    From what I’ve heard, it makes it difficult for those teams on the bubble.

    NC A&T is leading the MEAC. Would they turn down the Celebration Bowl this time?

    They're technically still tied with FAMU atop the MEAC standings and FAMU beat them head-to-head.

    FAMU lost to South Carolina St last Saturday but due to some bad blood between the MEAC and Hampton around Hampton's abrupt departure from the conference last offseason that FAMU/SCSU game didn't count against the conference standings. As I understand it was basically put in place as a conference mandated OOC game so Hampton wouldn't be able to schedule either team as an OOC game. It's complicated... but the bottom line is if FAMU beats Bethune-Cookman next weekend they get the Celebration Bowl invite.

    Oh dang. I should've looked more into that. That takes away a spot.

    I don't know what you want me to say, the FCS isn't very deep this year. I like those teams and then there are a few teams that I could make a case for Towson, Delaware, Maine, Elon, Nicholls, UCD and maybe Colgate(depending on how their FBS game shakes out). That said a lot of these teams have had some clunkers, only NDSU has a sterling resume which is kind of bizarre.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    Haley's bracket echos what I mentioned early, beware of how seeding affects the bracket...NDSU-SDSU-EWU overloaded on one side...

    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    Simply thecalling UNI or whoever is 4th 5th 6th on you MVFC list “mediocre” isn’t an argument for keeping them out of the playoffs.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    The committee likes to "spread the wealth" when it comes to the seeds. Which is why I don't see SDSU getting the 2 seed.
