There's a geographic component, but a bye is a bye. We'd likely
be looking at playing the winner of a CAA vs Patriot/NEC first
round game anyhow. Like an Elon vs Lehigh type of game. Remember
Elon winning this weekend means they'd be taking away a seed
that would likely go to us if we win and Southern Utah/South
Dakota loses.

i meant other than the bye, but yes. my point is it's not as if
1 plays 16, and 2 plays 15, full stop. it's possible that 2
plays 12 in a given year, because of mileage.

Absolutely. I think that's utter bullcrap and that needs to
change, but it's just the way the FCS playoffs currently are.

The bye week is a big deal. Getting that needed two week break
is huge if you want success in the playoffs. Has anyone won the
Championship without the Bye week? I haven't looked into it
myself, but from the AGS board I saw multiple posters say that
no one has pulled it off yet. I know we may not go deep in the
playoffs but Its favorable nonetheless
Its good being able to tell your recruits that you compete at a
high level and can make it deep into the playoffs.\
EDIT: Just saw your second post about the geographic
implications. You are right. The way the FCS does it it's kinda
crappy. The try to keep it regional to save on costs... The FCS
doesn't draw too many fans to make up for the costs.

It's so dumb though. If you're good enough to make it to the
playoffs, you probably give enough of a damn about athletics to
be able to afford another plane ride or two so your teams can
compete. These are D1 institutions after all, many of them state
flagships. D2 or D3 going regional I understand, but D1 should
be seeded in descending order regardless of where they are. If
that means San Diego having to fly to Harrisonburg to play JMU,
then so be it. They already fly their team all over the country
in the Pioneer league anyway. Geography should only be a
component if the teams are very comparable in strength.

Go SB. Reality check this team should be 10-0 and now they
have to go play Maine coaches we need a game plan this is not
pop Warner these young men are not in high school and you can't
keep running those same play's for the last 3 years ive been
following this team you coaches went from 5 play's to 7 thats
not going to work you are about to go up against the best so you
need to play your best for example #3 good punt returner why is
he not returning kickoffs your running back 21 who wears that C
on his jersey please explain to us what that C stands for. your
tightens how could you coaches get mad at these guy when they
drop passes. they don't get the ball thrown there way in
practice go figure Coach P i also noticed in your 100 yard walks
that you never mention that DEFENSE. the liegon of wolf's.
PEOPLE. Some food for thought your team is only as good as the
coaches who coach team. COACHES. are you really a leader's or
a pretender

I don’t get the negativity right now. Yes there are times
we all gripe at the coaches... for legit reasons.. no doubt.
This is not the time. We were picked to be 8th in CAA in the
preseason poll. Now we are going to the playoffs and with some
help might even be CAA champion. You can’t say it’s
all players and we have been lucky...and coaches are holding us
back. Give me a break. Our coaches may not be the finest in FCS
but definitely deserve the credit for competing hard in one of
the hardest FCS conferences. It’s time to celebrate and
get behind our players and coaches with our 100%. Enjoy the
success.
Go Seawolves

What's really is a major issue is the lack of transparency in
the program...
You get a lot of mis directions & not the truth....
Gowins wasn't used in the game due to the coaching staff didn't
think he was effective & it was stated they didn't see him as a
RB for 2018. He had a mild injury early in the season & when
this staff makes there mind up you get no 2nd chances...
Gowins has shown improvement in his running game by showing more
explosiveness & being more physical hitting the hole the last
couple games & he is by far the strongest running back we have.
Lointine & Gowins are both inside RB while Stacy is is more of a
big play outside runner. This team needs both on the field.
We gave up 121 yard of rushing to 1 RB for Wagner; Maine has a
1000 yard RB & is much more physical... this is going to be a
big issue for our D we have several players out hurt.
We need to use the short game & our TE RB SB in the passing game
get 1st down & control the clock Carbone got nailed several
times the line had a bad day; it's going to be 40 degrees a
rainy & these conditions do not favor the deep ball or speed off
the edge. Our front LT is out for the season & our line is
banged up; this will be a tough game.
It's going to come down to who is the better coach & who makes
the best adjustments in winning this game
Maine plays the run very well; so inside running going to be
tough... If this staff believe they can walk into this game &
play SBU current style & win this game then it will be a long
day in Maine.
Wagner had 3 injuries to there D that change the aspect of this
game last week for SBU; until then it was not an effective game.
SBU Going to Maine your not going to have that flexibility;
Maine is will be ready to ensure we don't go to playoffs & they
have a much better team on the field then wagner.
This is a game that will fall on the staff & how well the put an
effective game plan together & who makes the better adjustment &
who puts there team on the attack mode on both side of the
ball......
I am going to church on Friday & i am praying for a great game
and a win..
WE have the players... put them in the situation & give them the
opportunity to make it happen & yes you do have good athletic
seniors on this team that can help make this happen w the
underclassmen.

i agree with iBO. when we left the Big South, we all knew how
hard it was going to be just to get .500 in the CAA.
and now, we've won all but one (we had a lead), won every other
game save USF (which we were competitive).
the CAA is *tough*. that's plainly evidenced by the # of bids.
whether you like the season, the coaches, or else, there is
clear progress. not to mention outpacing expectations with the
loss of ochi and hemphill, etc.
