The only teams in the coaches poll who lost today:

3-Weber State

5-Notthern Iowa

7-Furman

All the teams below us from 8 to 25 won.

A shame we could not take care of business.

The question is how far we fall? I say to #15. If we had punched in a score or 2 maybe not as far. It's all about perception.

Not scoring twice inside the 5 was downright unbelievable. Losing was tough regardless, but we couldn’t even make them sweat and/or make it look like a closer loss.

Hope so, I'll take 15 and run

A win yesterday and we would be looking at a top 4 or 5 seed. Now we will be playing in the first round on the road. I say that but we did exactly what we did not want to do, left doubt.

I like it. I was one that thought we were in regardless of yesterdays outcome but after reading on the AGS board I'm not as confident now. We left doubt.

At least we are being entertained into the final week of the regular season the past 3 years with some interest, as opposed to the Fowler days of already having the season lost

People on AGS are biased. No way a ranked Furman team does not get in! You can take that to the bank. Only the Citadel loss confirmed that! Otherwise it was very iffy.

[fufanatic]

AGS peeps hate us mainly due to some Furman fans that were nearly universally disliked. Furman’s resume really isn’t super impressive. Plenty of dominating performances but we lost to four best teams on schedule. There are probably 26 or so teams that have a shot to get in. I don’t think we are a lock, but I would still be pretty stunned if we didn’t make it in. I really hope we will spend some money to host. An OVC team would be great. And then hit the road if they win.

The brackets look good to me.

I don't want a rematch with Wofford. Not this year. No good could come of it.

It's going to be an interesting selection: a lot of would-be at-large teams have similar profiles. The biggest weakness in Furman's profile is lack of a win over a likely playoff team, but many of the other would-be at-large teams have the same weakness. As much as I hate to type this, the extra smidgen of benefit we get from being 8-4 with a win over Point as opposed to 7-4 and a bye next week could be very important (even though that makes no logical sense to me). Overall, I estimate an 80% chance we get in.
