For the second consecutive year, the SLC got 3 teams in. Two opening round wins and a bye, into the second round, for Central Arkansas. If the SLC, can make a little noise, in the second round, going forward maybe 4 teams get in. Congratulations to Nicholls, and SouthEastern. Central, you're up.

Don't expect any love come next years playoff picks as the SLC has either lost its only home game and are down multiple scores in the other two second round games.

 

The SLC usually got 2 teams in but that changed in 2018. In 2018, the SLC went 1-2, in first round games. This year, 2019, The SLC returned three teams to the playoffs. The final record was 2-0, in the first round, and the third team, Central Arkansas, got a bye into the second round. All three teams lost, in the second round, but two of those losses were to the #1 seed and the #6 seed. That looks like a conference improvement to me.

Illinois State was third in the MVC and Montana was fourth in the Big Sky. UCA and Nicholls tied for the regular season. The SLC number one has to win against another conference third or fourth place finisher. I'll give Nicholls a little credit they hung in for two and half quarters with the number 1 ranked team but why were they seeded with that match up in this round. The SLC hasn't earned a better pick.

THe SLC trio got beat, in the second round, by the #1 seed, #6 seed, and unranked Illinois State. Illinois State plays in the MVC, where they did finish third, in the MVC. The two teams, that finished ahead of them were, #1 seed North Dakota State and Northern Iowa, who is 2-0 in the playoffs, and just beat the #7 seed. Southeastern Louisiana got crushed by Montana, who did finish third, in the Big Sky Conference. Who finished first and second, in the Big Sky, the #3 seed Weber State and the #4 seed Sacramento State. The MVC and the Big Sky conferences are deep, in quality teams.

 

The SLC is on the radar of the FCS selection committee. The SLC delivered going 2-0 and 2-3 overall. Barring a perception collapse, of SLC football, I would expect the SLC will get at least three in the 2020 FCS Playoff.

Second round was a disaster for SLC. Nicholls should have played that closer. UCA should have won. Did not expect SE La to win but they got pounded

I don't get how it was a disaster. The SLC went 2-0 in the first round. That's an improvement over the 2018 SLC trio record of 1-2. This year the SLC went 0-3, in the second round but, geez, look,at who they played.

 

Baby steps first then walking then running.
