Just let it go. Don't torture yourself this week with expectations that cannot be fulfilled. We have zero chance to make the playoffs. If you followed the events in other FCS conferences, you would realize that 7-4 won't get you close this year. Last year, yes; next year, probably with four more spots added; this year, not possible. Our unprepared coaches puked away the season with those back-to-back bizarre losses to Illinois State and Southern Illinois.
You are spot on. Eastern Illinois won the OVC, yet may finish 7-4, and there are too many teams from the top 6 conferences with at least 8 wins. Besides the teams listed below, South Dakota State, Villanova, and Richmond can all get to 8 wins by beating teams with non-winning records this weekend.
Big Sky - E. Washington, Cal Poly, Montana St., N. Arizona
CAA - Old Dominion, New Hampshire
MVFC - N. Dakota St., Illinois St.
OVC - E. Kentucky, Tennessee St.
Southern - Georgia Southern, Wolford, Appy St.
Southland - Sam Houston St., Central Arkansas
