And they wonder why we don't even bother to participate.

That's what happens when you have a preseason poll. Two losses don't get you all the way out if you start off in the top ten. It's the same way with the AP and coaches' poll in I-A.

Whether or not the SWAC participates in the playoffs has no bearing. The SWAC is down this year, primarily because the two bellcows are down. Whether or not they're down enough for somebody else to win the conference remains to be seen.....

The two top teams are down but the parity in the conference should make for an interesting finish. I don't think there will be any dominant team this year.

 

["NOISE TALKA"]

They may have been losses against QUALITY teams. Now if it were 5 or 6 losses that would be one thing, but 2 losses to quality opponants.... especially if they were close games. It's two early in the season to put them out because they have no wins. lol. They could finish 10-2.

 

[bluedog]

And who do you think make the judgement of whats a quality team. Btw don't you think I aready checked that out?

I have had the opportunity to see Georgia Southern play. Folks, I don't believe no one in I-AA will beat them this year.
