Ya, it's BS to have a top 10 matchup in the first round. The Crusaders should know is going to happen every chance the NCAA gets. They stick to the 500 mile rule and claim it's only a financial decision.
Oh well, to be the best, they'll have to beat the second best, twice.
Here's the bracket with the rankings added. You can see how many ranked teams are facing unranked teams in round 1.
NCAA doesn't care about rankings when making their decision. Except when considering Texas teams. Can't have two of them going very far, you know, because of the costs. After all, the NCAA doesn't have much money
UMHB is getting the same kind of love UCF gets. Both haven't had football teams very long and both programs are doing extremely well. I wonder why the bias.....

While it could be different, it isn't. From a home game standpoint, I think playing a rival this weekend instead of next weekend should work out in the Cru's favor. Next weekend is Thanksgiving weekend and a lot of the students (fans) will be home for the holiday. Hopefully, Saturday's game will be well attended for the top ten showdown.
