Playoffs? Craziest scenarios thread!

[BisonFan02]

With all of the playoffs talk going on, I figured I might as well be the one to drive the conversation off of the cliff (feel free to move to smack if you think it's more appropriate over there). However, what is everybodies most far fetched playoff qualifying scenario going into these final weeks? xthumbsupx

[Twentysix]

EWU winning out.

[van]

Could be one in the NEC if either Monmouth or Sacred Heart win out they would get the auto bid.

[Twentysix]

that really is not that crazy

Why you gotta be bustin my balls.

:p

[BisonFan02]

that really is not that crazy

Lafayette wins out and takes the Patriot Autobid. xwhistlex

[Cocky]

OVC gets five bids.

[TTUEagles]

OVC gets five bids.

This board will probably explode if the OVC gets two bids this year....

[Squealofthepig]

1) Delaware wins out and has everything fall exactly in place and gets the autobid for the CAA. Only two other CAA teams get to seven D1 wins to be considered.

2) Presbyterian copies everything they saw from the Georgia Southern game and rolls off four straight wins, capturing the Big South.

3) Harvard gets bored and lets the committee know sure, they'll accept an invite.

4) YSU goes on a tear and winds up beating both UNI and NDSU (on the road) in consecutive weeks, and five valley teams get in the playoffs.

5) Duquesne wins out and the NEC get two bids

6) And least likely of all: Samford manages to get to the seven D1 wins necessary to be included in the playoffs - and easily gets an invite - after upending Auburn the last weekend.

That's the spirit! xbowx

[Milktruck74]

Craziest by far......FBS Playoff!!!!!

[bjtheflamesfan]

Presbyterian is on the road the next two weeks so its gonna be tough to get wins @ Liberty and @ CCU (Liberty has won the last two meetings in Lynchburg by a combined 103-33 score)

Yes, hence in the "crazy" thread. :)

Like: GSU loses all four remaining games (at App, vs. The Citadel, at Wofford and at Alabama), and completely misses the playoffs.

[bjtheflamesfan]

Here's one...NDSU loses big to UNI and in the hangover loses their next two games, finishes 8-3 and has to go on the road and loses in the first round

[Squealofthepig]

...at either the OVC or NEC champs.

[GATA]

What's REALLY crazy is that could TOTALLY happen

Alabama is an automatic loss.

App State and Wofford are essentially toss up games...

While we SHOULD be favored over the Citadel at home...you never know...they can be sneaky good sometimes...depends on when you catch them.

which is WHYYYYYY you NEVER schedule DII games if you can help it...we should already have 7 DI wins...

[jmufan999]

MEAC wins a playoff game

[Woody Hayes]

NDSU wins a national championship so they can stop talking about all their D2 championships i think thats a about as crazy as it gets.

This is how you end a thread on the first page.

hahaha im so ready it will be a great one!

[MTfan4life]

1. Weber State wins out while Montana State falls apart and loses out. The Bobcats miss the boat while Weber barely hangs on.
2. Although the conference can only boast one non-conference win against a more than 2 win team, the OVC steals 3 bids after the CAA continues to collapse on each other.
3. The Northeast Conference turns into bizarro world and the bottom half wins out. Wagner finishes 5-6 but comes away with the automatic bid.
4. Central Arkansas visits the FCS playoffs for the first time with the Southland auto-bid thanks to a Sam Houston collapse.
5. The Selection Committee gets tired of all the teams on the win/loss bubble and inserts DII powers Minnesota Duluth & Northwest Missouri St., claiming them as representatives from the Missouri Valley.

[GaSouthern]

I could see the SoCon getting 4 teams in with either Furman or Chattanooga being the last team in.

[andy7171]

Towson gets a seed.

/thread

[DSUrocks07]

Morgan winning out and claiming the MEAC auto and knocks off Towson in the first round. xlolxxlolx

Hill-Eley gets and extension xeekxxeekxxeekx

[asknoquarter21]

Western Carolina beats Appalachian State

[UIWWildthing]

Morgan winning out and claiming the MEAC auto and knocks off Towson in the first round. xlolxxlolx

Hill-Eley gets and extension xeekxxeekxxeekx

Towson/Morgan rematch in the playoffs? My head might explode!

[Bam]

This board will probably explode if the OVC gets two bids this year....

EKU wins out & gets the OVC bid.

[Pard4Life]

ok, now that is crazy

No, Georgetown beating Lehigh and winning the PL would be freaking nuts!

[appfan2008]

ASU loses to GSU and Furman and beats Elon and WCU to finish a respectable 7-4 feeling secure with themselves but get left out of the playoffs...

[Bogus Megapardus]

No, Georgetown beating Lehigh and winning the PL would be freaking nuts!

Even better - Georgetown wins out, earns the PL autobid, and keeps the Brown Panties completely out of the playoffs. That would be perfect.

Then Georgetown could refuse to allow any broadcast of playoff games.

[frozennorth]

No, then the just add them all together and start comparing themselves to notre dame, oklahoma, michigan and alabama. Lakes starts trolling ohio state and penn state message boards about how ndsu is the premeir 'state'

[Professor Chaos]

The MEAC champ wins a playoff game.

[frozennorth]

Gsu misses the playoffs








Because they beat bama and are the highest ranked non-aq to end the season, and are busy in the fiesta bowl.

[Twentysix]

UNI loses to NDSU YSU and ISUr and beats SUU. Going 7-4 and missing the playoffs.

[SpeedkingATL]

Furman finishes at 7-4 and with 4 other SoCon teams in the playoffs gets left out. Then they get a call from the "Gallo Wine and Cheeze Bowl" and play in that FBS bowl game because there isn't another 6 win FBS team left to fill all the slots.

Then they beat Middle Tennessee State 41-7 in front of 11K fans on December 23rd.

[heath]

NDSU wins a national championship so they can stop talking about all their D2 championships i think thats a about as crazy as it gets.

Did you mean NDSU or Lehighxlolx

[BisonFan02]

Did you mean NDSU or Lehighxlolx

If it was Lehigh, you would have to drop the "s" off of championships.

[WestCoastAggie]

MEAC wins a playoff game

Specifically North Carolina A&T; a team with only 33 scholarships available. xcoffeex

[Squealofthepig]

How about this:

North Dakota somehow makes the playoffs (winning out, rules are waived, etc), and goes on an absolute tear, making it all the way to the championship game.

NDSU, meanwhile, (less surprisingly), manages to dominate in the other half of the bracket.

UND meets NDSU in the championship game, but the coaches make a pre-game announcement that they will not play the game and merely share the national championship on behalf of the state of North Dakota.

Half of UM's defense is arrested and incarcerated for repeateadly yelling "DON'T TAZE ME BRO!!" outside the fizzoula police station, and are forced to forfeit the rest of the season, and hence miss the playoffs for the SECOND consecutive year.

This is supposed to be crazy far fetched scenarios. This breaks the unsaid rule though. No cops.

[alvinkayak6]

Crazy-far fetched? Hmm...... Maine & Towson win out. UNH, James Madison, Delaware, ODU, and other lose out so that the CAA will only have 2 or 3 teams with 7 D-I wins

[beantown78]

UMaine or UNH host an opening round playoff game

and the southern CAA fans acknowledge a team north of VA won the conference championship
