This is how the CAA playoff prospects seem to be stacking up, please let me know if any if this is wrong:

No Chance of Playoffs:
Villanova - Can't make 7 D1 wins, can't win CAA
William and Mary - Can't Make 7 D1 wins, can't win CAA
Rhode Island - Can't make 7 D1 wins, can't win CAA
UMass - Ineligible due to transitional status

Incredibly slim chance of Playoffs:

Delaware - Can't make 7 D1 wins, only chance is to win the CAA, which would require beating Towson, Richmond, and Villanova, Maine losing all remaining games, Towson winning at most 1 more game, JMU* winning at most 1 more game, UNH* winning at most 1 more game, and Old Dominion winning at most 2 more games.

*Not sure what would happen if UNH, JMU, and UD all had 5 CAA wins as there are no head to heads.

Can't win CAA title, but can make playoffs by winning out:

Richmond

Have solid chances to win the CAA or get to 7 D1 wins:

Maine
Towson
JMU
UNH
Old Dominion


Am I missing anything?

W&M can't get 7 D1 wins therefore they cannot get into the playoffs

Thanks, original post updated. I keep reading 'New Haven' as 'Yale' on the W&M results page.

With games against Maine and UDel left we can certainly play spoiler....or just do as expected: roll over and die going 0-for the CAA

Yes, you missed the reality check that UD has zero chance of making the playoffs with only 6 D1 wins (and that's saying UD wins out,which they won't). Go ahead...place the hens in your "No Chance of Playoffs" group. Confession is good for the soul.

Delaware still, technically, has a chance at the autobid. The odds of it happening are practically zilch, but you have to acknowledge it is a statistical - if highly or ridiculously - possibility.

No, I don't have to acknowledge the impossible. UD's season is done as far as the playoffs are concerned.
