2024 SLC Football Week 11 Results and Comments

[geezer]

Another week of conference only contests.  Unless Lamar would upset UIW this week the conference race is virtually over as UIW would be at 5-0 with games against SFA and Commerce left and little chance they would lose both of those.  SLU takes on NWST which should be a win.  Nicholls plays HCU and Commerce plays SFA.

As the day ends UIW is in the driver's seat for the championship sitting at 5-0 with games left at SFA and Commerce.  They should be favored in both of those games but as long as they win one of the two, they will get the berth to the playoffs.  SLU buried NWST and has one conference game left guaranteeing themselves of second place.  SFA lost to Commerce so the next six teams all have three conference losses.  HCU defeated Nicholls. With today's results both of Lamar's remaining games have significance as if they win both Lamar can still finish third.

Would a 8-4 LU team with a win over SLU have gotten them into the playoffs? My guess is probably not.

I think Lamar would have had to win against both SFA and SLU to have a chance to get in.  9-3

I was looking at the FCS bracket and I don't think the Southland gets the respect it deserves there are three representatives from the United Athletic Conference two with 8-4 records and one with a 9-3 record.

SFA just beat Abilene Christian Saturday, who made the playoffs for this year.
