Good question, i want to know what the tiebreaker system entails. I can see the bellyaching from the north if we run the table and one of them does as well, or if a one loss team actually looks better than an undefeated team who gets the bid? We they crown the bid by record or have say a coaches poll?

Posted on another thread before seeing this. If they don't amend the standard CAA tiebreaker rules, its likely to come down to Sagarin score. Feels like the CAA hosed us on schedule.

We made our bed about 10 years ago, we are getting what we asked for. Not a team on the schedule should be considered a peer either athletically or academically. Few students apply to RU, Waste Mgt., or Elam who also apply to JMU.

Yeah you’re right-kids that apply to JMU probably can’t get into Richmond, W&M or Elon. I say this as a kid who didn’t get into Richmond and where W&M and Elon weren’t options.

I love JMU and I am so glad I’m a Duke. This is a sports board and I get that our football program has outgrown these schools and we aren’t really football peers anymore with anyone in our current conference (even though Richmond beat us on the first Gameday game and Elon when Cig was there broke our winning streak). But I don’t lose sight of that fact that these are good schools so I don’t get making fun of them no matter how frustrated you are with our current conference or division in football.
