Don't think JAX St. can compete in the playoffs this year...

UNI lost, and a 7-4 UNI is weaker than either a 7-4 Weber or an 8-3 EWU.

Weber gets in, period. UNI's unexpected loss to an unranked team changes everything.

UNI is out unless EWU or McNeese loses, in which case UNI gets the last spot. Otherwise, both Weber and Eastern Washington get at-large bids.

UNI is OUT, unless EWU loses.

I am very surprised by UNI's collapse this year. Has to be a disappointment from where they were six weeks ago.

I think McNeese is in ahead of UNI even if McNeese loses. Just compare their resume.

McNeese 8-3 (assuming loss): Key Win, ASU
UNI 7-4: Key win, ?????

[Waco Kid]

Looks like Weber St and UNI are fighting it out for the final spot. Weber has 2 FBS loses compared to 1 and they have been winning down the stretch while UNI is limping home.

Who gets a third team in, Big Sky or Gateway?

McNeese is in either way.

[SoCalAg]

GO BSC.....west coast bias!!!!!

Richmond
W&M

McNeese St
S. Dakota St.
E. Washington
Elon
Colgate

I could see Weber St or even FAMU getting that last spot. I think Weber St is a better team than Colgate but I'm not sure the committee looks at it the same way that I do.

[Go...gate]

I think Colgate is now back in the picture.

[paul1978]

I think Weber St has a good shot of getting in. Two close loses to FBS teams have got to mean something.

Weber has the strongest schedule by far of the bubble teams, owns a convincing head-to-head road win over Eastern Washington, #11 in the GPI, and finished the season with two consecutive beat-down wins over top 35 GPI teams Northern Arizona (#23) and Cal Poly (#35).

Colgate and FAMU are not even IN the top 35 of the GPI, have no signature wins, have losses to non-top 35 teams, and exytraordinarily weak schedules.

Weber should be the last team in IMO over Colgate. But mark this down, as unpopular as it may be 6-5 JMU will be one the best teams left out - period. Should not be there at 6-5, but I think they are now one of the best 16 teams in America (unfor abt 15/or 16). FAMU was out of the discussion when they lost 25-0 to mediocre MEAC team last week.

That would be a very good thing.

McNeese is in either way.

Can't make the case for the MVFC getting three teams in.

UNI only played one FBS school, so only one FBS loss, but the Panthers have THREE FCS losses to Weber's two. Today's UNI loss to GPI #40 Illinois State puts them out of the top sixteen.

Next year's expansion will be a very good thing!

Really? If the 17-20 bubble teams were winning today, I would agree. But they were not. UNI, Liberty, and Lafayette all lost should have won games today in what could have been make or break games. Last year, Elon and W&M did the same.

This seems to add some mediocre teams and will just lead to worse teams arguing they should have made the playoffs.

Point well taken, but the results of today's games on the last weekend of the regular season proved almost every prognosticator to be wrong.

A single field goal or fumble out of dozens of close games this season would have tilted the results of the playoff picture.

[09griz]

I think the BSC is gonna get EW and Weber in this year. Weber had a very convincing win, and EW was the shoo in should they win. The onus was on Weber, and I think they proved we deserve a second and third playoff spot.

[UNI Pike]

If the Panthers get in over Weber State, I want to see the picture our AD has of people on the committee. We had our chances. Not meant to be.
