Prognosis: CAA pulling a MVFC in beating each other up and out of the playoffs. Richmond vs. JMU will decide who gets the 3rd bid. loser still has long shot at an at large. Delaware has murder row facing them.

Locks: UNH, Villanova,
Should be in: Richmond, JMU
On the bubble: Delaware, William and Mary

MEAC
Bethune-Cookman (8-2, 5-1) Rem: @Hamp, FL A&M
SC State (7-3, 5-1) Rem: @Morg. St, Norf. St.
NC A&T (8-2, 5-1) Rem: @Sv St, NC-C

Prognosis: Gonna be tough. I still say 2 max.

Should be in: B-C, Sc State, NC A&T

MVFC
NDSU (9-1, 5-1) Rem: @MSU, YSU,
Ill. St. (8-1, 5-1) Rem: @USD, SIU
YSU (7-3, 4-2) Rem: ISUb, @NDSU

SDSU MUST WIN OUT TO BE ELIGIBLE Rem: WIU, USD
SIU MUST WIN OUT TO BE ELIGIBLE
MSU ELIMINATED
WIU ELIMINATED
USD ELIMINATED

Prognosis: THIS IS NUTS! I've been a strong believer back when we were 3-3 overall. We had to have these two games to have a legit shot. We did it. Tie for 2nd right now...who would have thunked it? The best case scenario is YSU beats ISUb and we beat SIU. SDSU looks like they'll win out with having the 2 bottom dwellers. They'd finish with 8 total wins, 7 D1. They do own the tiebreak vs us but now our quality wins out perform theres. They'd be left out if we split. ISUb would be on its way out of the playoffs as well.

Reminds me of 2005...we were 4-3 and had to run the table. Moons are aligned baby. 4 losses by a combined 15 points including 2 FBS teams. We can gripe all we want at how crappy our offense is but to have that (4 losses by that much) and still be in conference title and playoff contention has to say something. We win at SIU...which will happen btw. sitting pretty going into the final week...a home BEAR WEEK game.

Locks: NDSU, ISUr,
Should be in: YSU
On the bubble: ISUb, UNI, SDSU

Northeast (NEC)
Bryant (8-1, 4-0) Rem: @SH, Wag
Sacred Heart (8-2, 4-1) Rem: @CCSU, Bry
Wagner ELIMINATED
Duquesne MUST WIN OUT
Cent. Conn. St. ELIMINATED
St. Francis NOT ELIGIBLE
Robert Morris ELIMINATED

Prognosis: Weak conference, Conference Champ gets In.

Ohio Valley
Jacksonville St. (8-1, 6-0) Rem: EIU, @SEMO
EIU (5-5, 5-1) MUST WIN OUT TO BE ELIGIBLE
EKU (8-2, 5-2) Rem: , Murr, @Florida
UT-M ELIMINATED
SEMO ELIMINATED
Tenn St ELIMINATED
Tenn Tc ELIMINATED
Murray St. ELIMINATED
Austin Peay ELIMINATED

Prognosis: Eh…

Locks: EKU, JSU
Should be in: None
Bubble: None

Patriot
Fordham (9-1, 5-0) Rem: GU, @Army
Bucknell (7-2, 3-1) Rem: @HC, Colg
Colgate ELIMINATED
Lafayette ELIMINATED
Lehigh ELIMINATED
Georgetown ELIMINATED
Holy Cross ELIMINATED

Prognosis:

Locks: Fordham
Should be in: none
Bubble: Bucknell

Pioneer League
Jacksonville or San Diego…take your pick. Jacksonville holds tiebreak over San Diego but Jacksonville just surprisingly lost to Marist. Makes things interesting. I don't see two getting in from Pioneer though anything could happen.

Western Carolina ELIMINATED

WAAAAAAYYYYYY too early for this.

Doesn't make sense to waste time when all that matters is us winning.

If we take care of what we need to take care of, everything else will take care of itself.

Re: Talking about Playoffs? What are the odds.

Conference wise...I think ISUb needs to win at least one of the road games @NDSU or @SIU to really have a shot at an at-large. Their resume is good a win over one of those would be icing almost.

YSUs schedule is just too tough.

SIU has the overall toughest schedule left. They play at YSU and MSU. They don't play well at all at MSU. Also gotta end the season at ISUr. They luck out getting ISUb and UNI at home, but both those games will be brutal (at least i hope).

Did you seriously just use a Taylor Swift song to describe your excitement for a football game?

Hacksaw could probably give you the actual odds with one of his voodoo magic spreadsheets.

That's how bored I literally was for those 2.5 hrs it took me to write that post. The song was pretty much just a celebratory thing!

Bump. Updated the listing in first post.

Re: Talking about Playoffs? What are the odds.

UNI is in control of their own destiny, 8-4 theyre in, 7-5 theyre out. It really doesn't get any easier that that.

We will have some on here who talk about how we deserve to be in at 7-5, we don't. We probably wouldn't deserve it at 8-4 but that would give us wins over Illinois State, SIU, and NDSU, that puts us in. Lose one and its over.
