Just off memory, but not certain, 2001 at Appalachian State.

Never know what might come down, but the loss yesterday is huge, now no week off to heal, get some other guys ready to play again. It would be a bummer to see us get sent on the road.

They tend to do regionalization a lot for the first round, and I think we bid better than most potential opponents in our area. If Richmond or JMU get a seed, good chance we wind up playing one of them in the second round. My hunch is that JMU gets a seed and Richmond doesn't, based on record. In that case I think Richmond goes to JMU 2nd round and we go to Charleston Southern, assuming they get a seed.

Final STATS FCS rankings going into the selection show....

#8 JMU
#12 Richmond
#13 William & Mary

JMU lost to BOTH Richmond and W&M, and the Dukes have beaten 0 ranked FCS teams this year. (correct me if Villanova was ranked last week, but that's no great shakes, as we beat them too). Incredibly frustrating.

Nov 28, 1st rd

W&M vs The Citadel (winner vs #4 Ill St)
JMU vs SHSU (winner vs #3 McNeese)
UNH vs Colgate (winner vs #2 NDSU)

2nd rd

UR vs Dayton/Chattanooga

Is this legit? And away game or home?

Where did that come from? And it doesn't show the host team, but assuming the hosts are on top, then we'd be on the road

Doesn't Bison Media usually do projections? I don't want to play the Citadel

Hosts are on bottom...scrub teams like Dayton and Duquesne aren't hosting.

Citidal beat USC yesterday with 373 yds rushing & 37 yds passing

So it's not that bracket

JMU is a 5 seed?! Ridiculous

We avoid the Citadel!

UNH keeps the streak alive

So based on what's left I'm predicting Duquesne in the 1st round and then Richmond in the 2nd

RICHMOND IN THE 2ND ROUND! I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

Well from a travel standpoint - that doesn't suck at all. Need to figure some stuff out in the first game to have a shot against UR in the second round.

I think this bracket is our best case scenario

Duquesne at 3pm then redemption @ UR. Great 2 weeks for getting Tribe fans attendance
