Whether or not the SoCon gets 3 at-large bids really depends on what happens elsewhere in FCS, something we have no control over.
In 2002, several games out west changed the playoff landscape in ways that worked against us (although we were a much better choice than ASU anyway).
Currently, the resumes of Wofford, Chatty, and Sammy are almost identical. If next week goes as anticipated (and Chatty ain't beating Bama and a ETSU win over Samford is extremely unlikely) we all share the following:
8-3 records
6-2 SoCon
No bad losses
1 sub-DI win each
1 OOC win each
The only real differences are that Sammy beat a good UCA team, we beat a middle-of-the-pack OVC team, and Chatty beat a cellar-dweller Big South team (PC).
At this point, the only reason Chatty will be ranked above us next week is last year's results.
If we win Saturday, most likely we will play CSU for a chance to restart our streak against The Citadel.
Does anyone have a link to this year's selection committee, I couldn't find it by google, bing, AGS search, or on the NCAA site (although I'm sure it's hidden there somewhere).
