The only thing in our control is to win the game and trust the process will work out to a 1 or 2 seed.

They have? Last year an undefeated SHSU was seeded below four different 1 loss teams. In 2015 undefeated McNeese was seeded below two 2 loss teams and a 1 loss team. I think they've been pretty good about not letting the SLC's inflated records influence their seedings. At least much better than the garbage national polls have been. Last year was the first time SHSU had been seeded since 2011.
If anyone has been habitually overseeded the last few years it's been JSU. They lost in 2014 and 2016 in their first playoff game as a #3 seed (and they could be headed down that same route this year).
Just doing a comparison of JVSU, UCA and NDSU using stats and sagarin....
JVSU
10-1, opponent sagarin ave 163
30.8 ppg offense...14.8 ppg defense.
3 FCS teams above and below 163...
Tenn Martin, Nichols, SELA, Maine, A Peay, Villinova
Combined record for these 6 of 33-27 as of last week.
Central Arkansas
9-1 opponent sagarin ave 179.
38 ppg offense ....18.9 ppg defense.
3 FCS above and below 179
Liberty, Chattanooga, Tenn St, Rhode Island, Albany, CCSU.
Combined record for this 6 of 27-34 as of last week.
NDSU
9-1. Ave Sagarin for opponents...138
40.9 ppg offense...12.8 ppg defense.
3 FCS above and below 138...
Wofford, Yale, Montana, Sac St, New Hampshire, McNeese
Combined record for this 6 of 45-14 as of last week.
Of course, if NDSU loses I guess it is moot.
Craig Haley on Kolpack and Izzo is confusing me. Yeah, he has Jax St above NDSU which makes no sense. But he just said that if JMU loses, they probably should stay #1. Huh?!!! So NDSU loses to a 10th ranked team or so, they drop 3 spots; but JMU would do the same and not drop?!!! Please 8 pound 6 ounce newborn infant baby Jesus, let the committee be smart on this one.
