So, it looks like we gonna have at-least one more pick'em? and while we are at it, I have been trying to see and hoping if there is a way that the NE10 will have 2 teams in the post season, with Bentley, but just couldn't find one.

Even if Bentley could get to the 7th spot [that's where Inkblot has them] they will get bounced by 'Earned Access' for a GMAC team. Right?

That was one scenario I was looking at, but Inkblot is not always correct. As of right now, the top two teams stay the same with Charleston and Kutztown, Cal and Slippery Rock might switch and the only reason I said might is because Cal has the head to head advantage over Slipper Rock even Slippery Rock has a better records than Cal does. In either case, the top 4 is locked in with Charleston, Kutztown, Cal and Slippery Rock. Now this is where it gets a little tricky from 5 to 7. With Finlay lost over the weekends and Ashland won plus Ashland has beaten Findlay convincedly earlier in the year, in my opinion, Finlay is out of the consideration for the post season. Now, with both Ashland and Bentley won, I don't know if Bentley could leap-frog Ashland? So I believe East Stroudsburg will replace Finlay at number 5 and New Haven will move up to number 6, although Inkblot has New Haven ahead of E. Stroudsburg. Like I said above, the 7th spot could go either way, Ashland or Bentley and you are correct that in any situation, the GMAC will get the final spot either Ashland is at number 7 or Bentley is at number 7 spot. So, the PSAC will have 4 and one each from the other conferences. This is only my opinion so we will see the final result later on today. I hope I could find a way for Bentley to get in, but I just don't see it happening unfortunately.

The best way for Bentley to get in the playoffs was not give up a 70 yd blocked FG for a TD vs Assumption.

New Haven was selected. They got the “number 5” and go back to Slippery Rock.

Ashland got the “number 7” spot. I’ll be curious if it was earned access.

If anyone wants to keep picking for the playoffs, I’m going to defer to IronOre who’s been running the LSC Pick’Em the last couple seasons. They’re doing all the games on a Google form, but you don’t need a Google account to do it. And yes, it’s going to be all the playoff games.

Good luck!
