I'm seriously considering that Montana St - Idaho game for a road trip. I cheer for NDSU, but really think college ball should be played outside.
Idaho has to get by the winner of Lehigh - Richmond first, and Richmond looks quite strong. I don't expect MSU will have much trouble with New Hampshire or UT-Martin. I quite like Idaho's dome! Better than the one at ISU, in my opinion. But back when BSU won the I-AA championship, our outdoor stadium gave us a major advantage over Grambling during the playoffs - they were freezing.

Interesting that the Big Sky got five slots, MVFC only four, but I guess Missouri State losing two in a row didn’t help. A month ago I thought UND was a shoe in, not sure what happened to them.

Tough to pick the #2 seed when they have identical records and they each beat one of the top three teams.

Should be some good football to watch!

I couldn't believe the collapse the Bison had at the end of the game on Saturday. Their secondary got exposed and looked both slow and confused. It was frustrating to watch...

Being an Idaho born MSU grad with a Vandal Dad, I hate one will eliminate the other.

I do feel like Touchdown Tommy, the golden boy from Butte, is destined to lead his squad to Frisco.

Go Bobcats.

UND can't win on the road.
I think USD and SDSU missed 2nd place because they played a D2 team. The D2 teams have more kids on scholarship than Drake does, but the committee doesn't look at that.

SDSU had the whooping cough cancel the game against Portland state so they lost out on a D1 win. That's my understanding at least from what I've heard.

Griz looked sloppy sloppy sloppy last night. At home. That game next week is going to be interesting for them.

From what little I watched, seemed like they has a handful of players that hadn’t played all season?

A couple of skill guys they were saving red shirts on. Now that it's the playoffs, they aren't burning redshirts by playing them.
