I would love to be sent to App. That would be freaking awesome. I just want our fans to experience The Rock.

[SumItUp]

Will you people stop it. I was finally in a place where I was OK with us not making the playoffs this year and now all this positive "it could happen" crap.

It could happen. That definitely does not mean that it will. If it bothers you, don't read it.

It doesn't bother me but I hate to ramp up the playoff train to get completely deflated again.

but if were the last ones in, wouldnt we (at this point) be going to richmond? and itll be during thanksgiving, but wouldnt it be better if in richmond since they already have less fans anyways? Plus we have quite a bit of alumni in that region, and Id say its closer, but i dont know how far app state is from lynchburg

[SuperJon]

If (biggest word on this entire thread) we got in then yes, it's likely we would go to Richmond.

[rueful]

i know its an if, but was just wondering

[jcmanson]

Trying not to get too excited at the possibility of playing UR. It would be a home game for me after all.

[Cider Jim]

Wondering if the winning coach takes the UVa job.

[matshark]

I don't think Rocco jumps ship for UVA after going to the playoffs for the first time ever.

[JMUDukes]

You don't want to go to App. Trust me. Not fun.

Now playing in Richmond, on the other hand...

[SumItUp]

Just for clarification, this is not a prediction thread. This is a possible scenario that would pave the way for Liberty to claim one of three open spots for an at-large bid. Liberty must win each of their three remaining games. Eastern Washington has been added to the list since their playoff ban was removed. As Sly stated at the start of the thread, "That's a lot of dominoes that have to fall". After the first week (9), all 5 dominoes did fall.

Week 9 - 10/31/2009 (5 out of 5 took place)
Southern Utah over UC Davis
Montana over Weber State
Appalachian State over Furman
Illinois State over Missouri State
Maine over Massachusetts


Week 10 - 11/7/2009
UC Davis over Cal Poly (both teams have been eliminated and this game is irrelevant to Liberty's playoff hopes)
Youngstown State over Northern Iowa
Ole Miss over Northern Arizona -
Auburn over Furman
Western Illinois over Illinois State
Delaware over Hofstra

Week 11 - 11/14/2009
Navy over Delaware
Weber State over Northern Arizona
Texas State over McNeese State
Illinois State over Youngstown State
James Madison over Massachusetts
Southern Utah over Eastern Washington

Week 12 - 11/21/2009
Cal Poly over Weber State
Illinois State over Northern Iowa
Jacksonville State over Eastern Kentucky
Villanova over Delaware
Eastern Washington over Northern Arizona
Central Arkansas over McNeese State
Citadel over Georgia Southern
Southern Illinois over Missouri State

AGREED, insanely cold and a a lot of walking up hill lol

[Schfourteenteen]

I dont think its that many dominos.

Liberty wins out
EWU loses 1 of 2
Montana State loses to Montana
James Madison wins out
Lafayette wins out

It would also be WONDERFUL if SE Lousiana beats SFA. That would eliminate a second Southland team and leave 2 open spots for the bubble teams

[Sly Fox]

I doubt seriously that all of our LU connections at SELA will help much. But I certainly have no problem cheering them on against the 'Jacks.

If these happen, combined with a FAMU loss for good measure, I can only see 7-4 Weber State and CCSU as competition for the last spot.

[Chris Lang]

Even with a loss to SELA, I think SFA still gets in. They'll be 8-3 (7-3 DI) with wins against McNeese and Central Arkansas. That'll be enough.

[Schfourteenteen]

You're probably right, I just couldnt imagine the #3 Southland getting an at-large. My bad.

Is it possible that the stars are aligning for us? As a pessimist even I'm starting to feel better about our chances...

Compared to just 3 days ago, it’s no doubt that things are looking very good.

[Rooster Cogburn]

I still refuse to get my hopes up! 3 games, other dominoes, and a lot of politics lie ahead.

[Sivart]

However we are peaking now, not at the end of the season... Like last year... yeah I know Presby kept us out, however if the Elon game was two weeks earlier...when it was the mad dash for the playoffs then maybe... but i hate "what ifs"
