Sorry. I was still frustrated following the Tech/UVA game.

[olldflame]

I was kind of hoping one or 2 more CAA teams would get knocked out in the first round, but they went 4 for 5 as a conference. Those other 4 teams were actually pretty solid choices though. The CAA is a strong conference, but I think JMU being taken to the wire by Wofford shows they are not so far above the pack that they deserve to have 5 teams in the playoffs.

[RagingTireFire]

The first four CAA teams definitely deserved to be there and the results from yesterday showed that. Don't read too much into the JMU-Wofford game being close as a negative reflection on the Colonial though. Wofford is a very good program that runs a unique offense and I would have been extremely surprised if this wasn't a competitive game. This really had no business being a 1st-round matchup for either team.

As for that other CAA school from the state that I would now gladly trade to Canada for six buckets of maple syrup and a ham, UNI is really good but I find it hard to believe that we would have done any worse.

Bitter Much Mat? Yea, me too?

[madmat]

I believe we could have done some damage in this tournament if allowed the opportunity, and opportunity that was offered to a less qualified team. What kind of national tournament favors one particular conference to the tune of letting in a 5th team? How is that good for the sport of college football?

[Sly Fox]

Preach it, madmat. I agree wholeheartedly. My level of frustration with how the NCAA operates their business has grown every year. The BCS mess is just the tip of the iceberg.

[01LUGrad]

Pres Obama = No BCS.

One good thing!

Sly...isn't the BCS in no way affiliated with the NCAA?

[Sly Fox]

Affiliated? Yes. They are partners in this game of greed.

[Fumblerooskies]

Affiliated? Yes. They are partners in this game of greed.

Please explain? I thought the BCS was totally separate from the NCAA.
