Weekly FCS Thread... Poll is in the 8th post of thread

Why? The SLC has no less than 4 loss teams other than SLU. I do not see where the complaint is for their seeding, especially since Jax St won the OVC and all the teams above them keep winning. McNeese, which is the best win has not beat a team with a winning record all year.

I would rather see SLU seeded, but I just do not see how, this weekend if the right teams lose (UTC and Nova) they may have a complaint. If Fordham wins, they will stay above SLU also.

Hoping ISU closes out on a high note with a home win over SIU.

Jax st
NDS
Villnova
East wash
Coast carolina
Illinois state
New Hampshire.
7 seeds are locks.

Next spot is a toss up between:
SLU
Chattanooga
Northern Iowa
Fordham- terrible Resume. No way they deserve top 8

The new poll is out. I will bold the two conferences as usual. I find it weird they aren't moving certain teams around. But they rewarded JMU with 8 spot jump this week. Sam St is back in the poll. I still think the top 2 teams in country are ranked 2 and 3.


1. New Hampshire Wildcats (74) 9-1
2. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (56) 11-0
3. North Dakota State Bison (20)
4. Jacksonville State Gamecocks (10)
5. Eastern Washington Eagles 9-2
6. Villanova Wildcats 9-2
7. Fordham Rams 10-1
8. Illinois State Redbirds 9-1
9. Chattanooga Mocs 8-3
10. Southeastern Louisiana Lions 8-3
11. Northern Iowa Panthers 7-4
12. Montana State Bobcats 8-3
13. Montana Grizzlies 7-4
14. Eastern Kentucky Colonels 9-2
15. Harvard Crimson 9-0
16. South Dakota State Jackrabbits 7-4
17. James Madison Dukes 8-3
18. Indiana State Sycamores 7-4
19. McNeese State Cowboys 6-4
20. Youngstown State Penguins 7-4
21. Richmond Spiders 7-4
22. William & Mary Tribe 7-4
23. Sam Houston State Bearkats 7-4
24. North Carolina A&T Aggies 9-2
25. Bethune-Cookman Wildcats 8-3

My Bracketology

SFA at Montana State vs 1. NDSU
Sacred Heart at JMU vs 8. Fordham

SDSU at SHSU vs 5. EWU
Bethune-Cookman at Chattanooga vs 4. JSU

SELA at UNI vs 6. ISUR
Richmond/William and Mary winner at North Carolina A&T vs 3. CCU

Indiana State at EKU vs 7. Nova
San Diego at Montana vs 2. UNH

Autobids(11): EWU, CCU, UNH, NC A&T, NDSU, Sacred Heart, Jacksonville State, Fordham, San Diego, Chattanooga and SHSU

At Large(13): ISUR, Nova, UNI, SELA, SDSU, JMU, Indiana State, Richmond-William and Mary Winner, EKU Montana, Montana State, SFA, Bethune-Cookman

Bubble: NAU, Bryant, Bucknell

So SLU beats #11/13 by 19 and doesn't move in the poll. Makes sense.

San Diego was gifted the auto bid. Did you read how they got it?

Yeah, I saw that. The Pioneer conference is a trainwreck, last year San Diego had to forfeit the autobid for similar reasons.

There's no way they will give them that seed. Just knowing the committee as we do I wouldn't be shocked to see them set up a rematch with NDSUin a quarter final.

I can't remember if you have read all of the threads but every time the playoff prediction comes out I comment how they seem to protect certain teams and place two conferences together almost annually.
