Seeing both teams play...I think this will be a hard choice.

No, they don't typically look at scores but...MSU has 2 losses by 1-point.

Plus, WT may have done a favor by winning because they have lost to Commerce and there is a high chance that they could lose to Midwestern.
Which is a rare common opponent amongst all teams...

However, this has been an incredible season to watch.

Goods, you realize if that FCS game the team took and cancelled out TAMUK is the reason that CWU misses out on the playoffs HOGGSVVR will be the happiest Javelina in Hogsville.

This comment makes me pi$$ed off...... because you're right. Haha

Yeah, I understand an FCS money game to open the season, but that puts us at a huge disadvantage now. As for the game at SBU, we're traveling halfway across the country for a game against a winless team who isn't even in our region. I know it's a D2 game, but what an expensive trip.

Hopefully the scheduling agreement goes through. 3 in region ooc games a year.

Re: Casual Observer's Regional Rankings by the Numbers - 10/29/2018

That stinks because that game was probably scheduled 2 years ago when SW Baptist was a 10-1 playoff team. I would be very upset right now if I was a CWU fan about the game vs Texas A & M Kingsville that was cancelled. If they had another DII in Region win they probably get in, but without it MSU - Texas as they are calling themselves these day will get in instead. MSU - Texas case will only strengthen with a win over West Texas as MSU-Texas and CWU will then have a common opponent.

Re: Casual Observer's Regional Rankings by the Numbers - 10/29/2018

so barring any crazy upsets, at this point it looks like the first round matchups will be MSU-Texas at Mines, TAMU-Commerce at Tarleton, and Pueblo at Duluth.

CWU schedule is killing them.
