Three games, besides our own, that I will be paying close attention to this week, as they have major seeding implications:
Montana State v. Weber State
North Dakota v. South Dakota State
Sacramento State v. Montana
Four of these programs are currently ranked ahead of us. If the chips fall the right way, it's possible we could leapfrog some of them.
Winning out will all but guarantee us a seed (first round bye, second round home game). A top four seed also becomes a possibility.

I'm feeling a Rodney Dangerfield quote coming on. Chattanooga blows out VMI and leapfrogs us? Don't they know we were undefeated this weekend? Bulletin board material for our Lafayette game! Not sure how we move up in Stats and move down in the Coaches Poll. Guess we can't put too much stock in it until the end of the season.
Observations: The disparity between 6 and 9 is not too great, but I wonder what some of these coaches think about Jackson State and Chattanooga's strength of schedule (ours too I suppose). The disparity for Fordham between 16 and 23 is more statistically significant. If I were the Rams, I would be gearing up to prove a point in two weeks. I am surprised at Elon. One loss to an FBS program and one loss to a ranked Rhodie team. Is the CAA that much weaker than the OVC (UT Martin), Big Sky (Idaho) or the Southland (3 loss S.F.A. or the MVFC (NDSU, SE IL). While I think NDSU is certainly a better team than Elon, I can't imagine a win over W&M and 31 points against at an SEC opponent don't mean anything. Oh well! Also of note, undefeated UNH finally cracks the Stats poll but is no better than 30 in the Coaches Poll. They very likely, with a win vs. Elon (which will be tough considering Elon is smarting from the Rhode Island loss) clinches at least a share of the CAA title for UNH. Elon, W&M, Richmond, and Delaware could all be looking at at-large berths.
Let's beat the Pards and go undefeated this week.

Let's beat the Pards and go undefeated this week. I want to one up this just a bit. Let's shut them out. It is hard to stand out by scoring a lot of points (people assume the other team was really bad or that you were running it up) but you can make them notice by allowing zero points.
