Both EWU and NDSU have wins versus top 10 teams, just figured EWU would be #1.
1. Jacksonville St
2. Sam Houston St
3. Eastern Washington
4. North Dakota St
5. James Madison
6. The Citadel
7. Richmond
8. Chattanooga
9. Charleston Southern
10. Central Arkansas

I love the contrast between here and AGS. The corresponding thread to this one there now has 708 replies since November 3rd.

I listened to the interview with the committee chair on the Fargo station and the dude was all over the map. It's obvious that the committee hadn't spent much time on this but rest assured they will from now on...
The problem is they've seeded JSU and SHSU in positions where it's unlikely a move down will be justified by the members. Laziness and not good for the FCS brand. Every FCS A.D. should be on board with rewarding challenging OOC matchups not to menton SoS in general.

Tell 89 dont worry
The committee will stack the at large bids with plenty of MVFC and CAA schools - and they'll be sure to leave Wofford out

I gots no problem with it -- there are still 3 wks to go. Roll-out yer ol' cliches, boys. Pull up yer socks and tug on yer 'Cocks. Flip the coin, Bitches.
3 of the top 4 were semi-finalists last year, no reason to think things have changed much, and teams have 3 games to play themselves up and down (and in and out) before it all shakes out. Folks whine about the Committee (which does surprising well in spite of themselves). Internet legends in-their-own-minds troll about it, and NDSU wins, again.
It's not easy being in our rut.

The committee got it right, for the most part.
When EWU, at home, can't score more points than Abilene, then you know how soft that EWU team is.

In an interview, the committee chairman basically said they had not done their homework. So we don't know if they even saw the Abilene score.

I won't post all the stats again but it wouldn't be a shock at all to see Sam Houston State lose its seasonal finale vs. Central Arkansas. If you didn't see my previous post in another thread on this matter Look up the stats for the one game Central Arkansas lost against Samford. How they ended up on the short end of the score is beyond me.
Sam Houston State IS home for that game. But Central Arkansas might be a better football team than Sam Houston State is. Very balanced on offense. Solid offense and strong defense.

What is wrong with Kupp he should starting out like a house on fire unless teams have figured out how to contain him which should allow his teammates single coverage of course.

The Black man is holding Kupp down.
