Thank you for posting that score. Yes Sir. Boone is a happy place tonight I bet.

UNH-UMASS should be a great game. UMASS is the favorite, but UNH's high power offense plus some turnovers could give UNH the victory.

I have a few friends who go to App. State, so I am definitely pulling for them. I had no idea the playoffs started today, though.

Well the Illinois State Redbirds won, w00t w00t. Now they travel to YSU to face a team that I watched beat them on our Parents' Weekend. We can definitely beat YSU and I would actually expect us to with a healthy squad of WRs....

Okay, outside of ISU's conference, I know very little of how 1AA works...

Why is it that #4 North Dakota State isn't in the playoffs?

I'm not sure, but I think that NDSU is in a transition period (moving from D2 to D1aa) which makes them inelligible for the tournament. Also, there are some 1aa conferences that don't participate in the tournament.

ballin,
I think that JMU/YSU game was for the championship. I would not be surprised at all to see YSU win it from here on out. Of course App St., UMASS & Montana probably have something to say about that.

It was definintely a shame that JMU and YSU faced each other in the first round, but what can we do. Rascati graduates this year and those are some big shoes to fill next season. Hopefully Landers is ready.

This is correct. NDSU is in their transition period. D-2 has different player eligibility requirements than the Football Championship Subdivision so their is a transition period (not sure how long) to give the school time to make sure all it's players are eligible.

Some FCS Conferences don't participate in the post-season, like the IVY League. I wish they would they have some very good teams.
