Hopefully no D-2 after such a great season. We need a stronger
schedule if we want to be taken seriously this upcoming season.
A St.Anselm type team wont do...

This should be the last year of filling in the Hofstra slot, so
moving forward our schedule should get better.
I like what I see for 2012. The 'Cuse and Army games are your
typical FBS games. They are big names, look great on paper,
aren't exactly great teams, but should beat us. If we can keep
it close it's awesome. If we can sneak a win, thats
spectacular.
Colgate, Pace, and CCSU are very winnable games, and the
conference schedule is standard.
That gives us 9 very winnable games out of 11. Given
everything, I still believe that to get in the playoffs we
either need to win the conference, or if we lose a game in
conference, we'd need to beat one of the FBS teams to get an
at-large berth. Going to be another fun year!

Syracuse and Army are two good FBS teams to schedule specially
cuz they are higher chances of them being on TV. Thats a smart
move by Stony Brook. I'm sure that the Cuse game should be
broadcasted at least regionally most likely on SNY. The Army
game also has chances of being carried on TV, maybe MSG or MSG+
considering the recent success of Stony Brook football and the
popularity of Army football. Both games can be attended by our
fan base in more significant numbers than if it was at Florida
(USF) or Texas (UTEP). Good move by Stony Brook.
In my eyes, the only blemish is the Pace game. We need to
schedule Division I all games if we want to be taken serious
nationally. The Big South in general needs a stronger schedule
and scheduling teams like Pace doesn't help. Despite me
disliking the Pace, I will have to say that I prefer that over a
team like St.Anselm. Pace is local, so that helps. Pace is
widely known in the metro area and may drag a few extra fans
into the game considering the St.Anselm game was less than half
full...who that hell knows St.Anselm?
Hopefully by 2013 we can have a all-Division I schedule, that'll
be a huge move and would continue the upward trajectory of SB
Football. Stony Brook football is looking bright and its on a
good path. Go Seawolves

Thats a good thing
All Cuse games were on TV:

Thats two TV games for almost for sure in the regular season. We
haven't had a TV game since USF in 2010.

Damn, I just had a burst of excitement for the upcoming season.
It f'cking sucks that we have to wait so long for SB football.

I don't see the Pace game as a problem. If SB has to rely on an
at-large berth (hope they don't), then I think a lack of LOSSES
instead of total wins against FCS teams carries more weight. It
shouldn't, but the committee seems to penalize losses more than
it rewards wins. A win against either Syracuse or Army is
possible (Sam Houston is rated higher than both of them). A game
against Pace would give the Wolves somewhat of a bye week. Win
an FCS game, lose no more than two games in total, and they
would get in.

The FCS Playoff Committee has not relied on any "threshold" of
any sort EXCEPT for a hard 7-D1 win threshold. Given our cupcake
schedule and 2 FBS opponent mandate, we cripple ourselves in
this area - basically requiring an undefeated FCS OOC and an FBS
win to qualify for the playoffs. Given that there are 3 brand
new FCS programs that are D1 counters looking for opponents
(including local Rhode Island program Bryant), there should have
been no problem finding a replacement for Hofstra years in
advance. This was a total failure by the administration in my
eyes.

Pace ? Are they a D2 or a D3 ? Syracuse is a good pick up
and we knew about Army.
