This is how we find out who our AQ is. Obviously, a McN/SHSU tie makes things easy, but this is the SLC...
CHAMPIONSHIP PROBABILITIES
If Sam Houston State and McNeese State each win their final two games, the two will be Southland co-champions. McNeese would earn the league’s NCAA I-AA playoff berth by virtue of the Cowboys’ 31-18 victory over Sam Houston. If the Kats and the Cowboys each lose a game, that could set up a multi-team tie of squads with two losses. The first criteria for breaking such a tie is head-to-head competition. The second criteria is record against lower teams, going one by one down the standings. If there still is no tiebreaker, the team that has been the longest out of the national playoffs were earn the league’s berth. Last playoff apperances for the teams in contention are SFA 1999, McNeese 2003, NW St. 2004, SHSU 2004, and Nicholls 2005.
