Clemson Playoff Chances Dwindle After Loss

The 2024 CAA Football season is witnessing a historic title race with 16 teams competing, and current co-leaders Rhode Island and Richmond vying for the championship. Delaware, despite being ineligible for the playoffs due to scholarship limits, could impact the standings by facing top teams. Meanwhile, the SUNY Oneonta men’s soccer team was eliminated from the SUNYAC Semifinals after losing to Cortland State in a penalty shootout, while their women's team also fell to Cortland in the semifinals. In college football, Clemson's recent loss to Louisville has significantly reduced their chances of making the College Football Playoff, dropping their odds from 62% to 26%. Additionally, the NAIA has expanded its postseason to 20 teams, simplifying criteria for automatic berths for conference champions. As teams navigate these critical junctures in their seasons, the coming weeks will be pivotal for playoff aspirations.
