Another great article. Not as harried a process as people would have you believe. If you finish out strong with at least eight good FCS wins and a competitive non conference schedule to go with it, you should get in.

Statement from the MEAC regarding the tie-breaking procedure in the event our Aggies don't win on Saturday:
In the event of a tie, the head-to-head criteria would be used first. The automatic bid will be awarded to the team with the best record against the other tied teams, regardless if all have played each other. If a tie still remains, a points system based on the tied teams’ non-conference record would determine the team that will be awarded the Conference’s automatic bid.
If North Carolina A&T State and North Carolina Central tie for first, then North Carolina Central earns the automatic bid based on its head-to-head win over North Carolina A&T State. Three (3) three-way ties are possible.
The three-way tie including Morgan State, North Carolina A&T State, and North Carolina Central all finishing at number one would give North Carolina A&T State the Conference’s automatic bid. North Carolina A&T State would earn the bid based on its eight (8) point advantage in non-conference play. Because all teams remained tied after the first criteria, head-to-head, then the automatic bid was awarded based on non-conference wins.
If North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State finish at number one, a three-way tie would occur and North Carolina Central would earn the Conference’s automatic bid. In this scenario N.C. Central would hold head-to-head wins over both North Carolina A&T State and South Carolina State.
If Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, and North Carolina Central finish at number one, three-way tie, then Bethune-Cookman will receive the conference’s automatic bid based on its record versus all-tied teams.
Three (3) four-way ties are possible.
If North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central, Morgan State and South Carolina State all finish in first place, then Morgan State will receive the conference’s automatic bid based on its record versus all-tied teams.
If Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State finish first, then North Carolina Central will receive the Conference’s automatic bid. Again, this determination would be based on N.C. Central’s record versus all-tied teams.
If Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central, and Morgan State finish at number one, then Bethune-Cookman will receive the Conference’s automatic bid. The determination of the bid is based on the B-CU’s record versus all-tied teams.
A five-way tie is possible.
The possibility of a five-way tie exists if Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central, Morgan State and South Carolina State all finish at 6-2 in conference play. Each team will share the conference title and Morgan State will receive the conference’s automatic bid to the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS Championship based on its record versus all-tied teams.
MEAC Tiebreaker: 1. If NCAT wins: (AQ: NCAT) 2. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU loses, SCSU loses and MSU loses: (AQ: NCCU) 3. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU loses, MSU wins, SCSU loses (AQ: NCAT) 4. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU loses, MSU loses, and SCSU wins (AQ: NCCU) 5. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU wins, SCSU loses and MSU loses (AQ: BCU) 6. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU loses, MSU wins, and SCSU wins (AQ: MSU) 7. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU wins, MSU loses and SCSU wins (AQ: NCCU) 8. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU wins, MSU wins and SCSU loses (AQ: BCU) 9. If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU wins, MSU wins, and SCSU wins: (AQ: MSU)

I AGREE!!! Basically, the loss to SCSU hurts in a tie. So...we just have to win, because "We Don't want to Share!"

Never mind all this "if, then" crap...we just need to take care of business this Saturday...period! And if we cannot beat NCCU to be the outright MEAC Champions, we don't need to go anywhere. There I said it...this is a big game, we are healthy, we have better athletes, better coaches, a better record and a better reason to win. If we don't take advantage of that, folks we need to stay home.
See you all in Durham and don't even try to explain what happens if...we are going to take care of our business cause...that's what Aggies do!

From the Orangeburg Times & Democrat: thetandd.com/sports/s-c-state-does-not-get-fcs-bid-under-any/article_54fb4ba0-7072-11e4-9052-9bc3e095058e.htmlS.C. State does not get FCS bid under any MEAC tiebreaker scenarioNovember 19, 2014 @ 1:04 a.m. • T&D Staff Report S.C. State Coach Buddy Pough said this week his Bulldogs are now playing to claim a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title, with an FCS playoff berth out of reach after Saturday’s loss to Morgan State. On Thursday, the conference outlined why S.C. State cannot make the playoff under any scenario. Saying the MEAC “hopes to shed light on the conference title race and football tiebreaker procedures,” the conference explained things as follows: The MEAC’s tiebreaker process is solely to determine which team will receive the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division I FCS Championship. In the event of a tie for the conference title, all teams included in the tie will share the title and be named co-champions. First and foremost, if North Carolina A&T defeats North Carolina Central, then North Carolina A&T will earn the conference’s regular season title and MEAC’s automatic bid to the FCS Championship. A loss by North Carolina A&T State would trigger one or multiple ties that could affect Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T, North Carolina Central, Morgan State and South Carolina State based on each team’s regular season finish. In the event of a tie, the head-to-head criteria would be used first. The automatic bid will be awarded to the team with the best record against the other tied teams, regardless if all have played each other. If a tie still remains, a points system based on the tied teams’ non-conference record would determine the team that will be awarded the Conference’s automatic bid. If North Carolina A&T State and North Carolina Central tie for first, then North Carolina Central earns the automatic bid based on its head-to-head win over North Carolina A&T State. Three three-way ties are possible. The three-way tie including Morgan State, North Carolina A&T State and North Carolina Central all finishing at No. 1 would give North Carolina A&T the conference’s automatic bid. North Carolina A&T would earn the bid based on its eight-point advantage in non-conference play. Because all teams remained tied after the first criteria, head-to-head, then the automatic bid was awarded based on non-conference wins. If North Carolina A&T, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State finish at No. 1, a three-way tie would occur and North Carolina Central would earn the conference’s automatic bid. In this scenario, N.C. Central would hold head-to-head wins over both North Carolina A&T State and South Carolina State. If Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State and North Carolina Central finish at No. 1 in a three-way tie, then Bethune-Cookman will receive the conference’s automatic bid based on its record vs. all-tied teams. Three four-way ties are possible. If North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central, Morgan State and South Carolina State all finish in first place, then Morgan State will receive the conference’s automatic bid based on its record vs. all-tied teams. If Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State finish first, then North Carolina Central will receive the conference’s automatic bid. Again, this determination would be based on N.C. Central’s record vs. all-tied teams. If Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central, and Morgan State finish at No. 1, then Bethune-Cookman will receive the conference’s automatic bid. The determination of the bid is based on the B-CU’s record vs. all-tied teams. A five-way tie is possible. The possibility of a five-way tie exists if Bethune-Cookman, North Carolina A&T State, North Carolina Central, Morgan State and South Carolina State all finish at 6-2 in conference play. Each team will share the conference title and Morgan State will receive the conference’s automatic bid to the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS Championship based on its record vs. all-tied teams.

If NCCU wins, NCAT loses, BCU wins, MSU wins, and SCSU wins: (AQ: MSU) Scenario #9 - Morgan State will represent the MEAC in the FCS playoffs. The FCS playoff selection show airs on ESPN Sunday morning at 11 a.m. ET. I'm hoping our Aggies secure an at-large bid.

They are still ranked 25th in the country and they have an FBS win over Florida International. They are still in it.

I'm still hoping that we have that outside chance to get an at-large bid...but I really think that BCU will get one, especially since they are still ranked and won today.

They are still ranked 25th in the country and they have an FBS win over Florida International. They are still in it. I could see that. Who knows what the committee's thought process will be. We know Morgan State is getting the AQ but they have so many other variables to look at. We blew out the AQ from the conference, Bethune beat an FBS opponent, we lost to Coastal by only a point. I will certainly be watching tomorrow morning to see what they decide
