GRR: University of Kentucky
Well we saw the NCR D1AA quarterfinals produce a few nailbiters, and it's likely we'll see more with the semifinals.
Your NCR D1AA last four are Louisville, Boston College, Kentucky, and two-time defending champions Virginia Tech.
The GRR DIAA rankings, which include teams not in NCR, list Kentucky at #1, VT at #2, and Louisville #4 after they erased losses to Bowling Green and Western Michigan by beating both in their conference playoffs. And BC are ranked #12.
The Kentucky Wildcats won the SCRC final thanks to a fairly emphatic second half 32-12 over Tennessee Saturday.
NCR's DIAA playoff roster is clearing up.
Here's who made what seed:
The Liberty Conference champion is Boston College, with UMass runner-up. Both will be in the quarterfinals November 18 with BC hosting and, likely, UMass on the road.
Virginia Tech secured the MARC title over West Chester.
Kentucky staked its claim to being the top side in the SCRC and, perhaps, the whole of D1AA in the fall with a 40-25 defeat of South Carolina.
With that win and Tennessee’s very close 31-29 victory over Alabama the SCrC semifinals are set for two weeks hence.
