That projected SOS of 66 in Massey hurts. Worst projected SOS of any CAA team other than ineligible Delaware at 68.
Hope a gaudy record would be enough to still get the bye.
(Just for funsies looking at the Patriot, Holy Cross has a projected SOS of 62 and Colgate at 69. Fordham is at 77 and the rest are in the 80s and 90s.)

“9. To say Richmond players have stepped up this season is an understatement. The CAA leader (8-2, 6-0) has been boosted by transfers from smaller FCS conferences, including running back Zach Palmer-Smith (Wagner, NEC) as its leading rusher and scorer, linebacker Carter Glassmyer (Saint Francis, NEC) its leading tackler and place-kicker Brandon Peskin (Fordham, Patriot League) its No. 2 scorer. The No. 11 Spiders will clinch at least a share of the conference title with a win at Hampton.”
