YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
Favorable Playoff Scenario
FOOTBALLFEVER:
The C.A.A. and Southern conference will each get 4 teams in..This just makes me furious
Wick250:
Fever,
Whoever drew up that college sports madness bracket must be a Fordham graduate. There is no way that Patriot League team is getting in the playoffs with three losses and a junk schedule.
For what it is worth, and that is virtually nothing, here is how I believe the spots will be distributed by conference.
Pioneer, NEC, Big South, OVC, and Patriot....one bid leagues
Southland....two bids, everybody else in there stinks
That leaves 17 spots to be distributed among the MVFC, the Big Sky, the CAA, and the Southern. I expect that we will get five while the others get four apiece. If UNI beats SDSU, they get the fifth MVFC spot. If they lose, that bid goes to Illinois State. The only way we could lose that fifth spot is if SDSU beats UNI and if Southern Illinois beats Western Illinois. Since that game is in Carbondale, it could happen.

--- Quote from: FOOTBALLFEVER on November 13, 2016, 09:50:56 AM ---There is a strong possibility only 3 teams from our conference will get in, maybe 4. I think Illinois St. deserves consideration after a win against SDSU and a FBS opponent even though they have finished the season at 6-5. Western will more then likely beat Southern and finish at 7-4, yet they have know signature wins to speak of other then a win over a weak N.I.U. team from the M.A.C. and will have only 4 conference wins. U.N.I. will have their backs against the wall playing against a SDSU team who has plenty to play for this week. We need to take care of business against Missouri St. to create some separation from Western and Illinois St. and not leave it in the hands of the committee

Unfortunately the historical precedent is that they take the best record, not the best team.
guinpen:
Interesting bracket, doubt that sdsu and ndsu would be on the same side and we and Western would be on the other.
Certainly some of our fans would be upset that we would have to play a team like St Francis. Maybe the game would be at St Francis so they would have a good reason for not going
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Wick, Fordham made the playoffs last year with 3 losses. They were not the auto bid from their conference
