Is there still a chance at a playoff?

[Bleedinbluengold]

Here's a quote from Dougherty's column today:

"The 16th team in the field is probably Youngstown State, or maybe Cal Poly or Richmond. All three teams have 8-3 overall records, and are co-champions in very tough leagues. Any of the three boast a better resume than South Carolina State (9-2), Lafayette (8-3) or any at-large hopeful that finished 7-4.

So the only somewhat tough decisions for the committee late into the night on Saturday should be who to match up and who to give the No. 4 seed to. Montana almost certainly lost its chance at a seed with the loss to the Bobcats, and the final seed now figures to go to Texas State, Furman or Northern Iowa. New Hampshire, Appalachian State and Hampton appear to be in position to claim seeds after winning on Saturday.

It all seems pretty easy right now, but we’ll see if the committee has anything surprising in store very soon."

Cats won't get in ahead of Cal Poly - no way. Here's the link to whole article.
