Delaware and EWU are in the game by default. Neither had to withstand a good game by their opponent.
They are in the title game and nobody can take that away from them. They have the bragging rights and good for them. Unfortunately for EWU there is always the knowledge that they were given a game they should have lost by an unlikely and perplexing series of game changing calls by the referees. Every single point they scored was a result of a bad call except the TD on OT. The game was finally handed to them by the bogus fumble call at the goal line.
Its a shame really that it will always come down to that. Even if they win the NC there is a large portion of the FCS fan base that knows what happened. The Eagles were beaten by the BISON but the BISON were beaten by the referees.
Dear Lord, We come before you and humbly ask you to grant our prayer for a veil of protection to be placed over Donald Trump. May your will be done. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Good teams overcome bad breaks and capitalize on good ones.

Is it just me, or does the above quote sound really, really bitter?
FWIW, I'm a large portion of the FCS fan base that knows what happened...Eastern Washington won!
Looks like Screamin' nailed the title, huh!??!

I have met many bitter queens in my day - you beat them all...
