The Official Stony Brook FB Playoff Thread - Bracketology!

There is no Jinxing anymore. SBU is playoff bound. So why not
start our own bracketology and have fun at it!

I'll start with some questions first.
I've read in the AGS board that home games need to bid for? Is
this true? If that is the case. I have no doubt that SBU will
bid for a home game in the 1st round.
1st Round: Stony Brook vs. Duquesne/Central Connecticut? or
Stony Brook vs. Colgate?

Duquense/CCSU would be an easy W . Colgate is a tougher team .
As long as it is home doesn't matter. I suspect we get Colgate

I'm still hoping we get the bye and/or some craziness occurs to
get us the CAA title. We must beat Maine and then have Southern
Utah, South Dakota, and probably a couple more lose. There's
still a chance we can get the seed and/or a bye. I think there's
a scenario where if Elon beats JMU we may win the CAA title, but
I'm not entirely sure. JMU beating Elon would definitely boost
our odds of getting a seed though, so it's almost like it's
either we win the conference, but potentially don't get the
seed, or have JMU beat Elon and get the seed, but not win the
conference title. Very interesting situation. I'd hope we'd get
a seed over Wofford if we beat Maine (as they're going to get
killed by South Carolina next week), but that's no guarantee.
Wofford's playoff resume isn't as good as ours.

The Bye week is definitely possible if we win next week and some
madness occurs across the FCS.
Now, I think winning the CAA Championship is a bit tougher. For
that, JMU would have to lose. I just don't see them losing to
Elon...

Easy to say but we just need to win at Maine. It’s gonna
be hard. They play well at home. And they gave Umass a scare on
Saturday. And we will probably be resting some players (we
definitely should), we might be short handed.
PS we need a thread for the Maine game :)

Not sure how smart resting players would be. We're giving up on
a bye and a second round home game by doing that. Playing tough
against Maine and getting a win gives us a chance at a seed
which means a bye and second round home game. First time we'd
ever host a playoff game in December at Lavalle. That's worth
playing for.
Also I doublechecked. If we beat Maine, and Elon wins next week,
us, JMU, and Elon would each finish the year as CAA co-champions
at 7-1 in the conference. The tiebreakers to determine the
auto-bid are in the linked document below (Article IV). So if
that happened, we would technically be CAA champions and could
claim a share of the conference title for the first time ever.
The tie-breakers in the pdf are to determine who get the
auto-bid for the playoffs (irrelevant because we'd get an
at-large as would JMU and Elon). If we all finish 7-1 in
conference, we'd all get a share of the title. Of course JMU
beating Elon greatly increases our chance at getting a seed. I'd
wager that if Elon(JMU), South Dakota(SDSU), Southern Utah
(NAU), and Wofford(FBS South Carolina) all lose their games next
week, which is pretty likely given who they're all playing we'd
get a seed. All of the above except for Wofford would have at
least three losses against our two losses, and Wofford's
conference (SoCon) isn't as strong as the CAA. They've also
struggled against some pretty mediocre teams.

I was thinking of the injured players especially Bedell and
Bolden. Why risk them. We have enough rushing firepower to rest
Bedell unless he is feeling 100%. As for Bolden I don’t know how
serious the concussion was. Players would always want to
play..even through injury. Again I would only play Bolden if he
is 100%.

Thanks for the explanation. Now you have made it a tough choice
lol. Root for JMU for higher seed vs root for Elon for a share
of the CAA championship. I think I am leaning towards rooting
for Elon haha
