This is almost unreal. Of course the minimum number of games is not exactly a firm number as Ohio State's situation showed earlier this academic year. FYI, FBS football is not run by the NCAA like FCS is.... Also the Ohio State situation did not involve the NCAA or the FBS or the CFP. It was simply a 2020 Big 10 rule that required a team to play six games to compete in the Big 10 title game. Had they not played in the championship, Ohio State would still have been eligible for the FBS playoffs – but it is unlikely they would have received a bid.

I'm as big a fan as anyone but I'm just not keen on FCS playoffs where you could play up to 4 more games (assuming 'you're in it to win it') - I favor playing out the season including championship weekend and call it a season then. Sep 4th is around the corner for football coaches

This would likely happen in football with a week between games too

Nothing definitive as of this morning....talk of playing Lafayette or Bucknell. I think both Lehigh and Colgate are closing up shop for now.

Sep 4th is around the corner for football coaches I can see both arguments. HC football has done a remarkable job protecting it's students so far compared to many schools.

Kind of a moot point about playing 2 more games when there's nobody to play ONE against.

I’m hearing that Lehigh is banged up but I have not heard that they are done for the season. If they are as banged up as I have heard, a week off might enable them to play Lafayette on the 17th or 18th which would allow us to pencil in Lafayette this weekend while keeping the Lehigh-Lafayette tradition alive.

...but has Bucknell clinched the other division? Would Lafayette give up that chance to go to the post season?

Lafayete this Saturday could be a good move on a number of levels for a few of the teams. I imagine we will hear what is happening very soon. There are adjustments that need to be made.

If there are only two teams left in the North pod and they have already played each other and the South is decided, no reason to delay the title game if both teams are able to play this weekend.

Won't HC still need a game #4 (even with a win in a PL playoff championship)?

It's not my understanding that they will need a 4th game.

CBS may not want to change it if they are already committed to other events.

As a PL game, the league could likely substitute the PL Championship game

Hearing from my sources that the tentative plan is for HC to host Bucknell this weekend, day and time TBD.

If the game is on ESPN+ it will save a few hassles for some people. I wonder how the FCS playoffs will be televised/streamed?
