The lower divisions of the NCAA have come up with a crazy idea called "playoffs." The next five games cover the bracket madness of the lower-division teams with the SWAC game and the Heisman thrown in. Please note that any lines used for these games are generated by power ratings rather than Vegas, which ignores the lower-division match-ups. The line and possible bonus points for the Division I championship game will be determined after the semifinals. For choices where more than two teams are currently left in the playoffs, pick the one team among the four remaining that you think will win the championship. All picks must be turned in at one time.

I'm a little late, but I'm excited about going real gambling. Little trip to Tunica and the poker room is on tap for me. Sam's Town, be there, be square, etc, etc .
Anyway, sent before the friday night game and with a time stamp to prove it to Matthew.

And Valdosta State to claim the title and end Grand Valley's streak ...

and Mary Hardin-Baylor to claim the title. Because, for one, a girl's name is funny and my brother says that Mary-Hardin Baylor is good.
