Latest CAA Standings

Recommended Posts

We've benefited from our high early ranking. Stony Brook, with a win over Nova and an OT loss to JMU, is barely receiving votes. Albany doesn't even merit that status even though they beat us thoroughly. This may be the year where so many CAA teams knock each other off that -- if it continues -- only Madison gets in to the playoffs.

It matters where you start. caa will get 4 in. And a caa team (one up north that we hate) will get in with 7 wins, because they only play 11.

There are just so many average and bad teams in the fcs. So many 5 to 7 team wins who have tough games left. If we would have beaten Albany and won out 9-3 would have probably gotten us 7 or 8 seed.

The writer floats the possibility of a 5 loss team getting in from the CAA. I wouldn’t want to pin our hopes on getting in at 7-5 though. We do have a very good road W vs Citadel (who is 6-4, including a win vs Georgia Tech) & decent road wins vs Maine & Stony Brook. Also don’t know how the Florida game, where we held our own in the 1st half, factors in. If Albany makes the playoffs then the L to them at home doesn’t look quite so bad, I suppose. Still, all in all, the thing to do is win these last 2 games, which guarantees us a playoff birth

Its amazing how small the margin of error is.  Bad loss vs Albany at home and an OT loss vs Villanova.  Either one of those are a W and we are looking at a seed in the tournament.  Now we have to win out just to get in. I feel like this team is playing well together and in it for each other, hopefully that pays dividends, gets us in the playoffs and at least 1 win in the post season.

North Dakota can only get to 7 wins if they win out, 11 game schedule (both game are very winnable and at home)  7-4

Sam Houston can only win 7 D1 wins if they win out, as they played a non D1 (both games very winnable and at home) They have the name recognition over us though.  7-4

Southern Ill would need to win out to get to 8 wins  @WIU  W and then home against NDSU. 7-5

Austin Peay and SEMO both have 7 wins and play 2 bottom feeders each.  They will be 9-3 and both in.

Nicholls, McNeese and SELA all have 6 wins.  They play each other so hopefully will knock each other down. SELA plays on 11 due to a cancellation and Nicholls played 2 FBS teams.

Wofford has Fuman and Citadel left and has 6 wins and only plays 11 games. Would be nice for us to have Citadel knock them off.

Albany has UNH and SB left.  Would like for them to lose to UNH and then beat SB.  I think if we both finish 8-4/7-5 they get in over us on the ass kicking they handed earlier this year.

 

It's going to be interesting because there are going to be a lot of 11 game teams with 7-4 records being compared to 7-5 teams.
