2nd it is..cause we ain't losing.
I do hate SBC scheduling. Our upcoming schedule. Play two teams at home and then following week play them away...
Earlier in the year...played JMU twice in a week or so.
The schedule has been strange this year. I'm also not sure why the two GA schools were separated this year.
I thought the same on why the Georgia schools weren’t scheduled together. That last week is brutal. Bus down to the Stink for a Tuesday game then have to be in Huntington on Friday night. I’m always curious on how the team travels with a schedule like that. All bus rides or would they at least fly out of Savannah to Huntington Wednesday?

Pretty sure they'll fly a private jet from Statesboro to Huntington. The offaeasongolf tournament helps pay for those jet trips.

I may be wrong, but if App, JMU, Troy and S Aly all win out, we will get 1 seed. Ark St plays both Troy and S Aly.

I think so, as App's sweep of JMU would be huge in any multi-team tiebreaker. We'd be 2-1 versus the other three. USA and Troy split, Troy lost to JMU and JMU beat USA, so there's two losses for Troy and USA right there and there's not enough games to make it to 67% win percentage for anyone else.

It's asking four specific teams to go a combined 20-0 the rest of the way.

Unfortunately, we probably want JMU to win as we win.

It not about their “ fan” , it’s about the reality of team travel.

You are right! Ga. St. Should be favored against us. They’ve won 4-5 in a row and we play to our competition , struggling against weak teams. They are playing at home and definitely improving down the stretch.

Conference teams are something in the neighborhood of minus 55 on the road to this point. We will need to play well to win. I think we will.

ESPN Matchup predictor has us 65% to 35% chance of winning…. I think that’s about right. Read somewhere where GAST been avg like 95 pts per game the last few home games….. I think it’s fair to say, that will not happen today. Can they win… sure…. is it likely… I don’t think so…. they are not going to like a hand in their face all game… they will get frustrated….. does not mean they can’t win… they’ll have to play one of their best games to beat us…. This is why you play the game.
