FCS National Championship: Eastern WA vs N. Dakota St.

[KnightAndDay]

Set for noon kickoff on January 5th in Frisco, TX on ESPN2.

The Bison are the defending champs & they're chasing their 7th National Championship in 8 years. They've never lost a National Championship game (6-0). EWU is chasing their 2nd. They beat Delaware 20-19 in 2010.

Pulling for the Eagles.

EWU in a nail biter here!

NDSU will be too physical for EWU.

They are also too balanced a football team for EWU to handle.

Pulling for the Eagles.

Same, but I think NDSU wins.

 

[Tomhusker]

Bison win this one.

This. Nobody plays defense in the Big Sky, and EWU scored 6 points against the only team that sort of plays defense in that league. NDSU has played maybe one competitive game all year.

Of course, it wouldn't surprise me if NDSU pulled a huge choke job like Delaware did when EWU beat them.

I gotta say though, the people who schedule the FCS playoff games must really want nobody to watch. First two rounds during FBS rivalry and championship week. Championship game at fucking 9am the same day the NFL playoffs start.

Good luck getting anybody to give a shit.
