Experts predictions with some of my thoughts added

X-No. 11 Western Illinois (6-3, 3-3 Missouri Valley) at Indiana State (0-9, 0-6), 1 p.m. In Playoff mode for the Leathernecks, should be an easy one.
Savannah State (2-7, 2-4 MEAC) at X-No. 9 North Carolina A&T (9-0, 6-0), 1 p.m.
Wagner (3-6) at X-No. 12 Stony Brook (7-2), 1 p.m.
X-No. 8 Wofford (8-1, 6-1 Southern) at VMI (0-10, 0-7), 1:30 p.m. Wofford clinches with a win I think
The Citadel (5-4, 3-4 Southern) at X-No. 21 Furman (6-3, 5-1), 2 p.m.
No. 7 Elon (8-1, 6-0 CAA) at X-No. 18 New Hampshire (6-3, 4-2), 2 p.m. UNH has to win to stay in, I think Elon beats them
No. 19 Eastern Washington (5-4, 4-2 Big Sky) at X-North Dakota (3-7, 2-5), 2 p.m. Even though starting QB suspended I like EWU
Mercer (4-5, 3-4 Southern) at X-No. 22 Western Carolina (7-3, 5-2), 2 p.m.
ETSU (4-5, 2-4 Southern) at X-No. 16 Samford (6-3, 4-2), 3 p.m. Samford is in Playoff mode
X-No. 13 Grambling State (8-1, 5-0 SWAC) at Alabama State (3-5, 3-2), 3 p.m.
X-No. 25 Northern Iowa (5-4, 4-2 Missouri Valley) at Missouri State (3-6, 2-4), 3 p.m. PANTHER WEEK I hope my Bears show up like they did at SIU, but UNI has to win out to be in
No. 17 Illinois State (6-3, 4-2 Missouri Valley) at X-No. 6 South Dakota State (7-2, 4-2), 3 p.m. Redbirds need to win to stay in playoff consideration, SDSU beat NDSU so possible trap game
X-No. 2 Jacksonville State (8-1, 6-0 Ohio Valley) at UT Martin (5-4, 3-3), 3 p.m.
Richmond (5-4, 3-3 CAA) at X-No. 1 James Madison (9-0, 6-0), 3:30 p.m. Richmond scares them but JMU wins
Charleston Southern (5-4, 2-1 Big South) at X-No. 23 Kennesaw State (8-1, 3-0), 3:30 p.m.
No. 10 South Dakota (7-2, 4-2 Missouri Valley) at X-No. 5 North Dakota State (8-1, 5-1), 3:30 p.m. NDSU should win but closer than expected
X-No. 14 Weber State (7-2, 5-1 Big Sky) at Portland State (0-9, 0-6), 5 p.m.
X-No. 4 Sam Houston State (8-1, 6-1 Southland) at Abilene Christian (2-7, 2-5), 7 p.m. Sam will rest everyone in the 4th
X-No. 3 Central Arkansas (8-1, 7-0 Southland) at Incarnate Word (1-8, 1-6), 7 p.m. UCA can name the score
Northwestern State (3-6, 3-4 Southland) at X-No. 20 McNeese (7-2, 5-2), 7 p.m. I like McNeese by a bunch just because of their Defense
Montana State (4-5, 4-2 Big Sky) at X-No. 24 Northern Arizona (6-3, 5-1), 7 p.m.
X-No. 15 Southern Utah (7-2, 5-1 Big Sky) at UC Davis (5-4, 3-3), 7 p.m.


MVC Games:
X-Youngstown St (4-5) @ S Illinois (4-5), Pens win


SLC Games:
X-Lamar (1-8) @ Houston Baptist (1-8), nobody cares about this game except parents
X-Nicholls (7-2) @ Steph F Austin (4-5), Keep winning and make them put you in the playoff discussion. It is a shame the Colonels are unranked. Criminal even.

Looks like the SLC went pretty much as planned last night. Appears my Bears had a one-sided track meet last night.

Saw Hero Sports' projections just now. Not sure how reputable that one is, but they still don't have Nicholls in.

I just don't see the SLC becoming a 4-bid league in a week. If Nicholls wins and isn't in, it's a shame, but the SLC is dogshit after the Top 5, and there's a pretty sizable gap between the Top 2 and the next 3.

Some of our fans are still under the impression that we are getting in.

I don't understand how Nicholls is not getting any recognition. Would love for them to get in the playoffs, last time in the playoffs was my freshman year.

I think it has to do with how bad the conference is and what other teams are doing across the nation, but I'm confused about it as well.

Two other conferences are projected to get 4 or 5 bids each. That definitely hurts Nicholls chances of getting in.

Hell, Nicholls hasn't even been ranked. They just aren't getting any recognition.

That's why I refer to the coaches poll, lol. They are ranked there. I'd guess the blowout loss is killing them also.

But hell, it was to Sam Houston, a projected National Seed. The only other loss is to Texas A&M, and it was by 10. Ya'll have 8 eligible wins, an FBS loss, and a loss to a projected National Seed. We have 7 eligible wins, and 2 FCS losses.

I really think it boils down to the fact that the rest of our schedules are utter crap against the SLC. I've seen someone say the SLC is the 6th best conference in the FCS. If that's true, it's only because of the Top 2, MAYBE the Top 4. If the rest of the SLC were a conference on their own, it would be last in the FCS. Garbage.

The STATS poll is the most reliable poll. The Coaches poll is a joke

The STATS poll is the original and has multiple admins and writers that pay attention

I saw the Hero write-up as well. I'm holding out hope that the Colonels can somehow get into the playoffs....but I think the strength of the conference really hurts us. Wins over Lamar, IWU & HBU aren't going to impress anyone. The loss to A&M and they way they played should give us a boost...but I doubt it's enough to truly make a difference.
