Albany is a good team. Everyone in the CAA is good and can beat
anyone on any given day...
But the fact of the matter is, we're just a better team than
they are this year and we've got the game at our place with
everything to play for. We should bury them early. The FCS
committee releases their first rankings at half time tonight of
the NIU vs Toledo game. If we're in that top 10, our guys will
have everything to play for. We have the potential of having a
bye and playoff football at Lavalle in December. We better come
out and kick their asses.

I hope you are right. I am not saying a word about this game.

Yeah, I got that wrong. I knew they came out tonight, I just
thought during the Toledo NIU game. Weird they'd release them at
~11 on a Thursday night, but whatever.

JMU #1 and Elon #7 in the committee top ten. Pretty reasonable.

Seawolves couldn't make the top ten. I didn't expect them to.
Making it would have surprised me. But that's not to say we
can't make the top 10, come actual selection day. We just have
to win 3 winnable, though not easy games. And hope for some drop
outs in the ranking. Lot of the top teams yet to play each other
and Elon will definitely get another loss somewhere.

Elon and JMU play and nobody is beating JMU, so Elon will lose.
Whether or not that drops them out of the top 8 remains to be
seen. If it's a one possession game they may remain in the top 8
and get a seed.
The big surprise was NAU. That one surprised me, but the
computers like them (8th in the Massey Composite) with a
non-conference win over Illinois St. and losses only to ranked
FBS Arizona and WIU. They're undefeated in Big Sky play, but
have games against both Montana and Southern Utah coming up.
With enough losses by certain teams we could be looking at a
seed. I wouldn't be surprised if we were 11-12th in the
committee's mind. What helps us is that a lot of the teams
around us in the rankings in the hunt for a seed still play each
other. That can also break the other way against us, but teams
losing late take them out of consideration for that playoff
seed. NDSU still plays South Dakota South Dakota St., and
Illinois St. All of which either have seeds or are in the
running for a seed. We need NDSU to crush those teams, NAU to
lose to one or both of the Montana teams, and JMU to crush Elon.
Ideally I'd also like to see one or both of those Southland
schools lose. No way two teams from that cupcake conference
should have seeds, but it is what it is. If the above happens I
think we're in a good spot. Historically if you finish 9-2 in
this conference, you get a seed. Champion or not.
Just have to win the games in front of us first though. Winning
out gets us a playoff home game at Lavalle at worst against a
cupcake, and hopefully a winnable road game in the second round
(Elon perhaps). If you told me two months ago we'd be talking
about potentially receiving a first round bye in the playoffs
I'd have laughed at you.

I watched the Richmond game and what I seen has me baffle lets
think here for a moment SB is stacked with talent but what good
is it if you don't use it or let say don't no how to use it lets
think about it the question here is not how to win but how do
you lose 1 your best player's are on the sidelines 2 you don't
udilize your tightens 3 keep your defense on the field and # 4
which should be #1 keep running the same 6 play's

while i might agree with the logic (JMU Is that good this year),
URI did beat albany, and so i tend to think never say never...
but yes, i think JMU will beat elon.
GO SB, BEAT UA!!!
