Any FCS guys looking to get drafted this year?

PJ Hall is a monster.

SLU in the "others receiving votes."

Will winning out get them into the playoffs? (I trust you and Fargobison on these type of questions)

Using the rankings as of today and the Conference leaders here is my projected "national" playoff bracket. This is just a starting place.



North Dakota @ SLO, winner plays @ 1. Sam St
Wagner @ Charleston Southern, winner plays @ 8. JMU

Albany @ Youngstown, winner plays @ 4. NDSU
Stony Brook @ Western, winner plays @ 5. Citadel

UCA @ Villanova, winner plays @ 2. Jax St
USD @ Montana, winner plays @ 7. SDSU

Samford @ Eastern, winner plays @ 3. EWU
Lehigh @ Chattanooga, winner plays @ 6. Richmond

Unfortunately won't be able to make it down to Thibodaux this weekend, but I'll be cheering for the huge upset by the Colonels

Yep. Pulling for the Colonels. Hopefully a good crowd turns out with the Colonels playing better + #1 team coming to town. If they cant win I hope its at least a close game. Geaux Colonels

Read an article today about Coach Lance Guidry's grandfather passing away Monday. Second death in his family in 3 days. Lark Hebert is currently Acting Head Coach for the Cowboys as Guidry is away with family.

Tough season for McNeese just gets tougher. Not the season anyone hoped for.

Last week was the first time McNeese has been shutout at home in a conference game since the mid-1980s (0-0 tie with North Texas).

Alcorn has been put on probation

The coach that got SHSU to the title games left for Georgia Southern, and is now at Tulane.

Their new coach was at Deleware, where he coached Joe Flacco, before moving to SHSU. He's been around awhile, I have to imagine he must just like coaching FCS.
