A Sea Of Red

After the eighth week of play, 3 teams have won 7 D1 games and 52 of the 107 FCS teams still have an opportunity to reach 7 wins against D1 opponents. Nine teams were eliminated this week with a loss. The bubble teams that cannot afford another loss is at 21. To view a list of wins/losses, D1 wins, and D1 games remaining for each of the FCS teams, go to FCS Won-Loss through Week 8 (10/24/2009). Gardner Webb was added to the Bubble list this week. I previously included one of their non-D1 wins as a qualifying win.

Elimination Bubble (21) - Bucknell, Cal Poly, Citadel, Coastal Carolina, Fordham, Gardner Webb, Georgia Southern, Hampton, Hofstra, Illinois State, Jacksonville, Monmouth, Montana State, North Carolina A&T, Old Dominion, Stony Brook, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, Texas State, UC Davis, Wagner

I believe our Ticket to the playoffs is UMASS and Delaware Losing to JMU or atleast one of those teams loosing to JMU. If JMU could some how Win those games, than are 2 losses to WVU and JMU should get us in, If we win out.

This is the remaining schedule for each of the teams that are mathematically able to reach 7 D1 wins. Colgate, Richmond and Villanova have already reached 7 D1 wins. Numbers in parentheses are the number of games the team can lose and still reach 7 D1 wins.

I'm laughing that you made a chart. Mine's in Excel.

Eastern Washington's playoff ban was lifted by the NCAA today.

Which does us no favors.

It may not matter. EWU has to win out to be eligible and their last game is at NAU who are in need of a few wins themselves.

We needed that spot! Dang it!
