Have no Idea how this game Impact a potential bowl selection premature at this time
My take:
As far as bowl selections, good wins are important, bad losses are important, the rest just count as numbers.
E.g., we have 3 wins, 1 of which is a 'good win.' We have no bad losses.
The only 'significant' game is Illinois, because it is a 'good win.'
The wins over Coastal and CCSU were expected as was the loss to KY.
Coastal is 3-1. That gotta count as a nice win.
Regardless, it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. This is the NCAA. It's all about money. The bowls want teams that bring visitors to their towns and good TV ratings for their sponsors. They dont care about good wins and bad losses.
'Nickle,
The way I would score wins is:
Win vs. a run of the mill P5 school (or equivalent) would count TWO points. I win over a top 40 team would be worth THREE points. A top 25 would be FOUR points. A top 10 would be FIVE points.
A win vs. G5 and some stronger FCS would be worth ONE point.
A win vs. lower caliber FCS would be worth say 1/2 point.
And then reverse it.
A LOSS vs. lower caliber FCS would be worth say MINUS 2 points.
A LOSS to a P5 school is 0 (neither a positive or negative) unless a blowout then it is MINUS 1 point.
A LOSS to most G5 teams are MINUS 1.
********
So I would give EMU:
1 point for the win over Coastal Carolina,
0 points for the loss to KY, (a win would have been worth 3 points)
2 points for the win over IL.
1/2 point for a win over CCSU.
This way I can assign weights to each game regardless if it is vs a B1G opponent or CCSU. Each game is worth something regardless of whom the opponent is.
