Feel free to expand on to this.
Big Sky
Cal Poly (8-3) You have an FBS victory , but your inability to step up against a single ranked team in the Big Sky is disturbing. It reinforces the low ranking in polls when you were unbeaten. People just weren't buying what you were selling.
NAU (8-3) You will have an FBS victory, but your are only 8-3 because you have the weakest schedule in the Big Sky. No Ranked team victories and choked againt SUU. You can also blame Montana for having a bad year.
MVFC
SDSU (8-3) You are extremely low in both polls despite conference mates with similar resumes being higher ranked than you. If you were named NDSU, YSU, or UNI you would probably be 5 spots higher and not worrying about the playoffs.
Indiana State (8-3) Blame your AD for giving you a FBS and a Div 2 game on your schedule. You will probably end up ranked higher than SDSU and have more conference victories than Illinois State ;however, the committee will use your 7 Div wins against you despite knocking off #1 NDSU.
CAA (The age of CAA field flooding may be over with our low computer rankings and stacked field this year. Thank you Rhode Island and Georgia State, our teams GPI drops if we don't kick your *** hard enough). I don't think they want 5 CAA teams again. I'm thinking they will get 3 teams in this time.
Richmond (8-3) You have a slim chance to win the autobid and have one of the weakest SOS in the CAA. JMU loses to ODU your best win suddenly doesn't look so great. Combine with your low poll rankings, I can see Richmond being thrown under the bus.
JMU (8-3) You beat ODU at the end of the year ,but still your CAA schedule is on the weaker side. You are also currently the lowest CAA playoff contender in the Massey ratings and that win might not make up for low computer ratings.
ODU(9-2) You lost to JMU at the end of the year and ended the season of a negative note. Even with the lost you have a strong resume and SoS by playing every CAA playoff contender ,but they could see ODU moving up as a good enough reason to leave them out the playoffs with this field.
UNH (8-3) You lost to Towson at end of the year and now have no chance at winning the autobid. Your schedule is probably the weakest in the CAA avoiding Nova and JMU entirely. Despite poll rankings, you are barely ahead of conference mates in the computers despite only having 1 loss.
Nova (8-3) You won your last game of the season. However, there are too many teams from the CAA going to the playoffs. Due to Head to head, Richmond they steal the last CAA spot to the playoffs.
Towson(7-4)You had 2 FBS games this year and lost twice to FCS conference mates ;therefore, giving you a slim chance at the autobid. Towson is ranked high in the computers and polls ,but will only have 7 fcs wins and it will most likely keep them out considering the field.
SoCon
Wofford (8-3) You have a Div 2 Victory and a FBS loss. You will end up with 7 FCS victories and the committee maybe looking for an excuse to kick good teams out the playoffs.
Southland
Sam Houston (8-3) You have the worst OOC schedule in FCS history. Despite your high computer/poll rankings you may be left for having 7 FCS wins in a perceived weaker conference with a single OOC Div 1 against a SWAC team. If this happens fire your AD.
Patriot League/Big South (Conference Reputation will hurt both contenders. Your conference champion got beat by bottom feeders of power conference)
Lehigh (10-1) You lost the one conference game that truly mattered. Your computer rankings are like 10 spots below the next playoff contender.
Stony Brook (9-2) You lost the one conference game that mattered. You computer rankings are also on the low side despite your FBS victory.
OVC (Alright I don't follow their teams at all) My best guess is that the field is so flooded that you lack of playoff victories as of late may make people doubt your conference is as good as what the polls or computers say.
