FCS selection committee??? No they are a total scam crew that does not know a thing about FCS football, that's all

[Nor Eastern]

Maybe this year will stop people from pointing out that 6 win teams make bowl games. 6 win teams making the playoffs is absolutely a joke.

[TheRevSFA]

Funny thing is that Furman wasn’t even on the first 3 out list

[uni88]

IMO Furman absolutely should have made it but the irony of them not getting in after all of the lobbying here does tickle the funny bone.

I can feel good about every attempt I have made because I have facts on my side that prove Furman to have the better resume, whatever sorry politics were played to let 3 Southland teams in is just piss poor management by the FCS committee, but its all good I am not surprised how inept they turned out to be at all xthumbsupx

[Gil Dobie]

Incarnate Word 6-2, 2 losses vs playoff teams vs FCS, Furman 6-3 vs FCS, 2 losses vs playoff teams, 1 additional loss. Sounds like that is what they looked at. Doesn't matter who's better, it's the resume that counts.

I am an objective guy. I am :D I can go so far as to say I was suspecting Furman was last in or first few out. But to not be first few out showed me a lack of awareness by the committee. I mean here on AGS Furman was ranked 22nd and then with the 2 IVYs out - Princeton / Dartmouth and NCAT to the bowl that makes Furman 19th in AGS poll for playoffs.

I.E., I feel strongly AGS is the most knowledgable place for FCS and the committee just said our poll wasn't even close on Furman. To say we weren't first three out ??? I wouldn't have said a word if we were first three out. But to have UND and Monmouth above us. Almost NO ONE on AGS put that in the bubble threads or brackeuology yesterday.

Gil, thanks !!! Appreciate your well- reasoned response. I have always worried the committee (ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THEY MENTION THE FREAKIN JOKE OF A COACHES POLL ON YOUTUBE !!!!!) looks too much to w/L and not enough at who you beat etc.

i mean i I could see the committee taking an 8-3 southland over a 6 or 7 win top 5 conference team. Which is a joke.

Its like selecting a 10-1 SUNBELT team in FBS over a 9-2 SEC team. It's ridiculous !!!!!!

I'm just trying to point out to GameBreaker that what he calls facts are really just subjective interpretations of factors. He does it over and over and over and over like mindless repetition makes the argument even stronger. They made for what I thought was a very compelling argument but they were factors not facts.

[Hood]

Well,

At least UIW has a visitor's side of the stadium if something aligns for them to host a game. Lookout for when Houston Baptist gets it together and hosts a playoff game. Maybe they can put some bleachers on top of the CVS.

You want some funny reading just go over to the Hitler youth board. There is much gnashing of the teeth about just about everything from coaches to players to recruits abilities or lack of. You name it. What's even funnier is some think their next head coach will be either of NDSU's offensive or defensive coordinators not to mention Tyler Roehl. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready for some good laughs.

[mvfcfan]

It'd bad enough that we suck most years, but to get hosed by two Southland teams with only 6 D1 wins is just dumb. I wish we would just pack it up and move to the OVC. Obviously being in the MVC doesn't count for anything or help us at all.

yes, ISUbl and Furman got hosed......

If UNI does not win their game (w/Lamar), the howling will continue about 6 win teams.....

[mvfcfan]

What puzzles me the most is that a 9-2 McNeese State team got hosed last season, so this season they decide to let 6 win Southland teams in. Like, what?????

I really don't have an issue with any of the schools in the field except Lamar and IW. I think teams like UND, EKU, Monmouth, and Furman could have all had cases to be in the playoffs over us, but not Lamar and IW.

I’ll tell you how they don’t get in. They sucked against any team with a pulse. And they got killed by UNI last year in the playoffs. UIW>Monmouth. Most would agree.

We have a coach, in these here parts, that says last year's team is last year's team and this year's team is this year's team. I watched last year's killing but that was another team. I agree Monmouth lost to the better teams they played. But they did not avoid playing anyone. Can't say the same for uiw. What was the risk to uiw playoff hopes in a potential loss to North Alabama versus a potential loss to an FBS team at the time the avoidance occurred? So yeah, I'll go with MONMOUTH! I kinda missed not having an opportunity to watch North Alabama and uiw this past Thursday. We won't know who would have won but, that's on uiw.

[lionsrking2]

Congrats to both Lamar and UIW. Lamar improved as much as anyone over the last half of the season and UIW had some big wins and finished as "co-champs." But I'm shocked the league got three teams in as down as it was across the board. Well, I shouldn't say I'm shocked considering the chair of the committee but not sure it was deserved. That said, I think UIW has a decent chance to win at Montana State if they can survive the weather and Nicholls should advance to round 2. I would have taken Lamar over UIW, but they got a tough draw in UNI. Nicholls got a very favorable draw IMO. They could play for a while if they can handle the road trip to Eastern Washington. They'll match up well.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Monmouth did not deserve to be in the playoffs. They beat nobody.

They got boat raced last year and the same thing would have happened this year.

[Gil Dobie]

Committee may have looked at the records. UIW beat 4 teams with winning records, Monmouth 2 teams with winning records, Campbell and Hampton. UIW lost 2 road games to playoff teams. Monmouth lost 1 game at home to a playoff team, really bad loss, 51-14 and lost to the top Ivy on the road, again, really bad, 51-9.

[BEAR]

All I heard over the years on this board is if the SLCs lower level teams got better that the SLC would get more teams in the playoffs.

Last year the SLC had a team that was 9-2 left out because the conference overall was weak.

The lower level teams got better and still the conference has 3 teams in the playoffs.

Nothing much changed but but the names of the teams representing the SLC.

[Derby City Duke]

Isn't the committee head now a SLC guy?


From Central Arkansas...trace his heritage back far enough and he's probably related to Scarano - taking care of where his bread is buttered.

Indiana State got reamed in the interest of inclusiveness. I also think Elon got thrown a bone -- they lost 3 of their last 5 -- because I think the committee figured they'd have beaten William & Mary (cancelled due to hurricane).

He played baseball at Delta State. Is he even allowed to vote for his conference? I honestly think Lamar shoukd have been a favorable bubble team. UIW should have stayed home due to their scheduling.

We didn't get in at 7-4 because we had a horrible loss to Murray and the winning percentage of the games we won was well below .500. Barely beat Robert Morris the previous weekend. Yesterday was the best all around game we played all year.

I've known and worked with Dr. Teague for YEARS. He leans so heavily on the side of NOT changing things that fans complain about it. Zero advertising for the programs, poor game day experiences, etc.. have all been unaddressed for YEARS. No. I'm pretty confident he wouldn't have gone in and made wholesale changes just to get two more teams that didn't deserve to be in the playoffs. That's just not his style of administering things. Now if someone can show me actual evidence that he was the one that motivated it then when he returns to campus I will personally walk to his office and ask him why he's so dang gung-ho for the committee but have failed to do anything of substance to his own university. I also recall a few years ago when UCA was 7-4 he was on the committee and UCA didn't make it. So I don't know how Lamar and IUW made it but I'm confident it wasn't Teague. By the way, all of my posting have said after we found out Nicholls was the AQ that MAYBE Lamar should get a shot at an at large but NOT IUW.

I'm also hearing that the 6 win threshold was changed when the field went to 24 teams.

I would like to know when they changed the polls they look at though. You'd think they'd look at all of them or at least many of them, if they already don't.

I am not a fan of 6 win teams getting in, on its face. But if you dig down and see what is up with a team's w/ls, I could stomach it, but you really need to make a case.

For example, if a team has one or two FBS loses, and they may have been close, and that team also lost to 3 or 4 top 25, 20, or 15 teams and they were all within one score. Something along those lines. Also need to obviously look at the rest of the field. It would be very situational.

You are right but like we talked about earlier, top 25 at the beginning middle and end of the season change. Sometimes those are truly top/semi-top teams that are losing to much improved teams. That is a normal flow of a season and is different than an early top 25 team from the previous season that just isn't anymore. Both of those happen, they are subjective and have to get worked out in the SOS portion of the weighing

That is exactly how I saw the SL Conference. I expected the winner of the Lamar - McNeese matchup to get a playoff slot and I planned to keep the winner ranked on AGS. To be fair, IWU was below my radar due to the fact they would have only 6 wins at the end of regular season play. after getting a reasonable explanation of their strengths this season from a SHSU poster to AGS, I looked at their schedule, and success against some off the perennial strong SL teams, I could see an argument. However, I felt they fell short when compared to a 7-4 Indiana State. When you see as much turnover at the top of a conference in one season as we saw this year in SL Conf., it's hard to assess the cause. It could be that the conference is stronger, but the only thing we can know for sure is that there is more parity. A nine game conference schedule helps sort out which team is best in the conference, but it is detrimental to measuring the relative strength of the conference to the rest of the subdivision. For instance, Lamar and ICW played zero OOC FCS games this season.

Unfortunately, innuendo and wild-ass speculation about the selection committee is an annual occurrence this time of year, not only on AGS, but coming out of the mouths of a few coaches now-a-days. Nobody knows this better than a UNH fan. Over the previous five seasons UNH had a 8-5 win/loss playoff record. Yet every year, except 2014 when we they went undefeated in regular season FCS play, there was endless accusations that we got in with a 7-4 record only because our AD was on the committee. It's unfortunate that Dr Teague has to deal with the same. I felt he could have done a more thorough job explaining the decision-making process when interviewed on the selection show, but I guess that might just create more conspiracy theories.

SOS is a little objective, but even that has some subjectivity in regard to the algorithm used. Also, I will say this, the one thing I hate people saying is such and such team have a good history in the playoffs so that is in their favor. Drives me up the wall. This is this year, not last year or the last few years. ALL OF THAT HISTORY IS IRRELEVANT. What they did this year is all that matters. That goes as well after about the third or fourth week in regard to polls. People hang on to last years good teams entirely too long when voting.

Indiana St
Monmouth
UND
UND ???? UND didn't have to play 3 of the top 4 Big Sky teams this year .. that is a weak 6-5 record. In fact, 5 of their 6 wins came against the 6 worst Big Sky teams. They lost to 5 of the 6 toughest teams on their schedule .. their only decent win being over 6-5 Montana.

Monmouth ??? Monmouth was 8-3 against 83rd ranked SOS. Their best win was over 5-5 Chuck U. They scored some points, but gave up a lot against a very weak SOS. Sounds like a year ago .. how'd that work out for them ?

IMO ... ISUb was most screwed. Furman was probably 2nd most screwed.

Lamar was worst pick, followed by IW/ETSU. Put these 3 teams in MVFC ... then subtract 2 or 3 wins against that schedule .. that is what would happen.

For a little perspective, the Sagarin gap between the MVFC-Southland is basically the same as the SEC-MWC. So each of those conferences would get the same number of teams in a playoff field? It’s absolutely absurd.

SEC Top 3: Alabama, Georgia, LSU
MWC Top 3: Boise, Utah St, Fresno

The FCS Playoff committee is a sham, no other way to look at it. Every year the FCS committee does things that would be unthinkable at the FBS Level. The FCS committee would have UCF/Alabama at the same level, no difference, wouldn’t blink an eye.

Actually, that statement won’t change. I’m not going to change my opinion on the conference because of one bad or one good day. Thats f*****g stupid.

The fact that the SLC had a down year and got three teams in bodes well for this conference. A 6-4 UIW is now valued over a 6-4 Furman or a bubble MVFC team.

So it doesn’t matter if we go 3-0 or 0-3.

So it doesn’t matter if we go 3-0 or 0-3.I have 2 different opinions than you on this.

First, how you perform does matter. If the Southland ****s the bed and goes 0-3, it would definitely indicate they didn't deserve 3 teams in.

Second, this year the Southland did get 3 in and beat out a MVFC bubble team but I believe if point one above happens and you go 0-3, the committee won't be as generous. In other words, much like you say you won't judge based on one game, I'm not ready to judge the conference "prowess" based on one year. If the Southland gets 3 in next year, then I'll start to believe it is moving up as a conference.

Again, just how I see it which is obviously in contrast to your opinion!

Our chance to prove something? Laughing stock? Sham? Not sure what you mean. Sam Houston has represented the Southland in the playoffs pretty well for the last 7-8 years. Furman has bee Missing In Action. You need to take a chill pill and realize that even if Furman had gotten in, they would likely have been slapped around in the first round anyway. It's actually why we play the games. Oh, that's right, you don't get to play any more games...

That's not how it works. Using your example, the committee would be saying they think the MWC teams are better than Kentucky, the next team under consideration for the SEC. Are they or aren't they? I don't know - don't follow FBS that closely. But the point is that the three SLC teams are not being compared to NDSU. They are being compared to ISUb (who I agree has a good argument).

[katss07]

I hate Lamar. They have an annoying group of people who love to troll other SLC fans after they beat them. Plus the program is just all around...tough to cheer for. I want to see them win but I honestly don’t really care. UNI can do their worst.

A win would be fine though and would look great for the SLC.

This isn't bad football, though. I never understand why people complain about this, especially with how minimal inter-conference play we usually have at the start of the season. This is 8 non-conference games among teams with all above .500 records. At the very least, it's intriguing to see how teams perform against teams they're not used to.

Are the defenses that good or the offenses that bad? Don't bother to answer I already know the answer but I don't think you'll agree if you think this i good football.

Now that we have some serious facts instead of opinion, for everyone who questioned the 3 Southland teams, I really wonder if they are now questioning the CAA picks. I will admit a couple of those took me flatfooted. The IW loss was not as bad as some thought regardless of score. It was a close game for a long time. Nicholls is doing what I thought. Lamar is hanging in just fine, still in progress, and shows they at least belonged, even if others might have belonged as well. In other words, they were not necessarily horrible picks. On the other hand, anyone want to talk about Stony Brook...Towson...Elon...? Elon probably belonged, but I know a lot of folks questioned both Stony Brook and Towson in the Poll threads. CAA 0-3 on the day (you can disregard the JMU/Del game as a record wash, or if not, 1-4).

Maybe we can pull out Massey or Sagarin to back up the ridiculous predictions or justifications made by some.xsmhx (to be read with utter and complete sarcasm)

I absolutely love it when the "know it alls" spout off about how bad the playoff selections were, and then karma comes to visit. Too funny for words.

Lame-ar already falling apart against 6-5 UNI, game tied at half, lol

Dude, if you think falling apart equates to a halftime tie with UNI, I have no words....none. Give it a rest.

[Daytripper]

Now that we have some serious facts instead of opinion, for everyone who questioned the 3 Southland teams, I really wonder if they are now questioning the CAA picks. I will admit a couple of those took me flatfooted. The IW loss was not as bad as some thought regardless of score. It was a close game for a long time. Nicholls is doing what I thought. Lamar is hanging in just fine, still in progress, and shows they at least belonged, even if others might have belonged as well. In other words, they were not necessarily horrible picks.

This. I never really completely bought in to Massey or Sagarin... but I definitely won't in the future.

[cx500d]

What's the score of the Furman game? Oh, right... Furman Sucks.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Daytripper again.

[ElCid]

This. I never really completely bought in to Massey or Sagarin... but I definitely won't in the future.

They are not bad, and sometimes they nail it. They have about a 73% success picking winners. But the key is they are waaaay more successful at picking where the teams are linked together well (i.e., conference matchups) because there is so much history there. Once you go outside the conference games, their success rate drops off. You can really see this when the Ivys play someone else, other than the Patriot. Or when the MVFC plays someone else other than the Big Sky. Conferences get insulated somewhat. In the MVFC, it is NDSU that is anchoring them primarily. Not to say that they don't have a good conf, but it gets inflated somewhat due to the Bison affect. The Ivy is by far the most inflated due to isolation.

Nice job FUGamebreaker. Your incessant whining has gotten the committee to change their mind and put Furman in the playoffs.

Oh, wait, no. It has simply made everyone else so sick of your bull**** that they are glad Furman didn't make the playoffs and is giving Furman a bad reputation. Congratulations. I'll bet the other Furman fans appreciate it.

This just in....Lamar lost by three points to UNI. In a related story, they still don't suck as bad as Furman, who didn't even make the playoffs.

[POD Knows]

The SLC showed up to play today, the CAA didn't and neither did UNI.

Newsflash!

Furman fans, your complaints have been heard. ESPN's added Furman coverage to their FCS Football playoff coverage. You can watch the Paladins, here:

xlolxDude you are making yourself and your school look so bad. xcoffeexIf Lamar losing by 3 was a bad showing, Nicholls winning by multiple TDs a bad showing, and an UIW team with a backup QB making a game of it for 3 and a half quarters a bad showing"........then Furman NOT even making really does mean that Furman sucks. So yeah, let's go with YOUR reasoning. xthumbsupxxlolx

You know that the Psychologists have a technical term for your post, right?

It's called PROJECTION. You're mad because FURMAN sucks, but rather than be mad at Furman, you're displacing your anger at the three Southland teams who were better than Furman.

The good news is that the more you talk about it, the closer you are to healing.

[Bearkats94]

He is just mad his mother locked him in the basement because she can stand all the crying he is doing because his team is sitting at home. One day in the far future when his team has made the playoffs she will let him out. The funny thing is his team only won two games all season and he is crying the SLC had three teams in the playoffs. I wonder how many field goals Furman missed this season ranked 84th in the FCS. By that I don't think he has any room to talk.

[katss07]

Lamar is better than Furman. He’s mad about that. Only facts!

[Bearkats94]

Huntsville High School is better than Furman. xlolx

It was a good showing for the SLC, OVC, and SoCon. Lamar missed two field goals and turned it over twice in the RZ or they beat UNI on the road. UIW stayed with the J Cats for quite awhile despite being down a starting QB. ETSU hanged with JSU and looked like a legit playoff team when I didn't think they were.
