Montana State, Abilene Christian, Richmond and Incarnate Word have joined Mercer in the playoffs. Those four teams clinched their conferences’ auto-bid this week. The Big South / OVC will go down to the final game between Southeast Missouri State and Tennessee State. A win for the Tigers and they will share the regular season title with the Redhawks. That would likely get both teams into the playoffs.
