(STATS) -- Theyre not going to be happy at Sam Houston State.The Bearkats are ranked No. 1 in the FCS this week, but when projecting the upcoming playoff field, they wouldnt be the No. 1 seed.While Sam Houston State, Eastern Washington, Jacksonville State and North Dakota State all have reason to feel they should be No. 1 in the polls, strength of schedule would separate them in the playoff seedings.Sam Houstons resume is hurt by an FBS opponent (New Mexico) pulling out of their scheduled matchup. None of the six teams the unbeaten Bearkats have beaten are above .500.And think of it this way: Last season, McNeese was the only FCS team to go unbeaten in the regular season, coming from the same Southland Conference and having its FBS matchup canceled by inclement weather, and was the No. 4 seed in the playoffs.While five-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State just lost for the first time, the Bison might still earn the No. 1 seed today considering they have wins over Iowa, Eastern Washington, Charleston Southern and Illinois State, and only lost to a rival (South Dakota State) on a last-second touchdown.---=PROJECTED BIDS BY CONFERENCE=*- automatic qualifierBig Sky (4): Cal Poly (4-2), *Eastern Washington (5-1), Montana (5-1), North Dakota (5-2)Big South (1): *Charleston Southern (3-2)CAA (4): *James Madison (6-1), Richmond (6-1), Stony Brook (4-2), Villanova (5-2)Missouri Valley (4): North Dakota State (5-1), *South Dakota State (4-2), Western Illinois (5-1), Youngstown State (5-1)NEC (1): *Saint Francis (4-3)OVC (3): *Jacksonville State (5-1), Eastern Illinois (5-2), Tennessee State (5-1)Patriot (1): *Lehigh (5-2)Pioneer (1): *San Diego (5-1)Southern (3): Chattanooga (6-1), Samford (5-1), *The Citadel (6-0)Southland (2): *Sam Houston State (6-0), Central Arkansas (5-1)Moved In: Stony Brook (4-2), Tennessee State (5-1)Dropped Out: Albany (4-2), New Hampshire (4-3)On the Bubble: New Hampshire (4-3), South Dakota (3-3), Weber State (4-2), Wofford (4-2)---=STATS PROJECTED PAIRINGS=Top 8 seeds have first-round byesLehigh-Stony Brook winner at No. 1 seed North Dakota StateSan Diego-Montana winner at No. 8 seed South Dakota StateSamford-Charleston Southern winner at No. 5 seed RichmondCal Poly-Central Arkansas winner at No. 4 seed Sam Houston StateVillanova-Youngstown State winner No. 7 seed The CitadelWestern Illinois-North Dakota winner No. 2 seed Eastern WashingtonTennessee State-Chattanooga winner at No. 3 seed Jacksonville StateSaint Francis-Eastern Illinois winner at No. 6 seed James MadisonAir Max 270 Just Do It Pas cher .

After rallying from a 3-2 series deficit against Anaheim, the seventh-seeded Red Wings refused to be knocked out and credited that regular-season streak for getting them to the second round. "Those last four games really helped our team," Detroit captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "We almost had a series before the post-season started." The Red Wings reward isnt much of a prize. The leagues top-seeded team, the Chicago Blackhawks, will host Game 1 on Wednesday night to start a best-of-seven series in which theyll be heavily favoured. During the regular season, Chicago beat Detroit in overtime once, twice in shootouts and added a 7-1 rout March 31 at Joe Louis Arena. "They had our number the regular season," Zetterberg said. "Its a great team. Theyre stacked with forwards. Theyre stacked in the back line. And they have a good goalie. Its going to be a tough series for us, but its going to be a fun one." Its also might be the last time the two Original Six teams play each other in the post-season for a long time. After this year, the next time they would meet in the playoffs, it would be for the Stanley Cup. The Western Conference rivals, who have split a dozen seven-game series, will be interconference foes next year because Detroit is headed to the Eastern Conference as part of the leagues realignment. The Red Wings might be able to play loose with nothing to lose because few outside of their dressing room will expect them to reach the conference finals for the first time since 2009. That year, Detroit eliminated Chicago in five games and wwas a win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions.dddddddddddd Detroit is hoping to make another run this post-season, perhaps following the path the Los Angeles Kings did last year as the first team seeded eighth to win an NHL championship. "In the league right now, any team can beat any team," Red Wings defenceman Kyle Quincey said. "We said from Day 1, we knew it would be tough to get into playoffs and we battled all the way to the end. We just said to try to get in and see what happens. We saw what LA did last year and hopefully we can keep going and give Chicago a run." Detroit did outshoot the Blackhawks in three games, and had as many shots once. But the Red Wings couldnt score a clutch goal or make one more save in regulation, overtime or shootouts to win any of them. The Red Wings, though, have evolved into a different team than the last one Chicago saw April 12 in a 3-2 shootout win at the United Center. Detroit didnt get free agent defenceman Ryan Suter or forward Zach Parise in the off-season as both signed with Minnesota. But Detroits young defencemen, being forced to play a lot without Nicklas Lidstrom on the roster, have slowly matured and its inexperienced forwards have evolved into threats to score or set up teammates for goals. Goaltender Jimmy Howard has validated the teams decision to sign him to a six-year contract extension last month by making 70 saves over the last two games against Anaheim. While Howard insisted the Red Wings believe they can play with anybody, hes also not striking a cocky tone about trying to match up with Chicago. "Were going to have our hands full, lets be honest," he said. "Theyre a very deep team at every position." ' ' '
