  • SR2 Playoffs Selection Committee

    So, will SR2 have a new playoff selection committee appointed for next year, and are there any needed requirements or qualifications for being on this committee?

    What qualifications are you looking for? Other than coaches and ADs? Because that's what the committee is made up of. Idk how often it changes.

    Anthony Bennett Fayetteville State CIAA- Athletic Director Mike Clowney Carson-Newman SAC- Head Football Coach
    Gabe Giardina Albany State (Georgia) SIAC- Head Football Coach
    Brett Gilliland West Alabama GSC- Head Football Coach
    Monica Gordy Polizzi Lenoir-Rhyne SAC- Associate AD
    Dr. Alvin Parker Virginia Union CIAA- Head Football Coach
    Reggie Ruffin Tuskegee SIAC- Head Football Coach
    Dave Scott West Florida GSC- Athletic Director

    And before people start (not you Eagle but others) people who are representing a certain school have no say in their team getting in and leave the room when their team is discussed.

      And I'm not arguing, genuinely curious what you think.

        The committee has no power to change the selection criteria, so changing who's on the committee wouldn't do much.

          In being a part of a Division 2 regional playoff selection committee, most people would believe their goal would be to select the very best and most deserving teams in the region, with the only consideration being for conference champions (even if they're not a part of the very best teams) to be included.

          If you have just an average level of knowledge about the overall multi levels of football being played within the region, I believe it wouldn't be that hard to figure which conferences / teams are strongest, and which teams would represent the region best in moving forward in the playoffs. Thus, most deserving. Honestly most SR2 fans know that this is not rocket science, and potential agendas other than selecting the very best and most deserving teams should be completely off the table during making selections.

          Imagine the FBS selection committee actually selecting the Sun Belt's second place team with 2 losses, University Of South Alabama over the SEC's 2 loss teams, Alabama or Tennessee, or even other 2 loss FBS teams such as USC or Clemson?

          Now I really like Fayetteville State University, which I've had family and friends not only attend, but also play for the Broncos, but to believe that FSU, a 2 loss CIAA team, was more deserving than a 2 loss GSC West Georgia team, to me, clearly shows that selections were not based on the best and most deserving. Just look at what happened when FSU played Delta State and loss 51-0 (and it could have been even worse), and to realize that the unselected team West Georgia defeated that same Delta State team (which defeated West Florida) just doesn't make much sense. While they had a great season and should be commended, the same absolutely applies to a 2 loss Limestone College SAC team being selected over a much stronger 2 loss West Georgia GSC team. Hopefully next season teams selected will be based on merit, strength, and capabilities of representing the SR2 moving forward into the playoffs.

            This might be the first time in several years that I agree with Eagle 74. The seeding process was also not good
