After yesterday’s developments, I felt this deserved its own thread.
I’m hopeful we make it after seeing the latest projections, but I’ve gotten my hopes up before.
The seniors on this team deserve this.
The selection show is today at 11:30 at CT on ESPNU:

I am hoping the Dawgs are in, and quite possibly hosting a home game next Saturday. I have however been hopeful before, only to be disappointed. Some teams winning/losing yesterday assisted our cause, but will it be enough?
I've seen 1 out of about 6 or 7 bracketology's that had us out. Hope the majority is right. We are definitely one of the top remaining 14 teams in the country after the auto bids. I really like our chances against anyone outside the mvfc besides maybe Montana.
Given the results from yesterday, I would be surprised if we didn’t make it in…hopefully we submitted a decent bid so we can host a game. All local HS teams have been eliminated so we aren’t competing with them anymore, hopefully get a good crowd for the first playoff game in Saluki Stadium history. Students will be on break unfortunately.
For at-large bids, is there anything that goes into the determination of who gets a home game other than who bids the highest?
Selection Show is on now.
#1 seed South Dakota State (shocker! 😀 )
#3 seed South Dakota (a real shocker - thought they would be #4 or lower)
also thought Furman would not get a seed due to a loss to a 1 win team yesterday
YSU in - that could be bad news for us
Youngstown?!
SIU vs 6-4 Nicholls 1:00 PM on Saturday, winner goes to #4 Idaho
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're facing Nicholls for a chance to play Idaho in 2 weeks
Man, what a relief. I’m so happpy. We got a home game too?!
