Is it now safe to say that the said AQs will only be settled on the last weekend of the regular season?

I believe that they will all play on the first playoff Saturday when the matchups are set.

The NEC AQ will in all likelihood be determined a week earlier on Nov. 11, before the Big South and Patriot determines their AQ. Assuming, CCSU beats Saint Francis at home next week (Duquesne is at Liberty in a non-conference game), then the NEC AQ will be determined by the CCSU-DU game at Rooney Field.

Yes, all three AQ teams will have first round matchups in the playoffs.

why would big south #2 not get a bid if they are 9-2?

Because they don't have any quality wins.

[Go...gate]

IMO, the Patriot is Lehigh's to lose. They beat us fair and square at our place.

[WestCoastAggie]

Because they don't have any quality wins.

AGS' definition of "Quality Wins" doesn't always equate to the Selection Committee's definition. They could be another 2012 Lehigh leave out at 9-2 but I doubt it.
