I just saw an interview and article. NC Central says it will accept and offer and feels it's 9-win season is play-off worthy. IMO, So will the committee.

Look a the #1 article on the HBCU site, it is about the best halftime shows. Just goes to show you their priority

IAA Fan:
I am not sure where the NCAA goes to find columnists. I guest that is what we get for following an FCS team. I don't know who writes the list, but a huge amount of bias in the article. He spends more times defending his "outs", than his "ins". I mean what is the difference between "bubble but out" and "first teams out"? Also,  if a team is "definitely out" then why mention them at all?  :)   Also, since the author does not think it is important to mention, perhaps we should mention the letters? Also next time mention the conferences and totals. Although, to be fair, they used to spend more time talking about the IA/FBS teams each played, so this is much improved.

The YO Show:
Let me clarify this for you IAA, NCCU didn't win the MEAC, despite their record, because they lost to Howard. So Howard is the MEAC representative to the Celebration bowl. If Howard would have lost to Morgan State yesterday, since NCCU did win, they would have ended up winning the MEAC and then wouldn't get an at large. MEAC vs SWAC is still a bowl game, NCCU just didn't win the MEAC so they will take an at large. My projection for the field is more like this (and I think YSU makes it in):

1   South Dakota State Jackrabbits
2   Montana Grizzlies
3   South Dakota Coyotes
4   Villanova Wildcats
5   Albany Great Danes
6   Idaho  Vandals
7   Furman Paladins
8   North Dakota State Bison
9   Montana State Bobcats
10   Austin Peay
11   Delaware Fightin Blue Hens
12   Richmond Spiders
13   Mercer Bears
14   North Dakota Fighting Hawks
15   Incarnate Word Cardinals
16   Southern Illinois Salukis
17   Youngstown State Penguins
18   North Carolina Central Eagles
19   Gardner Webb
20   Nicholls
21   Drake
22   Lafayette Leopards
23   UT Martin
24   UC Davis
25   Sac State

Sac State being 25 means they are the first one out...

The YO Show:
If that columnist is right and Sac State gets in over UC Davis, or SIU gets in and YSU gets left out, I swear I will have a meltdown

IAA Fan:
Nice list, we will know in an hour
