I think I detect a little bias against UTC in the JSU poster's choices. xlolx Unfortunately, I'm afraid the SoCon will only see 2 again this year. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, because IMO, this is going to be a very strong FCS conference this year. Going with the three, however, I pick Samford, UTC, and The Citadel.

I know it said pick 3, but I think that is unrealistic.

Oh I completely expect UTC in the playoffs. I'm just an ***hole.

With fewer D2's on the OOC schedules, I expect three teams.
My slightly biased picks:
Chatty
Sammy
Wofford

SoCon teams, who want those seven D-1 wins, need to schedule Pioneer teams (Davidson, Morehead St., Jacksonville, maybe Stetson), vs. D-2's......Pioneer teams are "counters"....

Might be tougher on Wofford after they open up 0-1 :D

4 Teams; not 3 - not exactly sure which 4, because 7 or 8 are probably good enough to qualify...but I'll go with...

Mercer & Furman
Chattanooga
Samford

Western Carolina gets screwed (again)...dangit!
The Citadel is just outside of the bracket after a strong comeback following an 0-2 start in Conference Play and Overall
Wofford is this year's Mercer - just loses too many 1 and 2 point heartbreakers to make the cut - even though they are good enough to be in the Playoffs
VMI rides the arm of Cobb and scares everyone, but in the end they don't have enough depth to make it into the dance

True, but scheduling those teams is not very easy, as they are in great demand.

Oh that admission is not at all necessary. After all, you have those 3 letters on your avatar, so that's understood. Nothing personal Southerner, just saw the perfect opportunity for my 1,000th post. xlolx
