    I can't believe that I am going to say this...
    With a win on Saturday, I think we have a better than 50-50 chance of getting in. It is a weird year in I-AA, they are probably going to have to take two 7-4 teams. We have the strongest profile among those 7-4 teams. I really do not think that the UND loss will figure in the decision. We will finish second in the Gateway and have a 2-1 record against the other playoff teams in the league.

    If we somehow get in, I think a run is possible...

      Mathematically yes!

      For Real, NO!

        Panthers’ coach Mark Farley rated his chances “50-50. There are going to be some teams with four losses that get into the playoffs this season.”

            Some weird things are happening...
            Delaware State gets beat by Howard (8-3, but probably not getting in)
            James Madison BLOWS OUT Towson (7-4, but probably not getting in)
            New Hampshire wins, and probably gets them in
            Tennessee State gets beat, and EIU is getting beat at home...looks like only 1 from the OVC is getting in.
            Coastal Carolina is struggling with Charleston Southern, if they lose, I don't see them getting in.

            I don't know, but things are taking eery turns.
            The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

              Looks like Coastal Carolina will win that one. (31-17 with 7:30 left in the 4th)
              EIU is trailing by 10 (14-24) w/ 2:54 in the 3rd. t'would be nice if Jacksonville St. can hang on.

                San Diego

                Those of you thinking San Diego will get in are idiots. They are the equivalent of intramural football due to no scholarships & don't even play scholarship teams. Having said that, the committee has always been made up of a bunch of idiots so I wouldn't be surprised. If they get it...the playoffs have zero credibility.

                  The playoff outlook has been updated. Check it out on the top of page one.

                  My best guesstimate are that there are 2 spots remaining for these teams (just the ones that are eligible):

                  Towson (7-4)
                  Montana State (7-4)
                  Portland State (7-4)---all D1 schedule (two losses to 1-A, one win via 1-A)
                  Northern Iowa (7-4)
                  Delaware State (8-3)
                  Florida A&M (6-4)
                  South Carolina State (7-4)
                  Eastern Illinois (8-4)---will play a 12 game schedule this year
                  Holy Cross (7-4)---7 D1 wins make them playoff eligible
                  Wofford (7-4)
                  San Diego (10-0)


                  How many have won 2 games against the top 10? How many teams have won games against 'seeded teams' (YSU will be a seed)? And how many actually came close to winning their 1-A game?

                  1 (UNI), 1 (UNI), 3 (Montana State beat Colorado, Portland St. beat New Mexico, and UNI lost by 1)
                  The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                    SDSU is beating NDSU...that would prove to be HUGE for our playoff hopes!!!
