CAA TODAY: CAA vs. THE WORLD

Post by jstclmet »

The Colonial Athletic Association will try to become the first league to get two teams to an NCAA Division I Football Championship game with Villanova and Delaware attempting to reach the FCS title game in matchups with Eastern Washington and Georgia Southern

After selection Sunday, I struggled with writer’s block in coming up with a theme for that weekend.

I reached out to my son for a recommendation, and he responded with “Us (Villanova) vs. The World”.

Changing “Us” to “CAA” made it more inclusive of the entire conference.

While I liked the theme, it didn’t quite fit that weekend. However, now that we’ve reached the semifinals, and we have a CAA team on each side of the bracket, the entire CAA family can get behind Villanova and Delaware and cheer for an All-CAA National Championship final.

EWU and GSU might have something to say about that; that's why they play the game.

Do Georgia Southern - Furman finals in 1985 and 1988 not count since it was I-AA and not "FCS" or something?

Uh, they don't count because Georgia Southern wasn't in the SoCon back then - they were independent until '92 or so. Aren't you a fan of a team from that conference? Would've thought you would've seen that in a media guide or two over the years.

Doesn't matter, GF, because Georgia Southern is not and never has been in the CAA.
