A CLASSIC: NCCU hosts N.C. A&T in MEAC title tilt



DURHAM, North Carolina -- With UNC’s 45-20 Thursday night win over Duke in the rearview mirror and N.C. State enjoying a bye week, all eyes in the Triangle will be on O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium today.

That’s where MEAC leader North Carolina A&T will visit N.C. Central (2 p.m., NCCUEaglePride.com) with the possibility of one of the largest conference title logjams ever on the line.

If A&T wins, it will claim the MEAC title outright.

If the second-place Eagles (6-5, 5-2 MEAC) manage to upset A&T (9-2, 6-1 MEAC), they’ll share the conference title and could earn the league’s one guaranteed slot in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs — maybe.

Complicating matters is the fact that Morgan State (6-5, 5-2), S.C. State (7-4, 5-2) and Bethune-Cookman (8-3, 5-2) could easily tie a victorious NCCU and A&T in a five-way co-championship.
