The SLC made a move upwards in this poll!

I think with RGV breaking into the top 25 there is a strong chance that a 9-3 Lamar could still make it to the playoffs as a third SLC school.  Lamar has the victory over South Dakota and although their record does not show it UIW is still a very dangerous team as shown by their wins over Big Sky fourth place school Eastern Washington and UAC second place Abilene Christian.

I agree that it helps our case for an At-Large bid... but I'd rather have the "Conference Champion" trophy since it'd definitely mean a home playoff game (no way they're sending a 11-1 SLC Champ on the road for the 1st Round, given that we've already moved up to the top 15.

We are 14 in both of the two polls that are likely the most respected in the FSC Poll stratosphere. To Gator's point, an 11-1 LU with wins over SFA & SELA will likely be a top ten team and would get a home game.  It would also be the most historic, IMHO, regular season for Lamar Football!  But I am getting ahead of myself.  Only focusing on this weeks game in San Antonio.  😎

This has SFA beating LU for the title and LU getting the last seeded playoff spot.  A win would send them to North Dakota State.  Hoping for a better seeding. I think that 11-1 would be a top ten seed.

Ha!  my ideas are seldom called wisdom.  I think the only way the slc gets 3 in, is for sela to be on the bubble and get in due to kinda getting hosed last year?  6-1 in conference. Brutal OOC schedule last year and it bit em on the arse.

the big wigs are pretty down on the slc this year. I HOPE we get 2. I think we will unless weird stuff happens.

i just hope the uiw team that was on the field for the first half vs utrgv is who shows up to play us. Dont like em, theyve won the last 5.

 

that out of the way…..throw the ball!
