Hmm..interesting scenario. W&M lost, so Elon finishes with sole possession of 3rd place….and there’s a mess of teams in 4th.
Both W&M (3 game skid) and Rhody (2-4 in its last 6) likely may have played themselves right out of the playoffs. Rhody has an FBS win, so they may be ok at 7-4 overall.
Guys, quite honestly…albeit it extraordinary slim…but Elon does now have a shot at the playoffs. Read tonight 6 wins is the “threshold” now, finished the season strong, 3rd in the CAA, one of the nation’s top QBs, and should now be in the top 30 of the composite tomorrow morning…
Fairy interesting.

So happy for the team. Regardless of the playoffs (or not) they improved during year and I think that is something we should be impressed with. I hope they enjoy their celebration. Especially, Jaylen Thomas what a great game for him.

Looks like there’s probably about 10 teams “on the bubble”. Mercer EKU Elon W&M URI Monmouth Weber Stephen F Northern I. FAMU Maybe Chatt. and VMI also in this list?? Probably these teams in consideration for 3 spots. The CAA quite possibly could only be a 2 bid league this year. Man, that loss to Wofford….probably the playoff killer for Elon

So proud of the team. Don’t look now guys….but I was saying this in my Playoffs thread about the possibility. Got shredded then so surprised y’all are bringing up now like it is new news.

Yup, and I was one of those nay-sayers:) I will say though, looking at the Massey composite this morning….don’t think we’ll make it in. It is a real, real big long shot (Elon at 36). Looking pretty likely that the CAA only gets in 2 this year. The one 6-5 with the strongest argument is Northern Iowa. Most FCS “experts” aren’t even talking about Elon in bubble conversations, unless it’s in regards to Rhody playing themselves out with the loss yesterday….likely the correct line of thinking omitting Elon from discussions to be honest. Think FAMU, Stephen F Austin, and Northern Iowa will take those last 3 spots….kind of sucks because a first round regional matchup with Elon/Davidson (auto qualifier from the Pioneer) is pretty intriguing.
