Re: Congrats to RMU, first team to clinch a spot in the play
My preseason pick to win the NEC AQ came through.
Now it should be interesting to see where the bracket falls out for them. They'll be in any game they play in the playoffs. You can bank on that.

Re: Congrats to RMU, first team to clinch a spot in the play
I didn't think they had it in them, but this is a legit team. They will play with anyone, and I really expect a win!
Likely first round opponents:
1) at Lehigh
2) at UMass
3) at Liberty
I really hope they get to play someone other than Liberty - not because I think they won't win, just because I hate the rematch. I hope the NCAA doesn't do it.

That's a very underrated team in Moon Township! Congratulations Colonials! Good team and a great coach!

Now, as you mention, you'd have to add Nova to the list of potential first round opponents.
In fact, I think its pretty likely you end up with Lehigh @ Liberty and RMU @ Nova in the 1st round with the winners to play at W&M and at Delaware respectively in the 2nd round.
That all assumes, of course, that Nova wins one of the last two.....which isn't going to be an easy task.

Re: Congrats to RMU, first team to clinch a spot in the play
Out of curiosity since RMU won the Auto Qualifying bid for the playoffs and are the #1 seed in the NEC, doesnt that mean they will host a first round game instead of going on the road?

They aren't the #1 seed. They won't be one of the 5 teams seeded and guaranteed a home game.SUUTbird wrote:Out of curiosity since RMU won the Auto Qualifying bid for the playoffs and are the #1 seed in the NEC, doesnt that mean they will host a first round game instead of going on the road?
They'll be playing in the 1st round. The 1st round will consist of 8 teams and whoever gets the home game will depend on the bids offered by the school. The schools in the first round and those in the 2nd round not playing against seeded teams will have to buy home games. that's the way the playoffs work.

I didn't pay attention to when he posted that. That's exactly what I'm thinking as to the matchups.danefan wrote:He wrote that before Nova lost to URI, assuming (as well did) that Nova wouldn't have been in the bottom 8.jcmanson wrote:

Re: Congrats to RMU, first team to clinch a spot in the play
Yep. I had 'Nova pegged as a seeded team (first round bye) before the URI loss.jcmanson wrote:I didn't pay attention to when he posted that. That's exactly what I'm thinking as to the matchups.danefan wrote:

I think we now will have RMU at 'Nova & Lehigh at Liberty.

Re: Congrats to RMU, first team to clinch a spot in the play
So a 2nd team clinched an automatic berth today...anyone wanna guess who?
Re: Congrats to RMU, first team to clinch a spot in the play
Actually, 2nd, 3rd and 4th and possibly 5th in a couple of hours.

At 8-2 and playing for a share of the Big Sky title next week, I think EWU is a lock at this point for at least an at-large.

Re: Congrats to RMU, first team to clinch a spot in the play
Yes. EWU had to lose out over the last two weeks for there to be ANY chance of getting stiffed. Even WITH ECB, I don't see any chance for shenanigans to keep the Eagles out.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
