And there is a new Number 1. I think they got it wrong on two parts. The team that should be 1 is either ranked 2nd or 4th. UNI moved up big as they upset the Bison in the Dome. As always will bold the two leagues that I always do. I will asterisk the teams already clinched playoff spot and italicize the ineligible teams


1. New Hampshire Wildcats (70)
2. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (55)
3. Jacksonville State Gamecocks (13)
4. North Dakota State Bison (19)
5. Eastern Washington Eagles
6. Villanova Wildcats
7. **Fordham Rams**
8. Illinois State Redbirds
9. **Chattanooga Mocs**
10. Southeastern Louisiana Lions
11. Northern Iowa Panthers
12. Montana State Bobcats
13. McNeese State Cowboys
14. Richmond Spiders
15. Youngstown State Penguins
16. Montana Grizzlies
17. Harvard Crimson
18. Eastern Kentucky Colonels
19. South Dakota State Jackrabbits
20. Bethune-Cookman Wildcats
21. Bryant Bulldogs
22. Northern Arizona Lumberjacks
23. Indiana State Sycamores
24. William & Mary Tribe
25. James Madison Dukes

Here are the playoff predictions as well.
They have NDSU as the top seed as they should. Again they look to water down the field to put 3 teams in one part of bracket that can go far. Also if EIU beats Jacksonville St this weekend, the Panthers are the auto bid from the OVC. Here is a quote from the TSN about McNeese.

Disclaimer: I did not say or think this, this is the respect the SLC gets.

quote:

McNeese State really isn't a playoff-worthy team. Oh, they can still get to 8-3 and make the 24-team field, but the Cowboys' ranking - which was up to No. 6 last week - has lived off a close loss to Nebraska to open their season. None of the Cowboys' six wins is against a team with a winning record.






Eastern Kentucky/Montana winner at No. 1 seed North Dakota State

Jacksonville/Richmond winner at No. 8 seed Chattanooga

Cal Poly/Southeastern Louisiana winner at No. 5 seed Eastern Washington

Sam Houston State/Northern Iowa winner at No. 4 seed Illinois State
The annual lets screw over the MVC and SLC matchups.

Bethune-Cookman/Liberty winner at No. 3 seed Coastal Carolina

Fordham/South Carolina State winner at No. 6 seed Jacksonville State

Northern Arizona/South Dakota State winner at No. 7 seed Villanova

Bryant/Youngstown State winner at No. 2 seed New Hampshire

On the at-large bubble: Idaho State, Indiana State, James Madison, Montana State, North Carolina A&T, Stephen F. Austin

Do not want UNI again as an ISU fan. Don't agree with NDSU falling 3 spots either. Happy with 8 for ISU.

I get why since they lost 23-3. But I agree with you, they should be 1 or 2. Crazy things happen in the UNI Dome. I despise that place, not as much as Charleston or Macomb, but still. I still think Coastal and UNH should be swapped.

4 North Dakota State
5 Eastern Washington
6 Villanova
7 Illinois State
8 Fordham
9 Chattanooga
10 Southeastern Louisiana
11 McNeese State
12 Northern Iowa
13 Montana State
14 Richmond
15 Montana
16 Youngstown State
17 Harvard
18 Bethune-Cookman
19 South Dakota State
20 Eastern Kentucky
21 Bryant
22 Southern Illinois
23 William & Mary
24 Stephen F. Austin
25 Indiana State

Illinois State should be above Fordham. 4 top 25 wins vs none. If Fordham beats Army next week then they should be ahead.

Slu loses to mcnesse and beats Nicholls. Should be in correct?
And I think Slu gets a top 8 seed if they win out

Still waiting to hear news on bennett. X Rays on foot were negative I believe but don't know much more than that.

SLU is out of top 8 I believe, they are not going to jump 4 spots to get a top 8, again my opinion. The top have been very solid all year, with exception of ISU and Fordham. They are going to reward one of those two, as they should. But as soon as I say that, they are going to bunch up the SLC MVC together so it really is not a reward.

Where is McNeese in the playoff scenario? How can they be 11 or 13 and not even on the bubble?

McNeese is absolutely decimated by injuries and if they win another game this uear, I'd be surprised

score prediction on Saturday? If Bennett is out we are screwed. If not, then I think we win a close one.

Who is SLU jumping over?

I just do not see them top 8 after last weekend. Now if Eastern beats Jax St. then the will move to top 8.

The Valley gets 2 seeds
EWU
Nova
Coastal
UNH

Now you have 4 for 2 with Chattanooga Fordham already winning conference and Jax St been top 8 all year.

Not making it. Outside of them being destroyed by injuries, I have other things I need to take care of since I've started a new job.

Fordham will not get a top 8 seed. Only chance they had was to go undefeated vs a very weak schedule. Not only did they not go undefeated but were blown out by Villanova in their only loss. Southeastern would get a seed over them if they win out ... would likely get one over UTC as well.

They will reward Fordham or UTC. And again if Jax St wins they'll be a seed.

The best thing for SLU is to be around 10 get away from NDSU side of bracket

The way I see it

NDSU
Coastal
Unh
Jax St
EWU
Villanova
UTC
Illinois St
