With that Hail Mary win, do we have the resume to host next week? I think we lost our chance for seed. But I don’t think we will be traveling first round.
Just gotta wait to see how the day finishes.
I still believe the CAA is deserving of two seeded teams. That leaves only JMU/SBU as candidates
I'm not ruling out a seed either. We didn't look good today, but with some chaos I think we could still snag one. Other teams haven't had their best games either at various points this season. Here are the games to watch:
Southern Illinois @ Western Illinois - WIU up 21-0 right now. WIU was in the running for a seed and could get one depending on how things shake out. Lets assume WIU wins this one.
Idaho State @ Weber State - Weber at home and is favored. They have a D2 win, and I don't think their resume is/was as good as ours, but at 9-2 they could steal our seed. based on eye test and us looking weak today. Hope for the Idaho St. upset. Though they could still win and not get a seed.
Northern Arizona @ Southern Utah - A Southern Utah win gets them the Big Sky autobid and (IMO) guarantees them a seed. Lets hope NAU can pull off the upset. NAU is a good team and could do it.
Wofford @ South Carolina - Wofford is often listed as a seed, but their resume is weaker than ours and would be weaker than several other 9-2/8-3 teams. They've needed overtime to beat weak Big South and SoCon teams. If they get a seed over any of these other teams listed I'd be legitimately upset. I don't think they should get one, but if they play USC close, they may be able to snag/keep a seed.
Monmouth @ Kennesaw St. - KSU up 38-21 right now. With enough chaos, the winner of this game would be the Big South champion and at 10-1 could get a seed. I don't think they will, but they could. Both teams should be in the playoffs with all the losses by CAA bubble teams today.
South Dakota State @ South Dakota - SDSU up 17-14 right now. I think the winner of this game will get a seed for sure, but if USD wins, both could get seeds (USD has a h2h win over WIU and would be seeded over them). I'm rooting for South Dakota St. as they're already a seed in most projections and a win here knocks South Dakota out of the seed picture at 7-4. SDSU was the only team this year to beat NDSU.
Abilene Christian @ Central Arkansas - UCA is a top 4 seed in most projections, and this game shouldn't be close. But under the 0.00001% chance Abilene Christian wins, that should knock Central Arkansas out of the seed picture. The Southland is a joke and is overall arguably weaker than the Big South. A couple great teams up top, but trash at the bottom.
Elon is out of the seed picture after the blowout loss to JMU today.
