Colonels have the best chance at round 3 that they ever have

I’m going to sound like a homer, but we got fricked with having to travel in the first round. Nicholls are a conference champion, swept the conference, and have to go on the road to play a team with the same number of losses and finished SEVENTH in their conference standings. frick the committee.

I get that the Southland was mostly garbage this season and that the committee doesn’t respect it at all (hence UIW missing the playoffs), but a conference winner going to a 7th place team is stupid. SIU had a 3-point win over FBS Northern Illinois in the 2nd week of the season. The committee has always placed a high value in those games regardless of the quality of the FBS team, though. And SIU beat SEMO by a point in week 3. The Colonels blew their lead and lost a non-conference game to SEMO a few weeks back. I’m sure those are the justifications from the committee. But I still think we got hosed.
