I’ve got a good bit of respect for GW after watching them play. Vegas spread is 9.5 its and I think that’s probably about right. This will not be a blowout game.

I think I would have stopped punting after the 2nd or 3rd safety.

Gil, its been a while, but I see reading comprehension is still an issue. No one said Charlotte is as good as AZ. The question was is a sizable win over Charlotte comparable to a close loss to AZ?

Well let’s see, WM beat Charlotte by 17 and NDSU lost to AZ by 3, so that’s a 20 point spread. I’m not going to look it up because I don’t deal in hypotheticals, but I’m guessing Massey would predict...

WM didn’t just beat Charlotte. We dominated them in the 2nd half. Yes, AZ is clearly a better FBS opponent, but a loss is still a loss. I also think playing a P5 school is artificially boosting NDSU...

WM is also 5 points away from an undefeated season that includes an FBS win. Also, see my above post regarding the unbalanced scheduling in the CAA. If NDSU is ranked above WM I won’t come whining,...

I would also point out that WM didn’t play Albany (2-6), Maine (2-6), or Monmouth (3-5) in conference. WM also missed UNH, but on balance WM played one of the tougher in-conference schedules that...

In the past, the committee has weighted being a “power conference” champ (auto bid) heavily. I think the 4-6 seedings could fall in any order between NDSU, WM and Samford. I think Samford could be...

Seems reasonable enough to me. I could argue for switching Samford and WM.

Thanks, I missed that somehow. Made the correction. Still think WM has a slight edge. And top CAA team (no offense to UNH as co-champs) should be seeded above #3 Big Sky team.

I’ve ignored William & Mary's national ranking up to this point. We’ve been building to this year, but needed to earn the respect. Took a closer look today however and I think W&M should jump some...

I thought WM was overhyped in the preseason and should not have been preseason top 10, mainly due to question marks on defense. We lost six starters off an average defense, including two guys that...

I've been camped in their front yard for 3 days and they refuse to come out! Whimps.

Are you saying its okay to negatively impact small teams academically by participating in post-season play, but not a large team?

If the post-season ban for football is based on academic...

Really, do you think the football player at Yale and Harvard would find competing for a National championship "anti-climatic"?

It's great the Yale-Harvard game is well attended and generates...

If WM can compete if the playoffs (twice going to the semis) and maintain graduation rates in the 90%+ range there is no reason the Ivies can't participate. WM holds final exams before Christmas as...

WM defense did about as well as could be expected last time out against UR. For WM to win, our offense has to be much better this time around. I think they will be and we make this a game. Here's...

Agree with the original poster, I'm not sure why WM is seemingly out of the discussion for a top 4 seed. We have two road losses. One by six points to UVA and another by one point to UD. Since then...

I'll admit to shooting a bit from the hip on Harvard. I knew Penn had a long win streak in the mid 90's. Guessing that the 1997 Harvard team is the one that stuck in my mind. Looking at the year...

Scholarship offers are easily tracked these days via recruiting websites. If you're right and PLs are picking up recruits with CAA offers then it should be easy enough to point to some examples to...

Good discussion. I was recruited by PL, Ivy, Service Academy, and CAA programs back in the mid-90s and chose WM. I took official visits to three CAA programs and two Ivies. I grew up in PA and...

We were pretty banged up before and during the UD game, especially on defense. No excuses though, we were also flat and got pushed around by the UD OL. That said we are getting some bodies back now....

With respect to your 3rd point, I was very concerned when the PL decided to offer athletic scholarships and feared WM would lose recruits given that WM and the PL go after a lot the same recruits due...

Fair enough. From my perspective, UMass and Hofstra from 2002 to their departure were no better than current Albany and SBU. No doubt in my mind that upside of Albany and SBU are greater than...
