Stony Brook lands a seed IMO

[melloware13]

#9 Stony Brook @ Maine
- Stays close, Seawolves close out to make strong case for a low seed. Maine next year doesn't have a schedule that will knock them out from the start at least.
#1 James Madison @ #12 Elon
- Dukes wrap up title a month after we could have, to quote D. Green "crowned their a**". Phoenix don't sleep well on bubble.
#20 New Hampshire @ Albany
- Wildcats find a way again, I'd put money down that a CCSU @ UNH first round game will happen. Danes enter long offseason after 7 game slide.
#19 Delaware @ Villanova
- I was tempted to pick Nova and hope to be wrong, but they're just bad. JP Caruso/Joe Walker combo pull off achievement that Joe Flacco, Pat Devlin, and Trent Hurley all couldn't with win.
Rhode Island @ Towson
- Two of the hotter teams in the CAA right now, home field helps Tigers escape Rams.
William & Mary @ Richmond
- Tribe takes advantage of Spider frustrations to pull upset.

[DRDukes01]

Stony Brook @ Maine - SB closes out a strong CAA performance and earns the 7/8 seed

James Madison @ Elon - Could be a trap game for the Dukes coming off the high of the Richmond rivalry game last week and with an eye on the #1 seed, but HCMH will have them ready to play and take care of business.

New Hampshire @ Albany - finishes strong to make the case they deserve to be in the playoffs for the 999th straight year

Delaware @ Villanova - As much as I would like to see Nova smack down the Blue chickens and keep them out of the playoffs, I don't think they have enough O.

Rhode Island @ Towson - I picked against Rhody most of the year, so might as well try them one time.

William & Mary @ Richmond- Ticks rebound to send Lauletta off with a win. Big question is, is this Laycock's last game on the W&M sidelines?!?

[UNH72Plus]

SBU - Just to strong for the Black Bears
JMU - It's JMU
UNH - Nothing easy in this one, but the Cats survive
DEL - Delaware's defense keeps them in the running for a play-off spot
URI - Toss up but I think URI has the edge
Richmond - W&M just doesn't have it this year

[KPSUL]

Stony Brook 21 @ Maine 20: Seawolves struggle in Orono without Ray Bolden
James Madison 27 @ Elon 17: The phoenix settles back a bit towards the ashes
New Hampshire 31 @ Albany 24: Never easy on Ford Field at Casey Stadium, (or is that Casey field at Ford Stadium?)
Delaware 14 @ Villanova 6: Nova, No va bien
Rhode Island 24 @ Towson 25: The Super Bowl of CAA respectability
William & Mary 13 @ Richmond 31: Jimmye: “well, we didn’t play bad”

If Stony Brook wins. Do we get a seed? What do you guys think?

[jmufan999]

If Stony Brook wins. Do we get a seed? Why do you guys think?

probably going to depend on what happens around the country. you'll sweat it out on Selection Sunday as far as whether you're seeded.

I think so, there is a good chance someone ahead of you might lose. Wofford will likely lose to South Carolina, although that might not effect them.

what happened to Bolden?
I said after Delaware beat Stony at their Long Island Pebble Beach that if we had a efficient Carbone type at QB and a talented WR like Bolden the Hens would be a national title contender with our knock down D!

[iBOsbu]

whart happened to Bolden?

Bolden had a concussion... he was knocked out after a helmet to helmet collision...and was sent to hospital.. didn’t return to the game.

He is ok though and was cleared yesterday for the Maine game.

Our rushing leader Bedell also left the game after first play due to some injury. Don’t know the detail. Hope he is fine too.

good to hear he wasn't seriously injured and don't look around any dark corners around Orono, Stephen King might be lurking....

[Gangtackle11]

Stony Brook 24 @ Maine 7 - Wolves hoping for a playoff seed. Maine hoping for a short winter.
JMU 27 Elon 14 - The playoffs will go through Harrisonburg in the East.
UNH 23 @ Albany 14 - Great Danes have been muzzled lately.
Delaware 7 @ Villanova 10 - call me a hopeless romantic. I bet the Titanic wouldn’t sink.
Rhode Island 20 @ Towson 24 - a battle of 2 teams that didn’t pack it in.
Richmond 38 @ W&M 28 - Lauletta goes out with a big game.

We haven't surrendered more than 14 all season, including trash time scores. You may want to adjust that 17. If they get 17, we're probably in the 40s by that point.

For that to happen, it meant that Illinois State upset NDSU and the committee dropped them to the 4 seed.

Our defense played really well for being on the field all game, besides that broken play for a TD. UNH should fire their OC and chew out the entire offense, ****ing pathetic effort by them.
