FCS Pick Em – Quarterfinal Edition

Posted on by

Two playoff rounds and a dead heat, took a couple fliers last week on Illinois State, Cal Poly and Stony Brook, only the Redbirds came back with a win, Jeff tried on Coastal Carolina, but won on the games I lost on, so we got a tie game going here. Some great games this weekend, a reminder that all 4 home teams won last year in the quarterfinals. Look for our picks on the NDSU-Wofford game in tomorrow’s Forum and of course the Bison PreGame Show located in the NDSU Student Section line outside the Dome!

  3. How can anyone be proud of thieves who steal from their employer by getting paid for not doing the work. What a joke!!!

  4. I can’t wait to see the final score of the Old Dominion-Georgia Southern game. I’m guessing it’ll be triple digits.

  5. Nice to see upper Midwest teams going deep into the playoffs at D3, D2 and FCS levels.

  7. Sam Houston State looks pretty tough again. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit that they make it back to the national championship game.

    Picks of remaining games:

    GSU vs ODU =>GSU

    Bison vs. Wofford => Bison 35 Wofford 10

    Illinois State vs E Washington => Illinois State

  8. Jeff & Dom how could you pick Montana St. They are terrible and looked terrible. Shows that the Big Fluffy is just that, a overated conference. Sam Houston has the tools to be back in the NC game.

  10. ■Sam Houston St at Montana St – Sam Houston St. The Bearkats are the better team, but how much will Montana weather give them fits?

    ■Georgia Southern at Old Dominion – Georgia Southern. One Conference that has alot of problems with the triple option this time of year is the CAA, along with many others except NDSU.

    ■Illinois St at Eastern Washington – Illinois State. Impressed with their win at App. St last week. Can they fly across the other half of the Country and win another game at a tough place to play? If they are not suffering from jet lag and time zone changes I think they can.

    SWAC Championship
    ■Jackson St at Arkansas-Pine Bluff – Ark-Pine

    Best Game Of The Year
    ■Navy vs Army – Navy

    Division 2 Semifinals
    ■Valdosta St vs MSU Mankato – Mankato St.

    ■West Texas A&M vs Winston-Salem – Salem

    Division 3 Semifinals
    ■Mary Hardin-Baylor vs Mount Union – Mount Union

    ■Wisconsin-Oshkosh vs St Thomas – St. Thomas. (What… no Whitewater??) This has got to be the first time in like 50 years the Div. 3 final will not be Mount Union and WhiteWater. (Yes… a little sarcastic on 50 years.)

    Wofford @ NDSU – NDSU. No worries about Wofford speed. If Defense can play their roles and stop Wofford from gaining momentum and time of possession, I don’t think this is even close. If Bison take lead and get up early, tough for triple option to catch up. If Wofford shoots a gap and gets a couple big run plays and sticks around, will be close. Williams will have special teams TD today. Bison Defensive Coaches have been stellar in game plan and schemes and I expect no difference today.

  13. After watching SHSU/MSU game last night, SH was the better team and was actually prepared to play. MSU looked unprepared and not focused at all. Was actually a pretty boring game to watch.

  14. Bearkats and Bison look to be on a collision course for a FCS National Championship rematch on January 5.
    Today: Bison 35-10…defense will create offense.

  15. Watch out for the Big Chubby today ( RB Eric Breitenstein). If the Bison can put a lid on him like a did on Zack Zenner and keep an eye on the long air balls we should good.

  16. Don’t see how any one dementional team can beat the Herd. I think we will be playing GSU next week, Would love to see Ill. St beat EWU. I will say all MVFC or Bison/Bobcats championship.
