UCA beat a likely seeded SHSU team and a McNeese team that looks to be safely on the right side of the bubble. If they're gonna put JSU in front of NDSU they should put UCA in front also. So why do Haley and Izzo think the committe will jump UCA but not JSU (both were ranked in front of NDSU in the committee's last ranking release)? How it should be is NDSU at 2, UCA at 3, and JSU at 4.
But then you have JSU's AD on the selection committee.....
I know... he has to leave the room when they officially discuss his team but he was on the committee last year too when they overseeded JSU. If they do it again this year there's no denying the trend here.
