[Mr. C]

Here is a playoff primer from College Sporting News for those wanting to get ready for Saturday's FCS action:

Pretty sure he's got Sacramento State and Weber State in the wrong columns (re: ability to get 7 D-I wins).
Pretty sure he's also completely lost his mind regarding Towson beating New Hampshire, on the road no less.

[UNHFootballAlum]

Wow! He is picking Towson to upset UNH? or is he just saying that UNH will not make the field even with a win tomorrow?

[Jackman]

Jacksonville and non-AQ Liberty making the field ahead of 7-4 UNH would be even more insane, so I assumed he was picking a Towson upset ("any given Saturday...") in order to leave UNH out.

[Wildcat80]

If UNH loses to Towson...I do not want to watch anymore. Hope we demo them.

Yeah, has he seen the tigers play this year? Come'on MAN!!!! They are awful, NO WAY in hell thats going to happen. That game should be well in hand by the 2nd Quarter and UNH's front office should be done printing up playoff tickets. Making them available for purchase, prior to the fans leaving the game.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Did Towson move to the Socon or something?

Don't try to be realistic or anything.

I don't think he is saying that UNH will lose to Towson...I think he is saying that Villanova is going to beat Delaware thus bumping UNH our of the final "at-large" spot. My feelings are that if we win we should be in based on our 4 out of the last 5 games with wins against ranked opponents...

We need to win first then we can wonder...

Considering UNH's wins over other bubble teams, I would be horrified if they weren't in with a win..they've beaten UMass, Villanova, Richmond and JMU, along with playoff bound Lehigh and DISTANT bubble CCSU. Villanova also lost to URI, so they can't even use that trump.

[Mr. C]

There was a typo in the original. New Hampshire is a heavy favorite over Towson. New Hampshire is definitely in with a win.

I thought the 3 team per conference "rule" was broken in 2003 when the Gateway got 4 teams in the play-offs.

[JSU85GRAD]

I think what he is inferring is that UD will lose giving W&M the AQ and that the CAA will not get more than 4 teams in. Also, he isn't saying that is "fair" or that the 20 teams in the field are the "best" 20. Hence the "woofed" reference; meaning that anyone who gets woofed should have been in the field.

[Redhawk2010]

Jacksonville State is not the AQ yet. They still have to play today and there is a chance for Tennessee Tech to beat them. Am I going to expect it? No, but I can hope for it ;) EKU wasn't supposed to beat them either. Tennessee Tech played within 2 points of SEMO earlier this year. SEMO lost by 2 on a last-minute touchdown to JSU. This conference race is not over!

Now You've done it. Everybody KNOWS that the CAA is responsible for ruining the 3 team rule. Why confuse folks with the facts???
