Coastal Carolina goes down to Liberty

[UNI92]

Game over...Pretty good game to watch. Not sure if I'm sold on Coastal Carolina being ranked #4. Would have no problem being in their bracket

Isn't that their 2nd loss?

Re: Coastal Carolina goes down to Liberty

They also lost to Charleston Southern, who ran the table in the conference. May earn a low seed - although CSU is playing Alabama this weekend.

Pretty frustrating watching these other teams play soft schedules, get credit for it and then watch Valley teams being routed through each other b/c of regionalization! Shame UNI lost to WIU, they would have a case for a seed. Gotta still take care of business on Saturday!

Yeah, I thought they had dropped another. That should be more than enough to drop them out of the seeding depending on how others do. Then again there has been a lot more shuffling and a lot fewer "clear-cut" seeds as in the past. They certainly don't deserve a seed in my opinion.

you sound like an SEC homer.

Well...take a look at Coastal's schedule for 2015. You won't find an NDSU or Illinois State on that schedule...or anything close.

Regular Season
@ FUR W 38-35
@ SCST W 41-14
vs WIU W 34-27
vs BRY W 31-17
vs AAMU W 55-0
vs PRE W 24-17
@ MONM W 23-20
@ CHSO L 33-25
vs WEBB W 46-0
vs KENN W 45-13
@ LIB L 24-21

2 wins against teams with a winning record and a win against Western Illinois. Some props for beating the 'Necks, but for being a previously #4 ranked team, no one in the country fears them.

Looking at those abbreviations, I couldn't tell you who half the teams on that schedule even are.

I'll give their schedule a shot without looking anyone up:
Furman
South Carolina State
Western Illinois
Bryant
AAMU = No frickin' clue
Presbyterian
Monmouth of NJ I presume, not IL
Charleston Southern
Gardner-Webb?
Kennesaw State
Liberty

I looked up AAMU. Alabama A&M. Duh. Anyway, pretty soft schedule.

It's been awhile since the MVFC gave UNI a schedule that weak

Add a few teams. Make divisions. It could happen. Just ask the EIU in Iowa City.

except most likely, UNI would be in the "western division" with NDSU and SDSU, which would be similar to the "eastern division" of the Big Ten, with Ohio State, Michigan, MSU, etc.

Divisions in the FCS are dumb. No championship game is allowed if you want to participate in the playoffs. It would create and extremely unbalanced schedule, even more so than it is now.

SUU won the Big Sky autobid but didn't play Montana, North Dakota, or Eastern Washington. The beat one playoff team in conference games - Portland State - and lost. They got beat by South Dakota State 55-10. After those games they beat Weber State (sub .500), Sac State (sub .500), UC Davis (sub .500) Cal Poly (sub .500), Montana State (sub .500) NAU (6-5 I believe)
