Lamar, Georgia State '10 - Does Not Count Towards Div I Win Total

[TexasTerror]

FYI -

Received word today that Lamar does not count towards the seven Division I games typically needed to earn an at-large spot in the playoffs.

With this in mind, must assume the same for Georgia State.

We had been batting this back and forth prior to the season and that's the answer that I received from SHSU when asking about the subject.

As we all know - South Alabama is 'unclassified' this year and does not count either.

At this point in Lamar's season does it really matter?

It matters for SHSU. We have to post an 8-3 mark...

Could matter for SFA if you guys begin to lose a few games over the next few weeks...

TT, can you back this up with source, etc.? Just curious.

We're classified as reclassifying/provisional this year so TT would be right.

Does a win against ODU count?

ODU is year #2 - so they are a different commodity.

Rec'd confirmation from SHSU when I sent an inquiry into it, now that SHSU could potentially play itself into a playoff bid.

Yes. ODU counts.

Lamar, Georgia State and South Alabama do not.

[glsjunior]

Yes. ODU counts.

Lamar, Georgia State and South Alabama do not.

You probably wouldn't get it anyway.

"For a four-year period beginning August 9, 2007, no institution may begin the Division I provisional or reclassification membership process (including the exploratory process), no institution may begin the multidivisional membership reclassification process, no institution shall be permitted to seek classification or reclassification in the Football Championship Subdivision, and no new single-sport or multisport conference shall be elected to Division I conference membership. (Revised: 8/9/07, 11/1/07)"

Old Dominion was provided a waiver due to its planning in advance of the moratorium, the others did not receive such consideration.

Thank You!

I knew someone had access to the answer somewhere.

Also matters to McNeese who is now not eligbile for an at large bid with their loss to LSU on Sat.

[caribbeanhen]

Yes. ODU counts.

Lamar, Georgia State and South Alabama do not.

What we dont know is just how good is USA this year? I think you should drop the second MEAC team and pick them up xnodx
