Here are my final projections before the playoff committee announces the field tomorrow morning at 10:00am Eastern. Remember the seven D-I win total is what is strongly recommended for the field. We know the following ten schools are in as automatic qualifiers from the ten automatic qualifying conferences: Albany--Northeast Conference Georgia Southern--Southern Conference Lehigh--Patriot League Montana--Big Sky Conference Norfolk State--Mid-Eastern ...

Obviously a crucial week with all big games in the GPI top 25. I'm not expecting the FBS games to have a large impact on playoff selection since the GPI doesn't indicate seeding, bracket placement or game locations, it is all about the at-large.

Sam Houston State looks like they will have home field even with the #2 seed throughout the playoffs but there is a lot to contend with in the last week of the regular season. I will make my last projections just before the official playoff announcement on Sunday. 11/14/2011 GPI Top 25 Rank, School, Rating, Change 1. ...
With six of the ten automatic qualifying bids to the Division I football championships finalized (the Mid-Eastern, Patriot, Southern and Southland have been clinched and the Big Sky and Big South have winner take all games this weekend as detailed in part 1) there are still the remaining four to examine. In three of the cases it comes down to two teams, and then there is the OVC. COLONIAL The AQ goes to Towson if they win this week or if they and Maine lose. If Towson loses ...
