We need to win 2 of our next 3 going into our bye week. That's two home games in there . We get to our by week 5-2 we might be ok going forward.
I'm in agreement here. Overall for a playoff berth, I still say we need 7 wins. It's
possible to get in with six wins (WIU from the MVFC got in with six in 2015, but that was the only time) given how ridiculously stacked the CAA is this year, but 7 this year would be a pretty safe bet. Meaning we'd need to go 4-3 down the stretch. Other than Wagner, there are no more easy games on this schedule.
Though we've yet to beat them since joining the CAA, a win this weekend over William and Mary would be huge for us as far as putting us in a good position to make a run. I think this could be the year we finally do it now that all the pieces seem to be coming together. Of these next three games, I say UNH at home will be the toughest despite their inexplicable loss to Holy Cross. If we can run the table these next three though and reach 6-1, we'll be in real good shape. Though here's what I think will happen:
W&M - L (though winnable)
Delaware - W
UNH - W (homecoming magic returns to Lavalle)
BYE
Richmond - L
Albany - W (they've got a very good team this year, but they're our rival and for the most part we've had their number. We ought to beat the **** out of them
)
Wagner - W
Maine - W
Final: 8-3 (6-2 CAA), not enough to win the conference or get a bye, but good enough to get a home playoff game against an opponent from a lesser conference.
