FCS BRACKET CHALLENGE: Semifinal Leaderboards

One more round left! This week Georgia Southern suffered a heartbreaking loss to NDSU after a blocked FG & Eastern Washington’s insane comeback came up just short against Sam Houston State. The National Championship will be a rematch of last year (when NDSU won it all)

North Dakota St 23/ Georgia Southern 20

Sam Houston St 45/ Eastern Washington 42

Since no one picked Sam Houston State to win (Correction: no one in striking distance) and Hapapp is currently in first place with North Dakota St picked, it looks like no one can pass him. He also picked Sam Houston St to reach the championship as well! Nice job! I’ll post the final leaderboards next week anyway to see where everyone shakes out! Once again, thanks to everyone who participated.

FCS BRACKET CHALLENGE: Round 1 Leaderboards

Thanks to everyone who entered the AppStateNation 2013 NCAA Div-I FCS Bracket Challenge! You can still make a bracket, but it will be considered “late” and not eligible for a prize. To review the bracket that you submitted, click HERE.

Yesterday was round 1 which consisted of 4 games. Each participant received 1 point for every game they picked correctly. Surprisingly, no one picked all 4 games right! For those of you who struggled this round, keep in mind that it’s unlikely those teams will advance much farther and the later rounds are worth more points! Let’s see how everyone did:

RUMOR: App State/New Mexico State to Receive Sun Belt Invites Tomorrow

**UPDATE: Rumor was not true, read THIS.

This is a RUMOR. I say it again…*RUMOR ALERT*. Don’t get pissed off if this doesn’t happen.

According to an Arkansas State “Insider”, App State is #1 on Sun Belt’s expansion list along with NMSU for football only. That would give the conference 12 football teams that would look something like this:
