Can't wait to see the non fan support for the biggest game of the year!
Does margin of victory matter to the selection committee? I heard both that it does, and also that it does not.

Thats a good question.. You would think it would be more convincing though to win a game by double digits rather than a squeaky 3 or 6 point win.. We haven't had a big win yet, because you can't count the non conference boobie blowout early in the season.. Would love to see us pull out a convincing win, this offense is talented as hell, seems though we often times find ways to limit the talent, or move away from what works. Looking forward to it, can't wait to hop on the plane on friday to head up.

I disagree, as our 8-4 resume would certainly be stronger than most others out there. We would have 4 wins over ranked teams when we faced them and our conference schedule is much tougher than anyone elses.Does margin of victory matter to the selection committee? I heard both that it does, and also that it does not.I said it before ...go 2-0 over the last two weeks, come up with the cash and you have home field for the first-round ...should be even longer. Lose either game and we really should not be in the post-season.
IMO...two wins for YSU = seed and a bye. One win, preferably over ISUb = at large w/ a probable home game. Scalzo wrote a piece saying one win = in.
Re: JMU...my wife is an alum so I follow them. I hope they make it. Their OT loss to DE forces them into a must win at Richmond...they'll crush Elon the following week.
I think the CAA gets three in (NH, Villanova, and the winner of JMU v. Richmond)...and maybe four if DE beats both NH and Villanova (not likely).

Scalzo is wrong more often than he is right when he makes these predictions. I wish he would keep his mouth shut. Like when he wrote a couple years ago that YSU fans shouldn't attend games because YSU was out of the playoff race.

Here is a story Cleveland:
I was in high school (I went to Canfield in the late 70's & early 80's if any of you know the faculty). I had a teacher discussing the differences between the North and South during the US civil war. The teacher "bit off more than he could chew" and began to discuss everything from political systems to France vs. England. Well, I became fed up with some of his obviously wrong statements and told him the way that I though it was.
The teacher could have laughed at the 13-year old kid. However, I addressed the teacher with all the respect that he deserved. After the class, he and I went to another teacher (a noted expert in the subject) and had a nice discussion where I learned more. I even got to eat in the teachers lounge and had a pop (something students could not drink at the time, so it was a big deal to me).
Moral: dispute the post ...not the poster. It really does not matter who posted something ...what does matter is that if you know something different ...tell us, so we all know. If the coach made poor adjustments ..give an example of what you would have done differently on a given play. I have never been a huge Wolf fan, but he has forgotten more about coaching than I could ever know. He is the leader of my team and deserves all of the respect of his position.

I think it goes without saying, this is the single biggest game for Coach Eric Wolford if he wants to remain head coach at YSU. Time to put your money where your mouth is.
He is well aware of the situation at hand. He is not tone deaf to the fan base or the empty stands.
Good luck Coach! You've grown quite a bit in recent years and I want you to succeed.
Go YSU!
