4_tattoos Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've been looking for the announcement brackets all morning, no such luck. Anyways, I love the lower division playoffs. Hope we get some good matchups this year. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac12 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 So, the championship game will be back at Frisco, Texas this year. I preferred it in Chattanogga, but I'm biased because I was born in Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thad Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Boy the geography part of making this bracket kicked App State in the behind. GA Southern is legit...I can't argue with the teams that made it. Any bubble team only has themselves to blame.

4_tattoos Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Wow, Towson made the playoffs? I usually keep pretty good track of how all the college teams in the state of Maryland are doing. How did that one slip by me?

They had a 9 game win streak and had ascended to #1 in the polls, but they played this weekend like they expected to win because of the ranking.I'm taking it one game at a time, not making any predictions. But other than the final result, the ultimate for me would be for the Cats to beat the Griz and North Dakota State (who we lost to last year in the playoffs) on the way to the championship. Nothing better than a revenge tour!The last time New Hampshire and Montana State met, it was in the playoffs in 1976. The Bobcats won on their way to the national championship. Hopefully, history repeats itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdav Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 No Eastern Washington? No red turf?Starting the season 0-4 to makes it hard to defend a national championship. That said, they probably would have been in had they not lost to Portland State. And they'd be riding a 7 game winning streak, just like last season.Injuries just killed the Eagles this season. With Bo Levi Mitchell at the helm, they would have been a scary matchup for anyone in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webdav Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Should be nice weather in both Bozeman (for New Hampshire at Montana State) and Missoula (for Central Arkansas at Montana) - 30s with some chance of precipitation. That's got to be a relief for Central Arkansas, especially.I remember a playoff game in Bozeman between MSU and Furman where it was 18 degrees (which is fairly warm), but the Paladins were freezing their butts off. The Bobcats jumped to a 24-0 lead in no time and coasted the rest of the way.New Hampshire and Central Arkansas might be affected by the altitude a little - Bozeman is just under a mile high, Missoula is 3,800 feet or so.
