From the gojaxstate message board and I'll give credit to the author JSU02:

I realize our playoff chances are slim to none at this point, but I thought of a very plausible scenerio where we would be in a decent position to get an at large spot. We had been hoping that our TnST game would end up being the OVC championship game, but it now looks like that game will actually be EKU v UTM. If UTM loses to EKU, then EKU would win the OVC and autobid. UTM will only have 6 D-I wins and not qualify for an at large bid. Now IF (BIG IF) JSU can win out and defeat TnST in a dominate manner we would be 8-3. Now even if TnST does lose in Jacksonville, they are playing 12 games this year and would have the potential to finish 9-3. So my question to y'all is, would the selection committee pick an 8-3 JSU team (with losses to GT, OVC champ EKU, and UTM) over an 9-3 TnST team (with losses to FAMU, JSU, and SEMO).

What would happen if UTM beats EKU and we win out (gamecock99) ? It does raise an interesting question as we hope against hope... Any thoughts...
