GREENSBORO, N.C. -- “Where and who?” It was the question most on S.C. State head football coach Oliver “Buddy” Pough’s mind after Saturday’s 55-0 rout over North Carolina A&T at Aggie Stadium. Having wrapped up a perfect run to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship, the 15th-ranked Bulldogs (10-2, 8-0) could now turn their full attention toward the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs and their first-round opponent.“We wanted to kind of get in here and just get through this game and win the football game,” Pough said. “Our big thought has been since last Saturday has been doing something in the playoffs. So, it was great getting in here and getting this win and we’re excited about the win. But, we really have to get something done in the playoffs.”
S.C. State will learn today whether its eight-game winning streak and fifth double-digit victory season in school history will be enough to convince the NCAA Selection Committee to award it an opening-round home game. The Bulldogs more than made their case for a higher seeding by posting a third consecutive shutout for the first time since 1971.
