It doesn’t matter if your favorite FCS team is unbeaten or defeated an FBS opponent, somehow it’s been overlooked, undervalued and disrespected.

It says on the Internet, so it must be true.

The season-long bickering is almost over (insert laughter here). The NCAA selection committee will unveil its 24-team pairings on Sunday during an ESPNU selection show, beginning at 12:30 p.m. EST.

Maybe you’ll be happy with the field, but more likely, you’ll find something to complain about.

But first, get worked up by our bracket projection. At least Mercer and Northern Iowa will – they were the last two teams left out.
