The fact that some on this board don't want to acknowledge is that if HC had the same everything but was a member of the CAA there'd be serious consideration for a spot. The PL is an athletic anchor. It's sad that it basically has to be a miracle for a second team to get a spot in the playoffs. IMO, I think HC will get passed by today. The Harvard loss will do them in. Not nearly as damaging as the Lafayette loss.

If HC had played and beaten Bryant and Monmouth, instead of losing by 3 to BC and Army ? Would we be in ?

At 9-2 we would still have 0 ranked wins (although Yale tried hard and might still sneak in at 25). Monmouth would be a halfway decent win but...I would lump a 9-2 HC with NC Central. Our SoS in that scenario would be back to PL usual (ie not good)

I thought a ranked win is a win against a ranked team when the game is played

I thought a ranked win is a win against a ranked team when the game is played Lou, there are two types of ranked wins. "Then-ranked" and "now-ranked" wins. In theory they can be evaluated equally but from what I have read from Herder, etc., the committee values now-ranked wins more. Ultimately, who knows, right? Wish we could have been in that committee room.

JMO - The playoff committee should put a rule in place that four fcs losses = automatic elimination. I don't care what conference a team is in, finishing .600 against fcs competition is unimpressive.

They are showing CAA highlights from FloSports and the picture quality is terrible.
I see UIW has a watch party. Just don't buy their resume. Whatsoever. No SIU. No SIU. No Chattanooga

The reason it's over is because if we were to make it, we would have been paired with northeast teams like Villanova and Albany. NC Central is very, very skeptical.
Wonder what happens had W&M beat Richmond yesterday.
Oh well. Didn't do enough.

Lot of teams in this bracket that we would beat

Normally I would say I am not disappointed because of our records and the math going in. But I am not happy to see SIU, Youngstown in. I feel like the Big Sky posters wanting to pull auto-bids from the Pioneer and NEC a few years ago haha
I am assuming Del and Laffy are going to play with the winner heading to Furman.

Enough of the Missouri valley. 7th place in the conference gets you in. Also look at Youngstown schedule they have 1 win against a ranked team. Look who else they beat.

They just said Delaware the last team in...excuse me? Not Chattanooga or Youngstown or SIU?
I didn't expect to get in but am ticked off at a couple of these teams which got in in front of us. We are in a dead-end conference. Put it publicly on here. I am officially out as anti-Patriot League
