TuTigers2012 1,061 Report post Posted November 12, 2018 A win at home and we are in. A loss makes it a little more complicated, but the results this past weekend really helped our case. There are scenarios where we can win a share of the CAA Title (meaningless for playoffs as we have seen in the past) , but cannot win it outright. Below is my analysis of the the field. Big Sky: Auto Bid (Weber) 2 at Large Locks: UC Davis, EWU Bubble: 2 MSU, Montana (both 6-4 and play each other, winner on bubble, loser is out), Idaho State (plays Weber, Go Weber!) Big South Auto Bid (Kennesaw) Soft Bubble 1 : Monmouth 7-3--Unlikely Independents: Bubbles 1 : UND 6-5 @ Northern Arizona (Go Lumberjacks!) MEAC: No Auto Bid (winner goes to Celebration Bowl) Bubble 1: NC A&T. 8-2 @ NC Central. (win puts them in if F A&M also wins and they go to the bowl) Go NCCU and Bethune Coomkman! MVFC: Auto Bid (NDSU) At Large Lock 1: SDSU Bubbles 4 : WIU 5-5, Indiana State 6-4 (WIU and ISU play eachother, winner is in loser probably out) , UNI 5-5 (bad losses and 1 good win, but have history) vs. Missouri State , Ill State 5-5 @ YSU, have lost 4 straight but have an FBS win and history. NEC: Auto Bid (either Duquense, SHU or CCSU) At Large/Bubbles: 0 OVC: Auto Bid (Jacksonville State) At Large Locks: 1, SEMO (7-3 @ EIU) Go EIU! Bubble: 1 EKU 3 game winning streak 6-4 @ TN Tech) Patriot: Auto Bid (Colgate) At Large/Bubbles: 0 Pioneer: Auto Bid (San Diego) At Large/Bubbles: 0 Southern: Auto Bid (ETSU) At Large Locks: 1, Wofford Bubbles: 2, Chattanooga (6-4 @ South Carolina) Furman (5-4 @ Mercer. only 10 games--Postponed against Colgate due to Hurricane) Southland: Auto Bid (Nicholls) At Large Locks: 0 Bubbles: 2, Incarnate Word (6-4 @ North Alabama and Iowa State 12/1..I think they cancel this if it means playoffs, ISU already has 6 wins) McNeese (6-4- Vs Lamar) CAA: Auto Bid (Maine) At Large Locks: 2, JMU, Delaware (History and Money, Enough Said) Bubbles: 3, Towson (7-3 vs. JMU) , Stony Brook (7-3 @ Albany), Elon (6-3 vs Maine, lost a game vs WM due to Hurricane) So we have 24 spots 10 Auto Bids= 14 spots left 7 Locks = 7 spots left 15 Bubbles/1 Super Soft Bubble 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TSU88 1,070 Report post Posted November 12, 2018 Good research on the national outlook. No-brainer that we’re in with a W Saturday. I subscribe to the belief however that we’ll get in even if we lose. But you never know, so let’s just win the damn game Saturday!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tualum 108 Report post Posted November 12, 2018 If we lay an egg and lose in spectacular fashion we are out. A respectable loss or win gets us in with help from Flacco name and play this year.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also forgot to put UNH on the bubble, but without Marty on the committee, they are done (maybe) 😏☹️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming Maine wins they will get a seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blounge 520 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Any chance we get a home playoff game with a win on saturday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSU88 1,070 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 If we win Saturday, I’d say we’d have a strong case for a bye, with W’s over SB, Elon & JMU. It’s a shame Villanova has had a down year. Our W over them has lost some luster. If we don’t win Saturday, then the threshold issue is do we even get in. If we do, the next question is do we get a home game or do we get shipped out for a road game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoldCrotchPiece 87 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Also - the question comes how much do/would/should we bid? TL and the current administration are pretty light on the marketing/growth side. I doubt they push hard to get the home game without a seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
