Last Four In: Tennessee State, Eastern Kentucky, New Hampshire, UT Martin
First Eight Out: SE Louisiana, Western Caolina, Chattanooga, Southern Utah, North Carolina Central, Stony Brook, Tennessee Tech, East Tennessee State
The playoff picture did not sort itself out too much during the final day of the regular season. The committee will have some difficult choices. Tennessee State, Eastern Kentucky, New Hampshire, UT Martin and Northern Arizona appear to be the five teams who we have projected in who could find themselves on the wrong side of the bubble. Southeastern Louisiana, Western Carolina, Chattanooga and Southern Utah are the four teams with the best chance to find themselves in the playoffs when the committee releases the bracket on Sunday afternoon.
