Holy Cross has lost a bunch of impact guys, but all of them are either graduating this year or not eligible for what would be a sixth year of college football at HC --

Jacob Dobbs --> James...

How are they going to piece together a full schedule at this point?

Best of seven series against Merrimack?

No Paul Johnson?

His five year run at Georgia Southern was pretty damn good.

Not sure Chesney is behind Higgins.

Lehigh was pretty good under Hank Small. Higgins was stepping into a good position, plus he was an assistant from 1988-93 at Lehigh. Seamless transition.

Here are some names that have been kicked around --

"Inside" the HC family: Scott James (DC), Rich Gunnell (WR / Pass Game Coordinator), Chris Smith (former OC, current NYG offensive analyst),...

Lotsa excuses here.

Lafayette played in the same weather as we did and beat us on our home field. Injuries happen in football. Depth is important. We proved not to have the depth needed on...

Lafayette is going to need one more TD somehow. Maybe special teams, defensive, or a gadget play. At the very least, the offense needs a couple first downs on their next possession to flip the field...

Leopards in big trouble.

Patriot League might not be so bad…

There are a handful of teams that were much better choices than NC Central.

Consider this:

NC Central beat ONE TEAM with a winning record this season -- Elon.

One of their wins came...

In.

One year.

Syracuse with Chesney in a package deal?

This is going to be an awesome game. Lafayette's OL and RB (Jamar Curtis) can really play. Very curious to see what the line is for this.

The Pioneer's showing since 2013, when they received their auto-bid --

Davidson 0 - Richmond 41
Davidson 21 - Kennesaw St 48
Davidson 14 - Jacksonville St 49
San Diego 3 - Northern Iowa 17...

Sorry, meant Presby over Wofford...who beat Furman.

This.

Here's a crazy stat -- the PFL's record against FCS schools outside of their conference this season was...wait for it...1-16. The lone win being Presbyterian over Furman (transitive...

Sac St over UC Davis is criminal.

Davis was 5-3 in the Big Sky. Sac St was 4-4. And, as we know, Davis won the head-to-head.

I think it would be unprecedented for an 8 win team out of the CAA to not receive a bid, but I'm not fully sold on Richmond. They're probably going to be on the right side of the bubble, but have bad...

One of the safest bets today.

Fully agree.

It’s not a good situation to be in when you hope the committee values “close FBS losses” more than wins for other bubble teams.

SOS for Holy Cross is 41, which is better than many other bubble teams.

That makes sense to me.

And that means Duquesne, being in Western PA, likely goes to Youngstown (should they get in). That's a logical match-up (76 miles apart).

Is this assuming Villanova is a seed? Other regional teams in the Delaware / PA area are Duquesne and Nova, so they could factor in.

FCS record alone isn’t a good enough reason.

Who you play matters.

There have been years where a PFL or NEC team has gone 9-1 against the FCS. Does that, alone, mean they should get in?

I...
