Game vs Maine, which will not be easy, probably is critical to
ultimate seedings. Cannot look past Maine. This game is very
very important. A win and some help hopefully avoids placement
into the slot that goes to JMU in second round.

Reading in the AGS board i get the sense that the Maine game is
Indeed critical if we want to be considered for a seeding. We
need also need some dominoes to fall our way to get a seed (and
thus avoid JMU in a hypothetical second round matchup)

Lets beat Maine first and worry about what happens next. A lot
of teams in the CAA and elsewhere are going home after Saturday
keep that in mind.

True we cannot look past Maine.
The seeding has a geographic component, but if we play well, we
may not get put up against JMU right away. If Elon wins for
instance they should get a seed and they could be our second
round matchup. It's also possible if Wofford winds up being
seeded we could be put in their bracket. Jacksonville St. or
Central Arkansas aren't that far away and we could be put there
too as a reward for a good season. We've played way too well to
be put up against JMU in round two. That's if we don't get a
seed. If we get a seed and win the second round game, it
wouldn't be until the quarterfinal that we'd have to worry about
JMU (or maybe NDSU if we get the #7 seed). Our defense will keep
us in games against anyone in the country. I wouldn't call the
JMU game an automatic loss. We have to take care of business
first though.
If we lose out on a seed to Elon if they beat JMU, A Big Sky
champion Southern Utah, or an 8-3 MVFC team (South Dakota or
WIU) I could live with that. Elon would have earned it by
beating JMU, SUU would be Big Sky champs, and the MVFC is a
gauntlet. If we lose out on a seed to Wofford (SoCon, struggled
to get OT wins against weak teams), Weber St. (D2 win), or God
forbid a 10-1 Big South champion (Monmouth or Kennesaw St.) I'd
be pissed. We'd have been screwed out of a seed if that were the
case. No way Friggin Wofford, Weber St. or a Big South team
should get a seed over a 9-2 team out of the CAA. No team has
ever gone 9-2 in this conference and not gotten a seed. Keep
that in mind.
A game thanksgiving weekend should be against the Patriot or NEC
champ who we should handle pretty easily. They like to avoid
rematches if they can in the first round(s), so I don't think
we'd get Delaware or New Hampshire again. If we do, it'd clear
the committee tried to screw us deliberately.
If the following happens this weekend:
We beat Maine
South Dakota St. beats South Dakota (fairly likely)
JMU beats Elon (likely)
NAU beats Southern Utah (50/50)
I'd have a hard time seeing us not getting a seed. Weber St.
losing would help, but that's not likely. We should get that
final seed over one of Wofford or Weber St. in that case. I'd
have a meltdown if those teams with their cupcake
conferences/schedules get seeds over us.

this is great because i feel its all too often we are on the
other side of the argument- that we won our conference- and now
we finally in one sport can argue that SoS should be rewarded.
a true sign of progress for SB Athletics.

With that Hail Mary win, do we have the resume to host next
week? I think we lost our chance for seed. But I don’t
think we will be traveling first round, phew.

Just gotta wait to see how the day finishes.
I still believe the CAA is deserving of two seeded teams. That
leaves only JMU/SBU as candidates

I'm not ruling out a seed either. We didn't look good today, but
with some chaos I think we could still snag one. Other teams
haven't had their best games either at various points this
season. Here are the games to watch:
Southern Illinois @ Western Illinois - WIU up 21-0 right now.
WIU was in the running for a seed and could get one depending on
how things shake out. Lets assume WIU wins this one.
Idaho State @ Weber State - Weber at home and is favored. They
have a D2 win, and I don't think their resume is/was as good as
ours, but at 9-2 they could steal our seed. based on eye test
and us looking weak today. Hope for the Idaho St. upset. Though
they could still win and not get a seed.
Northern Arizona @ Southern Utah - A Southern Utah win gets them
the Big Sky autobid and (IMO) guarantees them a seed. Lets hope
NAU can pull off the upset. NAU is a good team and could do it.
Wofford @ South Carolina - Wofford is often listed as a seed,
but their resume is weaker than ours and would be weaker than
several other 9-2/8-3 teams. They've needed overtime to beat
weak Big South and SoCon teams. If they get a seed over any of
these other teams listed I'd be legitimately upset. I don't
think they should get one, but if they play USC close, they may
be able to snag/keep a seed.
Monmouth @ Kennesaw St. - KSU up 38-21 right now. With enough
chaos, the winner of this game would be the Big South champion
and at 10-1 could get a seed. I don't think they will, but they
could. Both teams should be in the playoffs with all the losses
by CAA bubble teams today.
South Dakota State @ South Dakota - SDSU up 17-14 right now. I
think the winner of this game will get a seed for sure, but if
USD wins, both could get seeds (USD has a h2h win over WIU and
would be seeded over them). I'm rooting for South Dakota St. as
they're already a seed in most projections and a win here knocks
South Dakota out of the seed picture at 7-4. SDSU was the only
team this year to beat NDSU.
Abilene Christian @ Central Arkansas - UCA is a top 4 seed in
most projections, and this game shouldn't be close. But under
the 0.00001% chance Abilene Christian wins, that should knock
Central Arkansas out of the seed picture. The Southland is a
joke and is overall arguably weaker than the Big South. A couple
great teams up top, but trash at the bottom.
Elon is out of the seed picture after the blowout loss to JMU
today.

UD and UNH losses didn’t do them any good and didn’t help us
either to make our loss and win against them look better. CAA
not gonna send 5 teams anymore but 3 teams locked and UNH mighg
get in based on other results.
