UMass wins CAA Auto-bid on a Coin Toss!

The CAA athletic directors met and concluded that UMass and Richmond were essentially tied in accomplishments.

The CAA director held a coin toss and UMass won the toss and thus the CAA Auto-bid.

Details here .

UPDATE: Woah! Things are going to be tough for the committee to pick the last CAA team in the playoffs.

UMass and Richmond as co-champs are in.

I would think that JMU at 8-3 and in clear third place in the CAA is in.

The question is---who, if anyone, gets a fourth bid from the CAA. Delaware lost. How do you parse the teams with three CAA losses? Final CAA standings here .
