Add suggestions to shift teams around. Next week I'll fill it out with much more info, pics, or whatever.

So SIX Caa teams... 1 Big Sky team huh? Well one thing is clear..... your an idiot.

Give a good reason why a Big Sky team gets in over JMU at the moment.

Yeah I have Montana in

UCA isn't eligible yet.

I would change out FAMU for SCSU and Elon for the Citadel and Holy Cross for Colgate.

I also think EWU will win their appeal and will get in over Montana State.

I wasn't sure about UCA.
What is it about SCSU that makes you so sure about that?
Elon is going to end up 8-3....not sure you'll be able to leave them out.
I guess we'll know the Colgate/Holy Cross answer on 10/24.

I'm not so sure, but having seen both FAMU and SCSU play, I think SCSU is a more well-rounded team. Their rushing attack will keep FAMU's only chance off the field (Pulley).

But there are two play-in games this year: 10/17 SCSU vs. FAMU and 10/24 Holy Cross vs. Colgate.

As for Elon, I think they'll end up at 7-4 with loses coming in the SoCon to the Citadel, App State and Samford.

Oh, then nevermind.

Here's my predictions:

Montana
Weber
Montana State
Richmond
Villanova
UMass
William & Mary
New Hampshire
UCA
McNeese State
Elon
Appalachian State
Colgate
Florida A&M
Northern Iowa
Southern Illinois

UCA isn't eligible yet. I think Stephen F. Austin will get an at-large out of the SLC (9-2 with loses to SMU and McNeese)

I would change out FAMU for SCSU and Holy Cross for Colgate.

I also think EWU will win their appeal and will get in over Montana State.

EWU 3-1
JMU 2-2
UNH has wins vs Dartmouth St Francis & Townson
UMass has wins over Stony Brook & Rhode Island

Nobody has proven anything.. so like I said, you are an idiot.

JMU was my last team in. I almost put in SCSU but I know MEAC will never get two teams and the committee seems to love CAA

Give the MEAC some love.

[JMU DJ]

EWU 3-1 with wins vs Western Oregon Portland State Sacramento State & Northern Colorado
JMU 2-2
UNH has wins vs Dartmouth St Francis & Townson
UMass has wins over Stony Brook & Rhode Island

Nobody has proven anything.. so like I said, you are an idiot.

Can't be biased in your post if you're going to chuckle at others schools schedules thus far. I'll give you the JMU thing, I understand this is Sly's opinion... but as of right now at this moment, I don't have them in. But I think your point is that what do UNH, UMass and other CAA teams have that says they should be in the playoffs over you? Not much, a couple of FBS wins... some "cupcake" games... but really not that much difference. To early to put out playoff predictions, need another couple of weeks.

Sly, JMU has a conference loss while some Big Sky schools are currently undefeated in the conference. That's one.

Makes sense to add Montana St or South Carolina St.

Eastern Washington will stay out until the ban is overturned. For now they are not playoff eligible.
