Once again, a "top team" doesn't play the 3 best teams in their own conference. In this case, UNH doesn't play Richmond, James Madison and Delaware.

One auto-bid sewn up. Congrats UNH. And you don't even need Iona this year!

I know we haven't played well this year...but understand this...

UNH is our blood rival...if we beat UNH, a year is not a total loss...

And we have the talent to upset them...hope that doesn't upset you IF WE DO...

Ah yes - the 'tough' CAA, where one gets to duck all the tough teams.

Yes, we do. It'd guarantee we'd be in the playoffs every year.
























Wait. Let me rephrase that....

I'm not ready to put Delaware in the top 3. They have lost to two good teams, but they are still losses just the same.

Also, what do non CAA supporters care about how the CAA awards it's auto bid.

It's not just the auto-bid - it is the at-larges that get eaten up...

I think the schedule evens out though. A CAA team is just as likely to play the top three CAA teams as it is to avoid them.

I think every CAA team that has made the playoffs recently has deserved to be there. It is a strong conference with a lot of teams.

I rather Delaware play in an 8 team conference and play everyone else, but that is not my call.

Same here...I'd rather have a smaller conference...but what is, is...

Jon, if NAU was in the CAA South this year, you think you'd make the playoffs?????

CAA North, yes, with Neastern, Hofstra, Maine and URI - yes.

CAA South, maybe.

the big sky conf champion will be either montana or eastern washington and both will goto the playoffs haha. yep....the big sky is a great conf!

I would love for the Griz to be in the CAA. It just sucks that one doesn't get to play all the conference foes every year.

Are you talking about the same NAU team that just dodged the bullet known as Southern Utah?

Yup - just like UCD, a win is a win.

Yes, UCD IS a win, and would smoke NAU by 21.

In your opinion. Which, as a griz fan, is worthless

Dbackjon, don't lump all Griz fans in with AZ. He doesn't speak for all of us.














NAU would lose by at least 30.

Good thing you are still in the "Grizaholic picked me up at the airport so I have to be nice to him" month

Fvck, jon, NAU doesn't even know who their fricking QB is!!!

how would you feel if the SoCon gave it's auto-bid to someone who didn't play App/Furman/GaSouthern?

Point is, there have been years where your conference has given it's auto-bid to a team that may/may not have deserved to even be in the playoffs b/c of their weak schedule.

What kind of record would you project UNH to have if they had to play:
