How you beat bad teams matter. Not just for everything that has been listed, but rankings. Especially this year and going forward where BOTH the coaches poll and media poll count towards playoff seeding. Being in the top8 matters in the FCS because those schools get a bye in the first round. Being in the top4 matter because you get home field advantage through the quarterfinals. All of those things adds up. A big part of why the Hornets got the second seed last year because they crushed almost all of the bad teams they played against. If they were squeezing by schools like they did in 2019, then it’d be closer to 8 and possibly falling out of seeding and having to play in the first week.
