Now this is interesting. An interest in the FCS playoffs
Do you think Lewis will be a All American...........even 1st team?
They probably saw that asu game and want to see more first before they put them in.I saw another FCS poll this week that had UAPB at #25 (if I find it I'll post it). Which does beg the question, why isn't UAPB ranked in this poll??
Perhaps, but that game never even made it to halftime. ANYTHING could have happened, and ASU has a good defense so it's not odd to see UAPB struggle offensively out of the gate. Meanwhile, there was already a H2H matchup between UAPB and Southern that was won quite decidedly.They probably saw that asu game and want to see more first before they put them in.
YUP ... the Sports Network/STATS Top 25 ... been biased towards playoff participating conferences ...Perhaps, but that game never even made it to halftime.

I tend to dislike these polls because they continuously are very biased a) against the SWAC because we opt-out of playoffs, b) against HBCUs, and c) against non-traditional powerhouse teams. I think heightened exposure has had a considerable affect this year with games on national TV, but it's easy to see the bias at play.
And I'm not ragging on SU. I saw another FCS poll that didn't have either SU nor UAPB in it, but put a 4-5 Austin Peay at #25. Seriously?

Yea the voters probably saw pb struggle against valley so they most likely reserved there judgement on ranking them.Perhaps, but that game never even made it to halftime.

From what I'm hearing those two being Southern and pb might be in the championship because of games played and there being the best two teams.gotta be. He leads the nation in sacks.
But if UAPB runs the table ... and Southern wins out ... does this mean a shot at an at-large bid

From what I'm hearing they're possibly picking the best 2 teams due to games played and record. With cancellations, for only this spring they may do away with division play.the SWAC scrapped divisional play?
You need to find some new sources, because that ain't never happening.From what I'm hearing those two being Southern and pb might be in the championship because of games played and there being the best two teams.
I'm just putting it out there, if it happens don't be surprised.You need to find some new sources, because yhat ain't never happening.

The Swac need to be putting the info out there now that there may be a Swac team that is not committed to the SCG available for the FCS playoffs. Don't wait till the last minute, let those voters know now that it could happen.
AAMU's last 3 regular season games are all against Eastern division teams (JSU, ASU, and MVSU). If those games occur there is no debate. If we don't win them all it will go to who has the best conference record in the East. If we have to cancel anymore games that is not our fault. AAMU has tried to schedule makeup games. We've reached out to other SWAC teams to play and they declined for various reasons, and the SWAC office can't blame anybody but themselves for not being proactive.How can the SWAC justify putting AAMU in the championship game with zero or only one SWAC win versus a team with muliple conferwence wins? One may argue that it is not AAMU's fault that the pandemic caused those cancellations, but neither is it the fault of anyone else.
