    I don't recall who it was years ago on the board that proposed the idea of giving all conference champs an AQ, then taking the best teams regardless of conference next. It was a neat idea but IDK of any "plan" that makes everyone happy.

That goes for any conference in D2. I think Fayetteville state was given the po spot and did not earn it. I also have the same issue with Limestone.
      who/what determines what conference has better teams in a given year? I will admit I don't all the in and outs of the playoff selection but should the fourth best team in conference really be rewarded with a playoff birth. I could see top 3.

        This weekend (In SR2) should give us a clear picture of who deserves to be there. One of them ain't gonna be pretty, maybe both.

              Winner of the Delta State-West Florida game (and yes, they will meet) will ultimately win the region and head to the national semifinals. That's what the smart money says.

              And look for Benedict to lose to the winner of the VUU-Wingate game. Paper tiger down there in Columbia.

                One of those losses for Limestone was the season opener against D1 Gardner-Webb. Does not count toward their numbers as far as entry to the playoffs.

                  West Georgia had a 1 point loss to MC and lost outright to W Fla, but finished the season with 5 straight wins, including a strong win over Delta.

                  Regardless, I’ll be deer hunting all weekend cause my team has a bye for the rest of the season.


                  That makes two of us hunting. I’m trying to bag a nice 8 point but he seems to only come out at night. Hopefully the rut will bring him to me. Good luck to you and the GSC.

Everyone talks about the Mississippi loss, but until the commissioner and institutions fix this scheduling problem you will see unnecessary shortfalls again given the mathematical formulas. Also, an eleventh game regional win would have probably put West Georgia in the show.

                    I’m not convinced the right person is in the seat in Birmingham.
                    At one time our AD was on the SR2 selection committee. That always helps, I am sure Delta State would not want to see us again.

                        Didn’t realize Va. Union was that much over rated. Figured Fayetteville was and I would be surprised if Benedict makes it close in there game coming up. Its apparent and shows how the selection committee does not care about the seven best teams they just want participants from all conferences regardless of whether they leave out a better team. To me this solidified my opinion for eight teams and no bye in each region. Regional would have been better with west ga and Newberry involved. Take out Fayetteville and Limestone and add Mars Hill or LR.

                          If you look back over the last 10 years, the GSC teams usually represent SR2. Look at the scores today, UWF and Delta State destroyed their opponents. Any year the top 3 GSC teams should be in the playoffs.

                            This is why regionalization is terrible. D2 would have a much better playoff product by putting the best teams in the field.

                            In FCS, conferences get an AQ and then the best teams get in at large in a national field. Last season, the Missouri Valley Football Conference had 6 teams in the playoffs and the Big Sky had 5 because their conferences are so strong.

                              I don't see how an 8th team argument does anything. How does adding yet another team to get blown out help lol.

                                If you did that for this year, gave AQ to Champs, I still think 80% of your current playoff field is the same teams. Right? Maybe more?

                                People would still find something to complain about regardless because then there would be 4 MIAA and 3 GSC and 3 Gliac teams etc. Youd just have a lot more 2 bid leagues become 1 theoretically.
