Tiger93 Posted October 31, 2024 Report Posted October 31, 2024 This also seems to be one of the primary tools the NCAA is using this year for the FCS seedings. We are No. 36 this week. https://masseyratings.com/cf/fcs/ratings Quote

The Big Sky, CAA and Missouri Valley usually claim the most bids to the FCS playoffs (last year, they had a combined 11 of the 14 at-large bids in addition to their automatic qualifier). It would hard for the selection committee to ignore any 8-4 team from those conferences. Here are two 4-4 teams that understandably are under the radar for at-large discussion, but have a chance to get there with a 4-0 November: Big Sky member Northern Arizona (four sub-.500 opponents that are a combined 8-23, starting Saturday at home against Weber State) and CAA member Towson (its toughest remaining game is at No. 16 Richmond on Saturday). Big sky and MVC are much better conferences. And since the caa added 200 new teams those leagues are better top to bottom now Quote
Tiger93 Posted October 31, 2024 Report Posted October 31, 2024 I know that is true. I am just pulling what Opta put in their article. Quote

I say yes It's the leagues rule. Most likely due to missing class time. (a big reason there was never an Ivy League Conf Tourney for basketball, until recently). Reduces at large field by 1 (or more), but helps the CAA a bit while hurting the Big Sky/MVC. Quote

I say yes It would definitely make the FCS playoffs more interesting if the Ivy League and SWAC/MEAC competed in the tournament. I don't know if it would do much for the quality, but the schools from those conferences just have more tradition and make the sports more interesting in general. Quote
