Why do they need more than 4 teams? I don't understand???

 

[UNA Lion]

Hey, you FCS pricks! When y'all gonna let in UNA?

Scared?!

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Why do they need more than 4 teams? I don't understand???

2015

1. Jacksonville St.
2. Illinois State
3. North Dakota State
4. McNeese State

Champion: ND State

2014

1. New Hampshire
2. North Dakota State
3. Jacksonville State
4. Eastern Washington

Champion: ND State

2013

1. North Dakota State
2. Eastern Illinois
3. Eastern Washington
4. Southeastern Louisiana

Champion: ND State

2012

1. North Dakota State
2. Eastern Washington
3. Montana State
4. Old Dominion

Champion: ND State

2011
#2 seed ND St = Champion

2010
#5 seed Eastern Washington = Champion

2009
#2 seed Villanova = Champion

2008
unseeded Richmond beats #4 Montana for Championship

2007
Unseeded App St. defeats unseeded Delaware for Championship

2006
#1 App St = Champion


3 times over the last 10 years a team outside the top 4 has won. Does this small sample warrant expanding the play offs beyond 4 teams? I say maybe, but I still think 4 is the right number.

Thanks for
Putting that together but 1/3rdnof the time warrants it to me. But that's just my opinion

This year's bracket:

 

[Droopdog51]

So we have the top 8

1)ND St.
2)EWU
3)Jacksonville St.
4)James Madison
5)Sam Houston St.
6)The Citadel
7)North Dakota
8)SD St.

So udefeated and #1 ranked Sam Houston is the #5 Seed?

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

24 teams and two are from Virginia

3 from South Carolina.

Just sayin'...

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

And of course, they're all in the same bracket and 2 of them will be eliminated by each other.

Why can't WE have nice things??

 

[Lance Armstrong]

So udefeated and #1 ranked Sam Houston is the #5 Seed?

Yeah, WTF is up with that?

 

[Droopdog51]

Yeah, WTF is up with that?

I guess the FCS is trying to be just as "unpredictable" as the big boys.

 

[whyoh]

what!?!? no Yale?!!?!?

 

[whyoh]

isn't it just time for NDSU to join the B1G?

 

[DHoey]

So udefeated and #1 ranked Sam Houston is the #5 Seed?

Yeah, WTF is up with that?

Strength of schedule. The top 4 teams have played the best of the best. Including some D-1 victories under their belts.
