So, if the math checks, the Aggies will possible play the #12 seed? (assuming the #12 team wins)

A little surprised they didn’t make Idaho 6 or 7. For one I think they had the resume for it. But if they and Mont St both win their first games, they’ll play each other. I know that’s not a huge consideration, if a consideration at all, but I would have matched Idaho up with a MVC team in the QFs.

What number seed do we not want Montana to get?

Correct. 1-16, 2-15, 3-14, 4-13, 5-12, 6-11, 7-10, 8-9.

While not getting the 4th seed is kind of disappointing, I'm not gonna complain about making the playoffs! Go Ags!

Don't want Griz to get No. 12, o/w we'll be playing them in Davis potentially.

We match up well with Montana. Idaho scares me much more…but we won’t see them since they are 8.

For sake of a different opponent, I hope the Griz don't get No. 12, but we've got a ton of tape on them, so yeah, not the end of the world...and who's to say the Griz will win the opening round? Not playing their best football right now. For that matter, neither is Davis.

I watched a good portion of the South Dakota game yesterday and that's a scary good team. They were manhandling NDSU for much of the game and, of course, pulled out a stunning upset in the final minutes.

You can sign me up for playing Idaho again only because it would mean we won 2 games and then would be hosting a semifinal game.

Also especially surprised they put Idaho at 8 since it means the three Big Sky seeds are all on the same side. MVC got 2 on the same side but SD is on the other half.

Give Montana the 13 please and feed them to South Dakota if they win their first game.

16. New Hampshire vs. UT Martin in Montana State bracket

9. Richmond vs. Lehigh in Idaho bracket

All Top 3 Big Sky teams are on the same side of the bracket

Illinois St is the 12 seed.

12 seed goes to Illinois State

12. Illinois State vs. SE Missouri State in UC Davis bracket.

Davis is potentially playing @ South Dakota if they manage to win their 12/7 playoff matchup.

SE MO.

Glad we aren't playing Montana.

SEMO. That should be an interesting game. But SEMO seems to be very overrated.

Will we send scouts out to watch them live?

No. 13 Tarleton State vs. Drake in the South Dakota bracket.

Is SE MO hosting because Illinois State is hosting HS championships?

Illinois St. has been rolling.

Illinois St went 9-3 but got crushed in their three losses to Iowa 40-0, NDSt 42-10 and Missouri St 41-7. Missed the other two Dakotas.

SE Missouri St has one ranked win, over No 22 UT Martin. Lost to a 5-7 team this year also.

Both beat Southern Illinois. SEMO won 38-21 and ISU won 45-10. Both games were at SIU.

Not the easiest draw, but I think the Aggies have the capability to beat either.

Montana would get SDSt in the second round.

#14 Montana vs. Tennessee State in the South Dakota State bracket

Illinois State is 5th place in a great MVFC. Only losses in the conference to NDSU and Missouri St.

Doesn't look like Southern Utah will get in...

#11 Villanova vs. Eastern Kentucky in the Incarnate Word bracket
