Is EIU deserving of an at large bid? I'm thinking no....

Assuming a win next week against EKU, they would be 7-4.

Wins:
EKU
UTM
Austin P.
SEMO
Murray
Tenn Tech
Tenn St

Losses:
WIU
Northwestern
Jacksonville St
Il St

It's not a lock, but you're most likely in. I'd say winner next week gets in.

pm ursus to get it moved. Or wait until he sees it and moves it without prompting.

If you guys beat EKU, your only losses are to two top 5 teams, a B1G whose only losses are Michigan and Iowa and handed Stanford their only loss. It's not like you were dropping games to Murray State. EKU needed 2OT to get away from them. I think EIU will win and get an at large this weekend.

I can see it either way. No really good wins though.

In a 24 team field, I think the OVC should probably get 2 teams at this point. Strong conferences should fill in the other spots at 3 losses and 4 losses as needed.

I have not problem with EIU winning their way to the playoffs. I suspect they will get beat fast unless they get Dayton in the first round

Will be close. That loss to WIU is a problem. Without that a shoe-in. On da bubble.
