Re: 2011 Stony Brook Seawolves Football News

There will be no at-large candidate from the Big South in 2011 for larger reasons than simply conference disrespect.
An NCAA guideline states that to get into the FCS playoff field, a team needs 7 wins against D-1 competition.  This is a guideline, not a rule, but it has never been set aside in the entire history of the I-AA/FCS playoffs.  In the case of this season, neither SBU's win over St. Anselm or Liberty's win over Kentucky Wesleyan count toward that total, leaving the loser of the SBU-LU game with only 6 D-1 wins.
