SLU should get the home game, not SHSU. If we both win out, SLU would have the better record. Seems to me SLU should at least have one home game. Last year we had a bye and then a home game. I must be missing something.

In the first round home games are decided on who bids more money to host. So really SLU could host or not host depending on who they play, schools like Montana and UNI though typically put in strong bids. Schools like SDSU or Indiana State not so much.

Obviously if you are seeded like SLU was last year it doesn't matter. You would host the game unless you are playing a higher seed.

2 Illinois State teams this year. A dominant one that could take out a quality FBS team and a mistake prone middle MVFC team. Very rarely put together a full game. Maybe played a solid quarter at UNI.

So frustrating even though they only have 1 loss.

Big games for the weekend....

Fordham at Army, Fordham wins they get a seed
Liberty at Coastal, Liberty gets auto bid with a win
Richmond vs William and Mary, elimination game for both
Samford vs Auburn, Samford will get in with a very unlikely win
Indiana St vs Western Ill, ISU elimination game
NC A&T vs NC Central, A&T wins they get auto bid
Youngstown vs NDSU, Youngstown elimination game, NDSU playing for #1 seed
UCA vs Sam St, Sam wins share of SLC and playoff bid
SMS vs UNI, UNI elimination game
Montana vs Montana St

Robinson Award finalist

Beau Baldwin, Eastern Washington
Rod Broadway, North Carolina A&T
Clint Conque, Stephen F. Austin
Marty Fine, Bryant
Broderick Fobbs, Grambling State
John Grass, Jacksonville State
Dean Hood, Eastern Kentucky
Russ Huesman, Chattanooga
Chris Klieman, North Dakota State
Mike Kramer, Idaho State
Dale Lindsey, San Diego
Sean McDonnell, New Hampshire
Joe Moglia, Coastal Carolina
Tim Murphy, Harvard
Tony Reno, Yale
Mike Sanford, Indiana State
Brock Spack, Illinois State
Mark Speir, Western Carolina
Joe Susan, Bucknell
Everett Withers, James Madison

Just my opinion it should be Brock Spack from unranked to possible MVC champion this year.

I think this is how the auto qualifier is earned in SLC now

If Sam St loses it Southeastern

If Sam St wins it depends on the Northwestern SFA game.
If Northwestern wins it's Southeastern
If SFA wins it's Sam St

The conference may want SFA to win to guarantee 2

Bad news for SLU fans so far, Fordham leads Army in 2nd

But good news Fordham just threw a pick on the Army 20.

Great news for SLU fans

Army blocked punt in the end zone leads now 14-10 at half.

Army won. Boo ya!

ISU up over SIU 44-29. 2 mins left running the clock out.

Conference Champs for first time since 99!

Not too bad today. 40 and light rain. This week's been hell. First day over 32 this week and it's over. Could be bitter cold for the playoffs.

14-3 new hampshire
