Cal Poly and Furman are both excellent teams for an at-large bid. I definitely respect both teams more this week even with Furman's 40-7 loss to App State. Here's the thing though.

Cal Poly has 5 D-I wins. It has Montana, North Dakota State, and Savannah State left. In other words, Cal Poly needs to beat either Montana or North Dakota State to make the playoffs.:eyebrow: :eyebrow:

Furman is 6-3. However, one win is against West Georgia. Therefore, Furman has 5 D-I wins. Furman has Elon and Georgia Southern left. Furman must win BOTH in order to make the playoffs.:confused: :eyebrow:

Did not realize either or....... but it sure looks like Cal Poly and Furman have a very tough road ahead.........

For Cal-Poly: You will have to face two Top 5 teams in Montana and NDSU.

For Furman: Elon isn't that tough, but Geo Southern will give a team all they can handle, just ask Appy State......

It be a shame if each team is held out of the playoffs..

Who knows...if both miss out, then the Gateway may get FOUR teams into the playoffs.

LOL give it a week before we say 4 teams. There is 1 scenario which could easily happen in which UNI-WKU-SIU all miss out on the playoffs....

No matter what, WKU or UNI will not make the playoffs for sure, each have 3 losses and 1 more will eliminate their remaining hopes...

Elon on the road and GSU at home.
It may sound crazy but the first one worries more than the last one.

There is a big difference between playing Georgia Southern at home and getting them on the road. Furman usually plays quite well at home and has a lot more offensive firepower than Georgia Southern does.

Hey, at least ya got a shot. Sucks for those I-A'ers...anything can happen in I-AA. I predict with a healthy Felton back Furman goes to at least the quarters...

Dude, I hope you are right! If we can get Felton and Gray firing on all cylinders, I think we can make a good showing.

Can I borrow that gorilla suit for the first couple of rounds?xlolx :cool: ;)
