A Sea Of Red

What was all that one in a million talk?

Anyway, with EIU victory and EWU winning is it assumable that we are done?

'Nova up on Delaware 16-10 w/ 20 seconds left in the game

I ask again.

IF ..... LU gets the invite, how are the game pairings decided?

Nova w/ the BIG UPSET as they score 13 in the 4th to beat Delaware!

Wed play the best team within 300 miles of LU, just a guess

Wed be the last team in, although ags is really hitting the 7 wins thing so I doubt we get it

I dont think Nova makes it either

I seriously doubt a 7-4 team makes it, but if theres one its not Nova

'Nova has NO shot- though now that I think about it- I think we needed them to knock off UD for us to have any chance.

so I guess its good for us that they won

They really don't know any more than we do. Keep in mind Coastal's AD is on the committee and will be lobbying for us.

3:30 EST on ESPNU for the selection show

I won't poop 'til then

Coastal AD: "They have thundersticks, let em in"

I still say our chances are very slim, but we still have a shot...either way I am happy with the direction the program is going....

I'm trying to figure out the situation from what AGS has posted but the guy who is formating it the easiest seems to be using the term "eligible" which is not correct as we all know.

His thing is easy to get but I dont see 5 CAA teams getting in and if they are looking at all the teams then alot more teams are in the mix. YSU, LU and many others arent on that list because of the 7 win thing

If your not on ags, heres what theyre saying

and then I would include us as well

dang it. 1 minute too slow. My stinking kid was trying to show me something.

Being in college is so great!!!!!

8-3 CAA???

Id put them in front of nova

and 8-3 seems to be the cutoff I think theyre still in

I guess in the thought that the CAA won't get 4 in, you'd leave out DE or JMU. Everybody seems to give JMU the nod instead so who am I to disagree.

here's how I see it:

Richmond (9-2)...... Yes
Delaware (8-3)...... NO
Southern Illinois (10-1)...... Yes
Appalachian State (8-2)...... Yes
Eastern Illinois (8-3)...... Yes
James Madison (8-3)....... Yes
Alabama A&M (8-2) - losing...... NO
New Hampshire (7-4) - won...... NO
Norfolk State (8-3) - won...... NO
Villanova (7-4) - won...... NO
Colgate (7-4) - lost...... NO
San Diego (9-1) - losing...... NO
Dayton (10-1) - Idle...... Yes
Holy Cross (7-4) - won...... NO
Hofstra (7-4) - lost...... NO
Albany (8-3) - won...... IDK
Lafayette (7-4) - won...... NO
South Carolina State (7-4) - won...... IDK
Eastern Washington (7-3) - winning...... Yes

That makes sense then

that makes 15 with 2 unknowns and still leaves us outside looking in

yes

Look, the AGS people can talk all they want about the seven-win thing. But why would the NCAA even tell Liberty it was being considered if that was a hard rule?

They're either going to have to take a 7-4 team or take a team without 7 DI wins. And Eastern Illinois does not deserve to go. 12th rated conference in FCS. No good wins. A bad loss to Illinois State. Second place in that league. I'd vote a 7-4 from the CAA before I'd vote for EIU. But that's just me.
