Is there a playoff ranking for FCS? I know they do one for FBS playoffs the last few weeks of the season.

Probably not cause they have to get the bid winners to host figured out 1st

Doesn't answer the playoff inclusion question. However one can take a look at Massey and see how things are shaking up. Not that it needs mentioning but obviously remove Princeton and Dartmouth. Why they decline the chance to play for a championship I do not know.

Side note, NCAT needs to get out of their weak conference and go to the SoCon. They are good, but you beat up a bunch of weaklings nobody knows how to rank you, in short nothing has been proved. Massey's rankings reflect that.

I would expect ISU and SHSU to drop out of the STATS FCS top 25 Poll. UNI and WIU should move up into the top 25.

There is some shuffling around, but unless I missed it those two were the glaring ones that need to be dropped.

So:

UNI: 5-4 #1SOS good wins SDSU, ISUr....no bad loses.
WIU 5-4 #2SOS good wins Montana, UNI...no bad loses.

I am pretty sure the committee, internally, makes use of the Simple Ratings System (SRS) in making their determination of who gets in. Here is the NCAA SRS ranking from last year:

I also think the system described by link below is probably very close to what the NCAA uses in computing their SRS. If history repeats itself, we won't see it until after the pairings are announced.

Western number 9 Seal? Now we're cooking with gas!

The playoff committee released their top 10 last week (for games up to before this last weekend). Here's how that looked:



But really, I don't think it matters much to us at this point. We have to win our last two. We lose one, that's it.

Yup, Lawson, we gonna take it nice 'n' easy 2004 Boston style.

Easy peasy....you guys never won a game before or want to win a game? Just win tonight, If you believe in yourself all you need to do is win tonight.

Nobody believed they could win four games in a row....they didn't. Coach told them all he wanted was one Damn win. Next game it's a 50/50 shot, it's gut check time all you need is one win. This is a tremendous play/live in the moment formula. Don't mind fu*k yourself to think you need to go out and win 4 games in one night.

I'm not a BOSOX fan but, that is one of my favorite sports memories.

Number 9 LAST YEAR. The NCAA does not release the complete current year rankings (except for the top 10 teaser) until after pairings are announced.
