A meaningful game here and one I'll be watching close. The way the Seawolves have been playing there has to be alot of at-large teams hoping SBU wins.

[JMU2004]

no idea how this is the national game of the week.

Of course there are a gaggle of good games, just mentioned that this is a big one especially if #11GPI Stony Brook should lose and be in the at-large field. It's obvious by the CAA fans here that they have little respect for the Seawolves.

Stony Brook is 2-2 all-time against Liberty, with each team winning twice on its home field. The Flames have handed the Seawolves two of their four Big South losses. Each of the last three games have had conference title implications. In 2009, Stony Brook stunned Liberty, 36-33, to claim a share of the championship. The Flames dealt the Seawolves a 54-28 loss in 2010, but because of a tiebreaker, Coastal Carolina earned the Big South's automatic bid. Last season, SBU held off LU, 41-31, to cap an undefeated conference season. A win over Liberty would give Stony Brook its second straight outright Big South title and an automatic bid to the Division I Football Championship. It's SBU's last Big South game before entering the CAA next year.

• Kyle Essington is only the second quarterback in Big South history with back-to-back seasons of 20 touchdowns. He has 42 TDs against only eight interceptions in 27 games.

• In 10 games this season, Miguel Maysonet has 1,652. He's 177 yards away from breaking into the top 25 all-time for rushing yards in a season. Colgate's Nate Eachus was the most recent player to crack the list, accounting for 1,871 yards in 2010.

• If the season ended today, Essington's passing efficiency of 194.18 would rank fourth all-time in a season in FCS history.

Stony Brook losing to Liberty 7-14 in the 2nd quarter.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I am understanding the tiebreaking system correctly as it is outlined in a 2011 media guide, if Liberty wins and the top 3 finish in a tie, then Coastal would earn the auto-bid for having the most conference road wins. tiebreak procedure (http://www.bigsouthsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=25301&SPID=1985&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=4800&ATCLID=205265327)

[ecasadoSBU]

yes the ****ty autobid tie-breaker would go to Coastal Carolina... the tie-breaker would come down to Road-victories and CCU is 3-0. But I'm hopeful the Brook will come back. Go Seawolves

[Sly Fox]

After CCU got in on a lame tie-breaker rule, the league re-worked it for this season and once again a questionable scenario comes into play. You have to hand it to the Chants for being int he right place at the right time again. Of course, they do have to beat Chuck South next Saturday or the tiebreakers go out the window.
