finishes against a 2 win Bryant

USD could really muck things up if they beat NDSU

There is a legitimate chance that the UAC gets 3 teams in:

Abeline Christian: Won Conference

Tarleton State: Have enough wins currently, might need to beat UCA to ensure it.

SUU: The T-Birds win out they will be a Bubble team I think with a then ranked win over Central Arkansas, have the tie breaker win over EKU and have an FBS win

Best case scenario for the Griz is #7. And that’s as high as I go. If we loose to the cats I say 12. We will still host. There is no way we travel for the first game. The only way I see us really beating the cats is if Tommy, Humphrey, and Jones literally shit themselves on the field because they had some bad chili at Ted’s MT Grill the night before the game. Otherwise we are gonna get into a shootout early and often. The cats did give up over 300 yards passing to Davis. That bodes well if our receivers are lights out good.
