Things are getting more difficult in all of the regions. In this region, the top seeds bring some fire to the field on Saturdays. Beating them will require some major support for the underdogs. Richmond pulled out a win over The Citadel. North Dakota pulled off a stunning upset over Sam Houston State. South Dakota State (over Chattanooga) and Jacksonville State (over Wofford) took the easy route and dominated their matchups.
Round 2 will provide some tough matchups. The higher seeds mostly have great uniform setups that will be hard to overcome. Below is the updated brackets and the new poll.
