Hello 1 seed

[MSU01]

SDSU is absolutely rolling right now, they beat a pretty good Missouri State team 45-9 on the road today. It would be really good for MSU if NDSU and SDSU are seeded 2 and 3 in some order.

[CalgaryCat]

I have a feeling UC Davis is going to get screwed out of a deserved Top 4 seed, but I can’t really blame the committee for leaving them out. NDSU made it a mess by losing today

Why, their only FCS loss is to the #1. NDSU was gifted win by ETSU MVC gets credit for their teams below top 4 and not sure they deserve it more than middle of Big Sky.

Good point. I do think UCD deserves a top 4 seed. Tomorrow will be interesting

Is Missouri State that good or are they like NAU, Idaho, Griz. If wins vs mid BSC teams don't help seed neither should mid MVFC

I would rather play USD than UCD. Larrison scares me

They went 8-4 and would absolutely be in the playoffs were they eligible. Their best win was 41-7 at Illinois State, who is also going to be a playoff team. They won at UT-Martin who is also in contention for the playoffs. Other than that, they lost at Ball State by 8 and played some other team that sucked this year. They aren't on the same level as the Top 5 but they're definitely good.

I would not be shocked if USD stays at 4. Their resume was underwhelming until an hour ago.

[MSUBRONCO]

Should.be for sure, WTG CATS!

[Augustus]

All I know is that it won't be a cake walk. Neither of the DSUs are slouches. Anyone else, we can beat. Those two scare me.

Jeez Davis looking very shaky against Sac

Well that will make it a bit easier in the committee if they lose

[TomCat88]

I think it should be:
MSU
SDSU
NDSU
USD
Davis

But it's the FCS selection committee, so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't put Davis at 3. That way they don't have to have conference opponents play each other in the semifinals.

Or maybe even if they squeak out a win. Other than their comeback against MSU that may have been quite heavily ref-assisted they haven't looked to be on the same level as MSU and the Dakota teams the last two weeks.

[KIX]

The committee now gets to deal with this to decide seeds 2 through 5:

NDSU, 10-2 (10 D-1 wins), MVFC co-champ, win over SDSU
SDSU, 10-2 (9 D-1 wins), MVFC co-champ, win over USD
USD, 9-2 (8 D-1 wins), MVFC co-champ, win over NDSU
UC Davis, 10-2 (10 D-1 wins), only FCS loss to #1 MSU

Good luck to the committee and GO CATS!!!

SOS, I imagine it goes SDSU, USD, NDSU and we will get NDSU.

That would $uck. NDSU #3? USD stays at 4?

[KIX]

I think it should be:
MSU
SDSU
NDSU
USD
Davis

Agree with your original top 5

I agree with this but with NDSU and SDSU swapped. NDSU has the #1 SoS, one more D-1 win than SDSU, and beat SDSU head to head. I do suspect that SDSU is the second best overall team.

It’s only fitting the committee puts NDSU on our side as they like to do.

Crazy that Davis and Sac are so close. Did Sac go find some different players or something? I'd guess, even if Davis holds on to win the Causeway Classic that they will be 5 and Dakotas will be 2, 3, and 4.
