The CAA is seen as a bit of a paper tiger conference, with teams able to rack up gaudy records without necessarily having to face many other good teams because there’s so many schools.
Mercer has a good defense and did beat the next three best teams in SoCon. Incarnate Word and Spiders might well be 8 & 9
I want a top 8 seed as bad as anyone. I think Spiders get the nod over UIW, but haven't made it easy with that loss to Wofford and 3 point wins over 3 bad teams.
So when they give out awards it's co-chamos, but when they hawk merc it's champions.
If I was a URI fan, I personally wouldn’t buy any of these merchandise. I would have some pride in myself understanding it’s ridiculous to have a 1 loss team claim a championship when another team went undefeated and beat the same team you lost too.
Those of you talking down the PL better hope like hell we take this one. CAA champ vs PL champ. Last time they beat us.
I can count but thanks. Still a chance to see how their best stacks up against our best. I like our chances but you've got to play the game.
So we get bypassed for top 8 and a bye. That’s a load of bs. We deserved a bye. Now just need to play like yesterday, and we’ll be fine. So CAA gets 4 in and several seeds. Our future home gets one and not a seed. That speaks volumes about future expectations as the way CAA is viewed relative to PL. Not to say down the road PL might not be a decent intermediate and long term landing spot. But my guess is over the next few years we probably need to win that league to get bid. No doubt that FCS football runs through MVC and Big Sky.
If we win, Moscow is a fun little college town and the campus is pretty (much nicer than Cheney, for those of you who made the trip to EWU). As far as indoor playing fields go, the Kibbiedome is pretty nice. It's bright, opposed to a lot of dark indoor facilities, seats about 15K.
