JMU Ranked

[Turbine]

Virginia has more than 3 times the population of Louisiana. I’d be surprised if they have less talent

Agree.

Louisiana is tops per capita, but not much capita to work with.

JMU was denied again by the ncaa. No bowl no cfp ranking

[ManAboutTown]

Bad for the Belt. Good for their obnoxious fanbase.

They should still represent the East in the Sunbelt Championship game.

If they win pull out all the tiebreakers from before there was a championship game.

JMU’s “bowl game” is Saturday.

Nice season, some rules are black and white. JMU isn’t the only team being denied, just the whiniest puppy in the litter.

They might back into a bowl if enough teams don’t qualify. It’s a long shot.

They're the "whiniest puppy in the litter" because if Tulane drops a second game and JMU wins out, they'd be in line for a NY6 Bowl as the top ranked G5 conference champ.

THAT'S the issue. They have damn good reason to "whine", and considering we won't be in the conference championship game, we should support them in their "whining".

Some accused us of "whining" when Covid Carolina cancelled the SBC Champ game over BS, but we had good reason, as us winning and somehow Cincy losing (didn't happen) their game would have put us in the same position.

The NCAA is seriously screwing over James Madison right now, and the Sunbelt.

LoL! Dude, the rules were very clear when they moved up.

[Jacob81]

Yeah. Rules are the same wether you’re 6-6 or 12-0

[Cajunrunner]

Sure they were.

But come on, man. At this point, if we stand no chance of ruining the chances (we're knocked out of the SBC Champ game), we should want to see one from our conference in a NY6.

Hell, especially instead of Tulane considering in-state pickings of recruits after LSU grabs who they want.

I don’t disagree. I’d like JMU in and Tulane out. Just don’t think the ncaa screwed JMU. Now maybe with all these teams coming up they should change the rule.

The Sunbelt will participate by not letting JM play in the Sunbelt championship, all because they don't want to have a conference Champion who is staying home, denied eligibility.

Doesn't look good on the SBC. So what.

There was no conference championship game at the time but the SBC did the same thing to ULM in 2005 when they didn't even consider ULM on paper and eliminated them from championship consideration all because they didn't want a team with a losing record, to possibly be the SBC bowl representative when they couldn't go.

So they eliminated ULM and what it did was, it made Arkansas State have the tiebreaker over Louisiana in a two-way tie. Whereas with the real three-way tie that existed in 2005 Louisiana would have been the champion.

But by freaking out, the Sun Belt denied ULM, and thus denied Louisiana its rightful regular season championship.

Sunbelt could declare them conf champ in that scenario.
