2.9% Playoff chance

[appdaze]

So you're telling me there's a chance!

[Yosef84]

Seems awfully low but maybe it will keep the guys motivated (as if that is needed).

[hapapp]

JMU 21.1%

[AppDub]

JMU 21.1%

That one is laughable.

Makes sense to me. While we can potentially afford a Clemson loss, it would hurt our chances quite a bit. A loss to any of Liberty, JMU, Marshall, Stink, Coastal removed us entirely from the conversation (unless we upset Clemson).

JMU has a very beatable P4 - UNC.

I will say I think Tulane is overrated on this. They have Kansas State and then Oklahoma coming up. Almost certainly 2 losses. Boise also has Oregon.

JMU will get a sense of Chapel Hill as they play UNCC this weekend.

JMU will lose to us and Coastal. Book it. No way they make the playoffs. Just more propaganda to inflate their already obnoxious fans' egos.

[biggie]

Don’t seem like this is looking at future games/matchups just if they won this week?

Right now espn predictor gives us. 70% chance of beating Liberty.
It gives JMU at 60% chance of beating us.

With as much as they lost I still can’t understand the hype.

[Black Saturday]

App has been given the future performance wins based on past successes lots of times and we didn't live up to the billing either.

[AppWyo]

So you're telling me there's a chance!

We play six of those teams...

ESPN does not seem to be very bullish on us in general. We dropped in the FPI after week 1 and are projected at 7-5.

FPI means nothing after one week.

Disagree that we would be entirely out of it with two losses. Would need help, sure. But there will be years in which the G5 representative has two losses.

I do not see jmwho beating UNC. UNC's new DC is better than the last DC. Just my opinion.
I also believe we could get in with two losses but need help from teams ahead of us in ranking as of now. I do believe we cannot lose to ECU and Liberty as it gives impression sun belt is not as good as the conference those teams are in.
With that said, we ain't losing!!

Let's repeat that statement.

App DROPPED 9 positions this week due to a FPI perceived WEAK performance against ETSU. JMU JUMPED 10 positions due to FPI perceived good performance against UNCC.

I keep telling everyone we have to beat the crap out of the weaker teams on our schedule to raise in the ratings, both computer and people polls. Why do you think 4 SEC teams won by OVER 60 pts this past weekend? Because they know how the system works. We better wake up or we will be sitting in the corner at the end of the season whether we win the SBC or not.

I disagree. The mouse runs college football. A slow start in FPI can leave a bad perception throughout the year to the money movers and could leave us out of the playoffs if we mange to be a top 5 G5 team and could get the nod. We have to impress the money movers and the gamblers with big point spread wins that make it appear on paper that we have a shot at upsetting someone in the playoffs thus appeasing the gamblers. So yes, even early season FPI matters in today's college football world.

FSU might drop to 0.0000% tonight

I agree completely. Sportsmanship is out the window, especially if you’re a team with a legitimate shot at the CFP. The way this game will be played is a license to obliterate every team you can. If we could’ve thrown a hundred on ETSU then we should have…of course, we didn’t have the horses to do that on Saturday. But, if we did, I like to think that we wouldn’t have wasted one second of clock or not went for it on every 4th down.

You could not be more correct in your position. We should have beat ETSU by much more. Worst part is that I think we were trying to.
