Again, thanks for the information! I think you can remove Montana, SIU and Appalachian State from the at large list, since they have all clinched their conference's auto-bids. There may be other teams who have already clinched, but I'm not positive off hand.

[SumItUp]

While this has been an at-large qualification/elimination overview list all season, I did not want to remove the teams that have AQ'd by winning their conference title. At this point in the season, most participants on AGS know who the potential playoff teams are. This list will serve as more of a reference for next year to look at how this 2009 finished. I thought it was very interesting that there are 22 teams that have qualified, 7 that need to win next week to qualify, 1 ineligible team (Jacksonville State) that has 7 D1 wins and 1 ineligible team (Chattanooga) that needs to win next week to reach 7 D1 wins. That is a maximum of 31 teams that could reach 7 D1 wins. I can't find the information from last year, but I think there were 32 or 33 teams that reached 7 D1 wins. It will definitely be less teams this year.

Montana State is a win and their in, lose and their out. If they win and EWU loses then they win the AQ for the Big Sky with wins over Weber and Montana.

EWU may have shot at qualifying for the playoffs with a win this coming week. Should be interesting.

Wrong, the Cats have two conference losses, the Griz have already won the AQ for the BSC...

The Big Sky certainly holds a lot of cards for this final week that will have major playoff implications.

just remembered.. doesn't matter if they don't win.
