A win could help JMU (7-3, 5-2 CAA) secure one of the top eight seeds in the 24-team tournament, which come with a first-round bye. A loss could make things a tad dicey.

Sounds like Tier 2 could be Tier Out, if they dont take their opponents seriously. We saw how the New Hampshire game went.

-Maine, James Madison, Delaware at 6‐2: Delaware gets the automatic bid based on its win over Elon. Maine and JMU lost to Elon.

-Maine, Towson, Stony Brook at 6‐2: The only common opponents between the three schools are Villanova and Albany, and all three went 2‐0. The automatic bid would go to the highest ranked team in the final Sagarin Ratings.

-Maine, Towson, Delaware at 6‐2: Towson and Delaware beat Elon, but Maine lost to Elon, eliminating Maine from the tiebreaker. Delaware gets the automatic bid based on its head‐to‐head win over Towson.

-Maine, Towson, Stony Brook, Delaware at 6‐2: The only common opponents between the four schools are Villanova and Albany and all four went 2‐0. The automatic bid would go to the highest ranked team in the final Sagarin Ratings.
You first statement was incorrect. I didn't want to know. #walloftext

There were teams of kids' flag football staying at our hotel. Kids running around like they were on bath salts and Redbull, the parents outside smoking prob talking about how athletic they were in high school. The moms talking about how it's only diet coke tonight after pounding too many Bud Lights last night at Applebee's.
