Virginia has understandably canceled their home finale against Coastal Carolina. I wouldn't blame them if they wanted to cancel the rest of their season.
He's gonna have his hands full, these are bad programs. They were good at one time, though, so maybe he can turn them around.
My issue centers around the HBCU treating their classic bowls as a priority (which they understandably should) and then decrying that the FCS Playoffs don't choose their 3rd or 4th best team in the division because the best two teams are playing the bowl game instead and/or have outrighted stated they don't care about the playoffs, which further hurts the perspective from the playoff committee. With all that said, Jackson State, who are 11-0, are going to be playing a 6-5 Prairie View A&M squad so that also hurts Florida A&M's point of being in a strong enough conference.As an FCS grad and fan, the HBCUs belong in the playoffs and the NCAA needs to accommodate them to participate and also have their Classic bowls. I'm not paid to figure out the logistics. I just know we've played enough SWAC teams at home to know they bring a crowd and will make huge bank for the NCAA. And if the SWAC team hosts a playoff game, that'll be a sell out game. You get Jacksonville State @ Grambling you're going to have to build another set of stands to fit the fans.
Also, I'm a fatty and Southern, Grambling, and Texas Southern had some damn good tailgating hospitality for the band. I wasn't enrolled for Prairie View or the handful of D2 HBCUs that we've played, but I smelt what I smelt, and it smelt good. Good way to get a bunch of rednecks to behave, tailgating friendships. Holy shit the neckbeards hugging and high fiving the Grambling tailgating fans was the most profound thing I've seen for race relations since Forrest Gump gave that nice lady, Vivian, her textbook.
Eastern Michigan tied with Toledo for first in the MAC West, but lost the head-to-head tiebreaker. Still, EMU won 8 games for the first time since 1987 and swept Central Michigan and Western Michigan for the first time since 2012. Chris Creighton has worked miracles with that program.Ohio (9-3, 7-1) won the Mid-American Conference East Division and will play for its first league title since 1968 when it faces Toledo on Dec. 3 in Detroit.
