If us and L-R win out don't see any way that doesn't flip the position.
I imagine L-R folks are in a west loving mood (pulling for West Florida and West Georgia in the next two weeks).
O.K. so answer me this. L.R. will end up with 11-0 record.
VSU hopefully, will end up with a 10-0 record. You think NCAA would give us the bye week?

Unless things have changed, the margin of victory (or loss) doesn't play into these rankings.
You can see the links to the data down at the very bottom of the rankings page.

It appears this came down to the hundredths of a decimal.

Yeah, maybe, but that still doesn't warrant a drop because of a bye. Maybe I'm not understanding something.
The only other possible explanation is they used the eye test and decided LR was better. I imagine VSU fans will prefer the above explanation haha.

This actually does make sense statistically, which seems to be what they're mostly using for these rankings. LR has wins over 3 top 10 regional teams Valdosta has 1. LR also has one more win overall and one more win in the region. Its important to remember these rankings are based on just this year, not last. I suspect with wins Valdosta will jump back to the number 1 spot.
Another conversation though is, if they don't, thats huge. Facing ya'll in Hickory would be great, and that bye is important too. Not saying we would have won last year, ya'll were clearly the better team, but our guys were gassed in that game. Ya'll made some ridiculous plays on your early drives that kept them going, and our guys just gave up. That bye would be huge and is something us in Hickory have thought is vital to having a shot at winning SR2.
Edit: As VSU fans will likely want to keep an eye on this, and may be unfamiliar with LR's schedule, the Virginia Union-Virginia State game this weekend will have a large impact on SOR as LR has a double digit win on the road against Virginia Union.Last edited by BearsLRU; 11-05-2019, 11:56 AM.

LR, at this point, has a stronger strength of schedule. Plus, VSU has the out of region game with Ohio Dominican.

Originally posted by Bearhof View PostI think Valdosta will probably get the one seed back if they win the last two reg. Season games. LR has beaten three top seven rated region two teams but we finish with two teams with losing records so that could be a problem for staying at one.
I'd like West Georgia to beat Delta this weekend to help our SOS (beating Delta is pretty tough at Delta).
Are a lot of really good teams in SR2 and beyond. Anyone that's going to make a long run to finish the season had better be playing at their highest level from here on out.

I remember last year I was very concerned about L-R coming to play us. They came in at 12-1. We beat them 61-21. What I remember most is that in the second quarter we broke them down. It was the ultimate win.
