Around the FCS: Playoff Implications

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Towson (6-4) is beating (8-2) UNH 64-35, and should win. That knocks UNH from seed contention, and makes the CAA autobid a clusterf*ck as 6 teams could be tied at 5-2 in conference play, although ODU is ineligible for the CAA autobid.

Lehigh (9-1) is holding a narrow 23-21 lead over Lafayette midway through the 3rd Q. If Lehigh loses, they are definitely out. If they win, they still might not make it, but could sneak in keeping a 4th place Big Sky, CAA, or MVFC team out.

NDSU (9-1) is trailing Illinois State (8-2) 20-17 in the 3rd. NDSU losing would bump us up one spot in the seeding race.

In a shocking score, Wofford (8-2) is tied 7-7 with #9 BCS South Carolina with 2 minutes left in the 3rd Q. Normally I'd love Wofford to win, but if they do they would be a lock for a seed, probably a higher one than EWU. We need them to lose.

Richmond (7-3) is up 21-7 at half over William & Mary. They should be in with a win.

Indiana State (6-3) is tied with YSU 3-3 with about 5 minutes to play before half. ISU is on the bubble as it is, and would definitely be out with a loss.

Towson won 64-35. UNH will not be a seed. No idea who the CAA autobid will be now.

Lehigh is up 31-21 against Lafayette with 10:20 in the 4th. They might squeak in, unfortunately.

NDSU is up 31-20 over ISU now after a BS PI call on 3rd and goal from the 3 that fell incomplete. NDSU scored the TD, then stripped ISU at midfield on the ensuing drive, and scored another TD a few plays later. hno: 9 minutes left in the game.

Brawl of the Wild is starting, and I don't have Root. No stream up yet either. hno:

MSU held on (obviously).

But JMU is up 21-10 on ODU, with 5:23 left in the 2nd Q. Let's go Dukes! If ODU loses, our #2 or #3 seed chances get that much better.
