Flipping UNH with any of: Norfolk State, Villanova, Holy Cross, Albany, Alabama A&M or even non-scholly Dayton would have been okay with me. But really I don't think any of those teams are more deserving than UNH. UNH ranks 16th in GPI. That's ahead of all those teams I just mentioned. Sagarin has UNH ranked higher than all those teams except Nova. UNH also has 3 of their 4 losses to playoff teams (JMU, Richmond, UMASS). They beat another playoff team, Delaware and FBS Marshall. Their resume ain't bad. The committee did the right thing though, by sending the last team in to the #1 seed, UNI...despite the travel costs.

Re: **FCS (formerly I-AA) Football Playoff Thread**
Are we still allowed to talk about how stupid it is that they changed the name from 1-AA to FCS?
I know it's old news but it still bugs the crap out of me.

Also, we might as well also talk about how awesome the playoff system is here and how gay the BCS system is. If I-A had a playoff system it would make college football playoffs the best sports playoffs in the US....better than the NCAA tournament, profootball playoff, and baseball playoffs.

[/ QUOTE ] To be honest with you, it's growing on me. At least the new names are properly descriptive; it used to seriously life-tilt me to hear people describing a baseball or a basketball program as being I-AA (when the division only exists for football).

Re: **FCS (formerly I-AA) Football Playoff Thread**
App state getting extremely lucky that they won that game today vs JMU. We'll see if they can ride this good luck throughout the playoffs. I think UDel could be a team to watch out for the rest of the way. This should be an amazing bracket this year.

Re: **FCS (formerly I-AA) Football Playoff Thread**
As for the Committee they are always bad and biased in their selections for the most part. THey hate Wofford and Wofford will never get in unless we win the SoCon and the automatic bid. That being said Wofford should have had a home game since we won the automatic bid and beat App state and opening day for conference play. But we went out to montana and won. They could not stop our rushing attack. Wofford was set up to try and get beat by that committee. Well Wofford won and has proably more momentum than any team in the playoffs now cause the first game was a big one for wofford. If wofford and App state win again, App should have to come back to wofford to play us again cause we won the heads up game and because there is obvious favortism for App in the committee. I am and have always been a wofford fan and have seen a few 9-2 and 9-3 seasons end with no playoffs for our team. Understand this, Wofford is more about getting that committee and makeing them look bad than winning the games. But we must win the games to do that. The selection committee needs to be done away with and go on a power rateting system like the BCS and the top 16 teams at the end of the season with all the points and other things factored in go to the playoffs not this coaches and AD's picking people for favor later on, Frankly the committee is BS and Wofford has been stung by them more than anyone. All that being said GO T-DOGS! after treeing the grizz we are going to be hard to stop. Although I doubt anyone is going to beat UNI. Good luck to all of you and your teams.
