Final Playoff Predictions

So the season is officially over and it was a wacky season to say the least. We have a clear favorite but after NDSU who really knows who's the second best team out there let alone who's all in that next tier of championship hopefuls.

The committee is gonna have its hands full as there will be a lot of teams with 6 and 7 Div-I wins all square on the bubble and looking to be in the field of 24. Needless to say that this year things are a little bit stretched at the bottom. But that is what makes it all the more interesting

We'll know officially in about an hour or so, but for now here are my field of 24. Bids done by conference. Few surprises too

Big Sky (4)

 Weber State, UC-Davis, E. Washington, Montana State

Big South (2)

 Kennesaw, Monmouth

CAA (6)

 Deleware, Stony Brook, Maine, James Madison, Towson, Elon

Missouri Valley (3)

 S. Dakota St, N. Dakota St, Indiana St

Northeast (1)

Ohio Valley (2)

 Jacksonville St, SE Missouri St

Patriot (1)

 Colgate

Pioneer (1)

 San Diego

Southern (2)

Quarterfinal Predictions

Not gonna lie I probably should have done this for the entire playoffs but I had been on the fence about doing something like this. We will see how this goes and if I actually get this out before the first game which is in about 3 hours. Maybe if I get the first one out I'll post then update as I go along. But anyways onto the predictions. NO scores or anything like that just what I'm looking out for and who is gonna come out on top. There are some very interesting matchups for the Quarterfinals as only one is really considered a mismatch, and that is only because its NDSU in the FargoDome. Outside of that these are very evenly matched teams who in one case mirror one other so closely. As talked about in the last post, home teams so far in the playoffs are 15-1 and most of the games haven't been close. I will say this, I have at least one road team winning this weekend Onto the picks: No. 7 seed Maine (9-3) at No. 2 seed Weber State (10-2) Kickoff - 8 p.m. ET    Co...

Semi-Final Predictions

Needless to say, the matchups this week are really good. You don't get to the point as a team just by sheer luck, you gotta have some talent behind you and all four of these teams have talent. Both games are a toss-up and you almost wish they were played on a neutral site but even then I have no doubt that we are gonna have two really good games between teams that are pretty evenly matched. I went 3-1 last week last week though I should have pulled the trigger on Maine, but don't hold it against me. Looking around at a few of the other FCS publications I've seen all four teams picked at a decent spread and all four have arguments for being in the national championship. I do think we will see an unexpected matchup in the national championship a couple weeks from now. No. 7 Maine (10-3) at No. 3 Eastern Washington (11-2) Kickoff - 2 p.m. ET    Coverage - ESPN2 Series - First meeting Matchups like this are awesome...it puts two teams that might play ...

Well here we are...the final four in this year's FCS playoffs are set. And when you look at the four teams, its not a bad collection of programs. We have the "juggernaut" in NDSU, the "steady contender" in E. Washington, the "little brother" in SDSU, and we have the "surprise that shouldn't be one when you see them play" in Maine. We have the top three conferences represented, which isn't a huge surprise. We are also guaranteed that for the eighth straight year an MVFC team will be in the championship game and we also know that for the 11th straight year, the national champion will come from one of these three conferences. The last school to win a national championship that wasn't from the MVFC, Big Sky, or CAA? Appalachian State, the last of that three-peat in 2007. And naturally the beat Deleware, a CAA school in the national championship. Here is a look back at the quarterfinals:  No. 7 Maine 23 - No. 2 Weber State 18 ...
