I hope the playoff committee proves me wrong and puts us in.

Florida A&M lost and NC A&T won which means another spot opened up.

Furman has also allowed 24 points now which means they won't get an AQ which helps us. (It can't hurt us.) If Mercer can somehow win this game that would be the best result.

UNI is up 10-0 on MSU which doesn't help us.


Update: Mercer is up 30-29 on Furman (extra pt pending)!

I'm just hanging our hat on the fact that this is the MVFC. If we want to keep trumpeting this league, it should pay off for us when we need it to.
 
Congrats, id bet money your in

MVFC- NDSU, SDSU, ISU-B

Keep it rolling, we call you guys the "Fighting Gran Olson's" as he was a pretty good player for NDSU from 2010-2013
 
We've won five in a row (very nearly seven in a row), that should make the difference if late season success means anything. If it's between us and UNI, they got blown out by WIU just two weeks ago. We won!

with NC A&T winning today that opened up a spot, think your safe, NC will be in the Celebration bowl
 
FCS selection show tomorrow at 12:30pm on ESPNU for anyone who didn't know.

Already have DVR set, will be in church. Gee, what should I pray for tomorrow? :thumbsup:
 
I really can't see us not getting in, at this point. UNI would be the only team I'd be worried about given how badly we lost to them and they're cleaning house with Missouri State today. Still, their non-conference was arguably worse than ours. Beating Hampton isn't all that much better than beating Quincy. And they lost to Montana while we beat EIU. They had a nice win against SDSU, but lost to Youngstown St. and WIU (two teams we beat), so that cancels out the SDSU win, in my opinion.

Updated for all finals. Technically, 3 games still to be determined, but I'm calling them now. Incarnate Word is not beating Iowa State, Chattanooga isn't beating South Carolina and Northern Iowa is boatracing Missouri State.
 
 
Incarnate word vs Iowa St is a makeup game that had an out clause if either team had post season games. IW will be 6-4 final record for playoffs

But it is. Hampton is at least a FCS. We fucked up by scheduling Quincy and fingers crossed it doesn't bite us.

UNI has the #1 SOS in FCS, the same amount of FCS wins as us and they beat top 5 SDSU and shut us out 33-0. Both of us are 5-3 in Valley play and based on tiebreakers, they'd be ahead I believe. This is why I was unhappy when they lost to Youngstown State. We needed them to win out so they weren't anywhere near the bubble.

We've got to hope the committee shows the MVFC respect and puts us both in I'd think.

Haley from STATS has us in going to SEMO and the winner going to play North Dakota State.

I don’t have a problem scheduling a cupcake following an 0-11 season. I just hope it was a D 2 because all the Pioneer or lower FCS were booked and not because we couldn’t afford to bring one of them in. That would be totally unfair to these guys.

Per Golden we didn’t even brother to submit a bid to host a playoff game which is also just bad.

That negativity aside, today SHOULD be a good day. Hoping for a SEMO draw as we’ll get 10x the fans there than New Orleans.
 
A hypothetical... so if we did get paired with SEMO and they also didn't submit a bid, how does that work?
