I agree. I understand the arguments for and against Furman getting in. I think they'll be one of the last 4 in, but I can't say for certain.
I don't know. It depends on whether or not the committee values quality wins over lack-of-bad-losses or vice versa. By one measure Furman may be left out, by another they would be in.

I *think* Furman will get in just because I have a hard time seeing another conference getting a fourth team before the socon gets a third. It will be close either way.
I wouldn't feel good if I...
Three things about Furman:
1. The best win they have is against a flailing Western Carolina (7-5) and inconsistent Mercer (5-6). The "they have no quality win" talking point is legitimate.
2....
Oddly enough, the stars aligned to have helped Samford had they not won (Kennesaw won) and quite the opposite for Furman (Western got whalloped and doesn't look like a good win anymore to be honest;...
perhaps, but they also lack a bad loss and plenty of quality losses (1 FBS, 3 to ranked teams)
Just eye-balling it, I think Furman is in.
Samford wins.
Furman's back baby
(sorry I couldn't resist, Furman is a good team)
Samford up 26-20 with 5 minutes left in the game/regulation
7-7, end of first, Furman driving
Furman punts after what looks like Wade Lang started calling their plays after passing on a second and long
Game is tied at 7 with about 6 or 7 minutes left in the first quarter. Both defenses looking paper mache, but it looks like Furman's plan is to let Samford gash them for the first 80 yards but to...
3:30 on stadium
This is too much
I cannot
just ask the Citadel what they think of Joe Newman
I think this is slightly overfitting. The fact that they are .500 in games that are 75 degrees or below makes me think that it doesn't have much to do with the weather, but the time of year having...
Eh, it's still gonna suck that two teams (Furman and Wofford) will likely play each other with one obviously being eliminated before the quarters.
it checks out with the stats
I see what you did there.
Also, I think it's likely one way or another that Furman will win the time of possession battle and turning the ball over will not be conducive to an easy win by Samford...
No, I never feel good about playing Samford.
I feel more certain about Furman winning this one, weirdly enough
That's kind of crazy when you think about it. For most teams, turning the ball over 2-3 times is pretty catastrophic, the fact that you have to get to 4 for Samford kind of speaks to their defensive...
purple is still ugly
Yeah that was kind of dumb. It was a weird trend from like 2007-2012 or so that teams who didn't have black as their colors wore a lot of black (Oklahoma State still hasn't given it up). Furman...
