EDIT - i see MNORM beat me to it. I included the link where you can see we were top 10 all yr 2006
Furman moving into the Top 10
Well damn that's about what I figured, been a long long time fellas (13 years), glad to be back in there (Well Monday that is) 
FU would move up 1 slot to #2 in FUBeAR’s FCS rankings if the dang penguins hadn’t frozen up - giving up 35 points in the 2nd half / 22 in the 4th quarter - to the jackrabbits.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,
For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother

Home playoff games is what we want.
I do not know whether I was more disappointed when we were not announced as being in the playoffs last year OR in 2006 when we expected a home game and they said “Furman at Montana State”. I have always said that is when we lost that game-it was frigid in Bozeman.

Loooong way to go but 'nobowls ' is a good one to watch - "Since its inception in 2008, NoBowls has correctly predicted 191 of the 204 teams selected to participate in the FCS postseason. Resident bracketologist Erik Pitzer strives to provide weekly bias-free predictions heavily rooted in the same criteria set forth by the NCAA selection guidelines ".
This guy hits at well over 90% of who will be in.. He now has us and Woff in. I think that probably only happens if they beat us but possible if they 7-4.

Long way to go, but potentially hosting Wofford and then going to NDSU would be just about worst case scenario for me personally. Best case (unless we move up higher than I think we will) would be first round bye, host game, go to Kennesaw, go to anyone that’s not NDSU (or get lucky and host semis), play someone other than NDSU in Frisco.
Can't play WC or any other SoCon team in first round.fufanatic wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 10:12 pmLong way to go, but potentially hosting Wofford and then going to NDSU would be just about worst case scenario for me personally.

If you look at the nobowls link, it has Furman as the #8 seed, a first round bye, and home playing the winner of a game involving Wofford.apaladin wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 10:30 pmCan't play WC or any other SoCon team in first round.fufanatic wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 10:12 pmLong way to go, but potentially hosting Wofford and then going to NDSU would be just about worst case scenario for me personally.
