This Bracket has Furman as a 3 seed and FOUR SoCon teams in the field.

Cool - they need to up their Bracketology Game though - Since 2017 - If a Conference has 4 or more Teams in the Playoffs, the Playoff Selection Committee must ensure they are not all on the same side of the bracket...unless they are all Seeded in such a way that they would all be on the same side. Then the Committee will not change their Seeding in order to 'break up' the bracket. The Committee can 'violate' the '400 mile / no flight' rule to 'balance' the brackets. They only have to move 1 Team to the 'other side.' FUBeAR thinks that includes if they have 5 or 6 - the 'rule' (though FUBeAR cannot find the exact text) is they can't "ALL" be on one side....so 4 and 1 would be OK...FUBeAR thinks.

Anyway - from their keyboards to the Football Gods screens...but they need to work on their bracket a bit.

I don’t think there’s anyway SoCon gets four teams, but it’s a fun experiment.
