Yeah but this was fairly egregious. The UNI pick wasn't horrible based on outcome. This one looked bad on paper and in outcome. The UC Davis pick is somewhere in between.

Actually SLA has looked better on offense than they have tonight
but everyone scores points on SLA and that tells the story about the SWAC

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
I don't know why they even consider MEAC / SWAC teams anyways. If they aren't sending their best teams to the playoffs then none of them deserve a spot. Either be all in or all out.

This weekend I’m thankful for the Celebration Bowl. Imagine if we let in god awful teams from this conference like FAMU every year. Seriously, the PFL is better than the SWAC. FAMU and JSU should not be allowed to be ranked

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
Meh. I like to see new teams in the playoffs. Would you rather have the 7th place MVFC team (Indiana State or North Dakota)? The 6th place Big Sky team (Weber State)? Maybe the 3rd place ASUN/WAC (EKU), 2nd Big South (Monmouth), 3rd CAA (Elon), 2nd MEAC (NCCU), 2nd NEC (Duquesne), 2nd OVC (SEMO), 2nd Patriot (Colgate), 2nd Pioneer (San Diego), 2nd SoCon (Mercer) or 3rd Southland (Nicholls)?
Some of those teams could make a decent argument that they should have been in ahead of FAMU (and I'd probably agree) but it's really just arguing over who should fill out the bracket. Ever since we expanded from 16 teams (especially since we expanded from 20 teams) I've felt that the last 4 in/out have nothing to complain about. If you make it, congratulations you get another week or two of football, but if you don't - you didn't prove that you have a shot at winning the national championship. Maybe it's better to let the teams from conferences that are lagging see how far behind they are.

I could name about 10-15 teams that didn't make the field that would have rolled FAMU today.

Nah…FUBeAR heard the FAMU AD talking about FAMU’s case for the Playoffs about a month ago. He said FAMU’s Student-Athletes deserved access and an equitable opportunity for historical participation in the FCS Playoffs. When they beat Southern on 11/6 to get to 7 D1 wins, FUBeAR inked the Rattlers into an At-Large bid. No way were they not going to be included in the field.
And…y’know…UNI lost only 4 MVFC games…which the Committee reasons is pretty much the same as winning 4 games in almost all other FCS Conferences…I mean, seriously, the Panthers lost to 3 other Playoff Teams, 2 of which also lost today…1 of which lost today to an OVC Team playing with a back-up QB. The Panthers were clearly one of the best losers available from the MVFC remaining in the At-Large pool.
FUBeAR is not salty at all. The Playoff Selection Committee was able to justify each of their selections with the logic they chose to use to justify those selections.
The real mystery is how the Selection Committee could not find the logic needed to include 5-6 North Dakota & 5-6 Indiana State in the field. The Hawks & the the Sycamores may have been even better losers than UNI.

I know, right. That said, FUBeAR didn’t want to go too far in making the Committees’s completely logical case for including the Penguins in the field. Some people are kinda sensitive, y’know.

Re: 2021 Fall Playoffs Round 1: Florida A&M @ Southeastern Louisiana
Unpopular opinion time but I'm still glad the committee gave the invite to FAMU. We know how teams like Mercer, EKU, Monmouth, Weber St, and Rhode Island have fared against playoff caliber competition this year but we didn't know with FAMU. Now we do. They probably didn't do any favors for future SWAC teams that might be worthy of consideration but better to determine an unknown than to confirm what was already known IMHO. None of those teams were likely to make it past the 2nd round anyway.

I generally agree with this, although I was pretty sure most forgot how bad SWAC was OOC
Florida A&M has several really good players on D, defense played well considering SLA routinely put up 50 points
but the offense is severely challenged and looked overmatched against a Defense that had struggled mightily
Mercer has the strongest case
Rhode Island? Florida A&M defense would make it a game.... a very low scoring game

No more politically correct playoff picks please.
Pick the best teams. FAMU was from playoff worthy. If the MEAC and SWAC don't want to send their best then don't pick their leftovers.

This is actually a thought that went through my mind, too...in the age of inclusion and political correctness, now was the time to invite FAMU into the field.

Not the point. The point of the playoff is to have the best teams. It's not "we should have put X, Y, or Z in because they would have beat SLU", it's "we should have put X, Y, or Z in because they are better than FAMU"

The point of the playoffs is to take the best representation of each league from around the country. The Big Sky, CAA and MVFC are plenty well represented with zero chance of their best teams being left out. Jackson State beat FAMU by one-point, 7-6. There's plenty of argument to be made that FAMU is at least equal to JSU as the best representative of the SWAC. Furthermore, they went 9-2 with a respectable FBS loss. They earned their way in and lost, just like UNI did, Davidson, Missouri State, etc. To follow your line of argument, Nicholls State should have been in — they are a lot better than several teams who did get in.

None IMO, but our previous head coach will be a prime candidate, as well as our former DBs coach.
