Oh I know. There's absolutely no chance Georgetown gets an at-large, but the auto-bid...well there's a chance...EWURanger wrote:If the past is any indication, Georgetown will get snubbed, as I really don't see two PL teams getting in.

...and this team is different. Their whole demeanor is changed and I think they can pull off the upset.
The day the PL gets as many teams in as the BSC is the day I switch to FBS football.EWURanger wrote:If the past is any indication, Georgetown will get snubbed, as I really don't see two PL teams getting in.
True. The Big Sky bubble teams didn't do themselves any favors this year, though by beating up on each other. Unfortunately for the Big Sky, we are top heavy with UM and MSU this season just like we were with EWU and MSU in 2010. But instead of Montana being the guys left out last season with only 6 Division I wins, I think we will win our last two games and be in the same position as the Griz were last year.AZGrizFan wrote:The day the PL gets as many teams in as the BSC is the day I switch to FBS football.EWURanger wrote:If the past is any indication, Georgetown will get snubbed, as I really don't see two PL teams getting in.
If it comes down to Georgetown or 7 win teams from MEAC or Northeast or a 6 win team, Georgetown should get in and it very well could come to that.EWURanger wrote:If the past is any indication, Georgetown will get snubbed, as I really don't see two PL teams getting in.
Its likely to come down to Georgetown versus a 9-win Duquesne team.UNHWildCats wrote:If it comes down to Georgetown or 7 win teams from MEAC or Northeast or a 6 win team, Georgetown should get in and it very well could come to that.EWURanger wrote:If the past is any indication, Georgetown will get snubbed, as I really don't see two PL teams getting in.

Duquesne would get in before Georgetown in that case.

No they shouldn't. Georgetown absolutely does not belong in the playoffs without an autobid. I mean seriously.

And what a 2nd team from the MEAC or Northeast is more deserving? Or a Pioneer team?93henfan wrote:No they shouldn't. Georgetown absolutely does not belong in the playoffs without an autobid.

OK.
Georgetown football. You're talking about Georgetown football. They fucking lost to Yale and Bucknell.
SMFH.
There will be several six win teams from real conferences that will be more deserving, and the six win rule is a rule of thumb, not an actual rule. It was written before they decided to expand the field. A 7-4 Montana team got waxed by the rule of thumb last year, but that was also a stronger year of FCS football. This year is way down.UNHWildCats wrote:And what a 2nd team from the MEAC or Northeast is more deserving? Or a Pioneer team?93henfan wrote:

No doubt, and it would be a travesty.

Agree on all points. I don't have to like it though, and I don't.EWURanger wrote:There are several teams from the power conferences that could potentially finish with 6 Division I wins. Portland State and Eastern Washington from the Big Sky + Cal-Poly.....Indiana State from the MVFC, Delaware and JMU from the CAA, etc.
Realistically, any one of those teams would probably destroy any number 2 team from the Patriot, MEAC, Pioneer, etc........but the thing is, you have to draw the line somewhere. I'd be highly surprised if the committee went away from the 7 Division I win criteria.
If the committee looks past the seven win guideline, I think Portland State will have the strongest chance of making it, losing only to two top ten teams (MSU, UM) and TCU. They just effed themselves with two non-qualifiers. If they had played another FCS team, they would be in guaranteed. To bad. Nigel Burton has a real good thing going down here (Montana transplant in Portland) and if he can just get fans to the games they may become a Big Sky Power. I still think they have a shot this year though, if the committee ignores the 7 D1 win minimum.UNHWildCats wrote:if the committee finally looks beyong the 7 win guideline then Georgetown doesnt get in, but if the committee holds steady with the guideline, Georgetown gets in if JMU or Indiana State fails to get 7 wins.93henfan wrote:

I don't think there is any way EWU makes it this year, I wish they had a better season. If you guys win out, you will have the same record as PSU, but you will have lost to them, and you will have started 0-4. Eastern Washington just isn't good this year. After an insane 2010 everyone figured you out.EWURanger wrote:There are several teams from the power conferences that could potentially finish with 6 Division I wins.

We're not good this year, but is doesn't really have anything to do with anyone figuring us out. We have lost 7 players on offense and 6 on defense. 8 players out for the season, 3 of them All-Americans. Our offensive line was decimated by week 3. At one point we had lost our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string centers and were using a converted TE to play that position. I don't care who you are, any team that loses that many key players is going to struggle.GrizMonster wrote:I don't think there is any way EWU makes it this year, I wish they had a better season.

I heard from a friend of a friend, that there was a time when the top 2 FBS teams played against each other on prime time TV, and the game went into overtime to decide the victor. The only problem was that no touchdowns were scored. Only field goals. And the team that lost missed something like 4 field goals.
I strongly suggest switching to one of the following instead of FBS football:
High School Football
Middle School Football
Youth Football
Austrailian Rules Football
Men's Collegiate Volleyball
Spanish Bullfighting
Cricket
Female Roller Derby
