 Week 12 Southern Conference Breakdowns

It might have seemed like a good idea at the time to schedule the No. 1 team in the nation, but not now as Chattanooga – after losing to Samford – might have to upset Alabama to make the FCS playoffs. If the Mocs (8-3, 6-2), who have a share of the SoCon title, don’t, then they could be on the outside looking in when the playoff field is announced Sunday. Chattanooga is done with its league ...

 Week 12 Southern Conference Breakdowns

It’s guaranteed a share of the league crown, but Chattanooga (8-2, 6-1) doesn’t want to share any part of the SoCon title and a victory on Saturday against Samford in Birmingham, Ala., will make that a reality. The Mocs took a big step toward that scenario on Saturday with a 20-10 triumph (its sixth straight victory) over Wofford while Furman was upsetting Samford, giving Chattanooga a share of ...

Week 11 Southern Conference Breakdowns

It has come down to this: If Chattanooga (7-2, 5-1) defeats Wofford (5-3, 4-1) on Saturday, then knocks off Samford (6-3, 4-1) in Birmingham, Ala., on Nov. 16, the Mocs will win the Southern Conference. A split of the two games and all kinds of scenarios pop up, so to make it easy, the ball is in the Mocs’ court. While Samford’s loss to The Citadel on Saturday hurts its at-large playoff ...

 Week 10 Southern Conference Breakdowns

The losing streak is over for Western Carolina, thanks to a second-half comeback and a 27-24 overtime victory on Saturday against Elon. The Catamounts (1-4, 2-7), which had lost 33 straight NCAA Division I contests and 26 consecutive Southern Conference games, earned the triumph when Richard Sigmon booted a 39-yard field goal in OT. Western Carolina had tied the score with nine seconds remaining ...

Week 9 Southern Conference Breakdowns

It’s unusual when a significant Southern Conference contest doesn’t include Georgia Southern or Appalachian State, but that’s the case Saturday when Samford (3-0, 5-2) visits Wofford (4-0, 5-2). While Chattanooga (3-1, 5-2) still has a say in the league standings, the winner of this weekend’s game in Spartanburg, S.C., will get the upper hand toward a league championship. The contest also has playoff ...

Furman Makes the Most Of Their Chances In Defeating Appalachian State

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Appalachian State made their final trip to Greenville as a member of the Southern Conference on Saturday, facing Furman one last time to close the book on their 44-game rivalry.  The Mountaineers will be a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision's Sun Belt Conference ...

 Week 7 Southern Conference Breakdowns

Samford (3-0, 5-2) gets a bye this weekend as it awaits its showdown with Wofford (3-0, 4-2) on Oct. 26 in Spartanburg, S.C. The Terriers, meanwhile, head to Cullowhee, N.C., after surviving a big-time scare from Elon last Saturday. The only other league team with fewer than two losses is Chattanooga (2-1, 4-2), who meets Wofford on Nov. 9 and Samford on Nov. 16. Two of those three should get ...
