from I think only Furman . ... then Woff and Furman... to Chatt, Woff and Furman (3 socon teams) - I personally think it will come to
hopefully 2 of those 3 teams getting in. Want to see the SoCon stay a 2 bid league.
"Since its inception in 2008, NoBowls has correctly predicted 191 of the 204 teams selected to participate in the FCS postseason."
I bet their prediction rate is based on after the season ends and not 5-6 weeks out. Right now it doesn't mean a whole lot.
AP, you are exactly right: Its a 'if season ended today who would be in the playoffs'...
from his site: "
Every week's bracket is based on an "If the season ended today" mindset. The 10 automatic bids are just that: automatic. Whichever team is atop the standings of each of the 10 auto-bid conferences at the end of the week receives a bid. Expectedly, teams on top of conference standings early in the season often are not in the same spot come Selection Sunday. The other 14 bids, the at-large selections, are simply the teams I believe to be the best remaining in the country. Keep in mind again this is not a prediction of what I think the brackets will look like in late November, but rather a collection of deserving teams week to week."
By year's end this guy is good hitting at over 90% ! Granted, the 10 autobids give him 10/24 that he knows he gets right but still.. 191 out of 204 is a good predictor.
