Liberty, SBU, and G-W are in "win and you're in" mode. If any of those teams win their remaining games, they'll receive the autobid. Liberty has SBU and G-W at home, meaning they have the edge in terms of homefield advantage against those two teams.
However, LU will have to travel to Coastal. A loss to Coastal would take the Flames out of a "win and you're in" scenario unless the Chants lose another game. Playing at CCU is usually a tough task. We'll see how the Flames can handle it.

I know the Big South isn't the best conference ever, but that's gonna be a heck of a month of football. Presby hadn't won since beating LU 2 years ago until this past weekend, so now coming off a win, how do they react when they take on LU almost two years to the day after they pulled the upset on the Flames on the same field the game will be played on? Follow that up with LU having to play it's 3 toughest opponents in Big South play for a chance at the playoffs, and it'll be a chance for LU to prove if it's really ready to step up to national competition.
The NEC race looks pretty good too with CCSU and RMU on a crash course. The two newest conferences to the AQ are gonna have a good battle for their playoff qualifiers, and that makes for good football.
