It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

At-Large Breakdown:
Locks(7):
NDSU
Chattanooga
Richmond
UND
UCA
YSU
Villanova
In with a win(4):
Wofford- With a win they are 8-3 with a win over Chattanooga...they are in.
Samford- With a win they are 8-3 with wins over Wofford and UCA...Firmly in.
Winner of Maine/UNH- CAA playin game.
Cal Poly- Great schedule, wins against Montana and SDSU...They are in if they beat UNC.
Likely in with a win(1):
Montana- The Griz don’t have a great resume but 7 DI wins and their stadium($$$) will probably be enough to get them in.
Potential Bid Stealer:
UT Martin- Can Clinch OVC autobid by beating JSU, would make the OVC a two bid league.
Fighting for two spots:
That brings me down to the last two spots. UNI, WIU, Albany, Weber State and ISUR. Resumes….
UNI(5-5)
Quality wins: Iowa State. WIU
Bad Losses: @USD?
-No real horrible loss and a win over SDSU would give them a solid resume...Very strong non-conference schedule
WIU(6-4)
Quality wins: NIU
Bad losses: None
-WIU did lose to both UNI and ISUR...the necks have lost 3 of their last 4 games
ISUR(6-5)
Quality wins: Northwestern, SDSU and WIU
Bad losses: EIU, ISUB and @USD?
-That EIU loss is a headscratcher but two really nice wins over NU and SDSU.
Albany(6-4)
Quality wins: Buffalo and UNH?
Bad losses: Delaware
-The Danes also beat NEC champ St. Francis...If UNH loses to Maine their resume is rather lacking.
Weber State(6-4)
Quality wins: Cal Poly
Bad losses: @USD
-Almost all of these teams had issues with USD so I’m not sure how much that hurts them. Cal Poly is a nice win with Weber but outside of that there isn’t much there. Weber missed playing Montana and EWU in conference play.
I think UNI would have the strongest resumes if both at 6-5. ISUR needs some help with their bad losses. That leaves the last spot and it could really go anyway. I put Weber in my bracket but I could see Albany getting selected with their FBS win and potentially WIU as well who has no bad losses and an FBS win. ISUR again needs a lot of help.
Bubble Fringe: UNC, NCAT, Fordham
-If chaos ensues maybe one of these three gets another look but they need a ton of help

NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
is it possible SHSU is legit?
I said UNI wouldn't get in with a win, but the way everything is going to today, they are in if they win.
Also with schools like Montana and WIU losing, I could see NCAT getting in even though they had to lose to get here. YSU might have moved up to a seed thanks to Richmond and UNI can figure out a way to win. UN_ has locked in a seed and they aren't going to be 8.
