CAA TODAY: CAA vs. THE WORLD

The Colonial Athletic Association will try to become the first league to get two teams to an NCAA Division I Football Championship game with Villanova and Delaware attempting to reach the FCS title game in matchups with Eastern Washington and Georgia Southern
After selection Sunday, I struggled with writer’s block in coming up with a theme for that weekend.
I reached out to my son for a recommendation, and he responded with “Us (Villanova) vs. The World”.
Changing “Us” to “CAA” made it more inclusive of the entire conference.
While I liked the theme, it didn’t quite fit that weekend. However, now that we’ve reached the semifinals, and we have a CAA team on each side of the bracket, the entire CAA family can get behind Villanova and Delaware and cheer for an All-CAA National Championship final.

EWU and GSU might have something to say about that; that's why they play the game.

The world forfeits.
Nothing can contain, much less stop, the awesomeness that is the CAA.

Do Georgia Southern - Furman finals in 1985 and 1988 not count since it was I-AA and not "FCS" or something?

Uh, they don't count because Georgia Southern wasn't in the SoCon back then - they were independent until '92 or so. Aren't you a fan of a team from that conference? Would've thought you would've seen that in a media guide or two over the years.

First semi goes to "The World". Congrats to the Eagles from the "Big not so Fluffy".

Doesn't matter, GF, because Georgia Southern is not and never has been in the CAA.
