(STATS) -- Whos in, whos out?Eight teams have distinguished themselves for seeds and first-round byes in the 24-team FCS playoffs. Edwin Encarnacion All Star Jersey . But plenty of teams will be on edge leading into the ESPNU selection show on Sunday (11 a.m. ET).After having five teams in the field each of the past two seasons, it would be bizarre for the Missouri Valley Football Conference if three other conferences -- the Big Sky Conference, CAA Football and Southern Conference -- have more teams. Its possible if at-large hopeful Illinois States bubble is burst.On an odd final full weekend of the regular season, so many teams in contention for an at-large bid lost their game, including Liberty, Maine, Montana, Northern Colorado, Northern Iowa, Samford and Western Illinois.So there are a good seven teams in contention for the final spots. Well go Maine, New Hampshire, Samford and Weber State over Illinois State, Fordham and Southeastern Louisiana.---=PROJECTED BIDS BY CONFERENCE*- automatic qualifierBig Sky (4): Cal Poly (7-4), *Eastern Washington (10-1), North Dakota (9-2), Weber State (7-4)Big South (1): *Charleston Southern (7-3)CAA (5): Albany (7-4), *James Madison (10-1), New Hampshire (7-4), Richmond (8-3), Villanova (8-3)MEAC (1): North Carolina A&T (9-2)Missouri Valley (3): North Dakota State (10-1), *South Dakota State (8-3), Youngstown State (8-3)NEC (1): *Saint Francis (7-4)OVC (1): *Jacksonville State (10-1)Patriot (1): *Lehigh (9-2)Pioneer (1): *San Diego (9-1)Southern (4): Chattanooga (9-2), Samford (7-4), *The Citadel (10-1), Wofford (8-3)Southland (2): *Sam Houston State (11-0), Central Arkansas (9-2)---=STATS PROJECTED PAIRINGSTop 8 seeds have first-round byesSan Diego-Weber State winner at No. 1 seed North Dakota StateSaint Francis-Villanova winner at No. 8 seed North DakotaSamford-Richmond winner at No. 5 seed Sam Houston StateChattanooga-North Carolina A&T winner at No. 4 seed James MadisonLehigh-New Hampshire winner at No. 7 seed South Dakota StateAlbany-Youngstown State winner at No. 2 seed Eastern WashingtonCal Poly-Central Arkansas winner at No. 3 seed Jacksonville StateCharleston Southern-Wofford winner at No. 6 seed The Citadel Drew Storen Jersey . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Russell Martin All Star Jersey . Hazard cut in from the left and scored with a swerving right-footed shot for ninth goal of the season, which proved to be enough for the victory despite Chelseas forwards again lacking a cutting edge up front. http:///...na-blue-jays-jersey/ . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. CHICAGO -- David Ross got fired up when Cubs manager Joe Maddon walked to the mound with two out in the seventh inning, ready to argue for Jon Lester to stay in the game.Maddon and Lester had a different plan.Joe looked at him and said `Have you ever been a part of where the catcher gets taken out of the game before the pitcher? Lester said, describing the scene with a big grin. You can just see him, its like the kid at the candy store when you tell him he can pick out whatever he wants.It was just like the disbelief in his face and slams his mask back over his face and all he can say is `I love you guys. I love you guys. I love you guys.Ross then walked off to another standing ovation from a raucous crowd of 40,859 at Wrigley Field, part of a heartwarming Sunday night for the backup catcher in his last season. He also hit his 10th homer and teamed with Lester for another scoreless performance, helping the Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.It was an amazing night, Ross said.Ben Zobrist had three hits and scored two runs as Chicago finished with a major league-best 57-24 home record. Its the most home wins for the Cubs since they went 58-19 at the West Side Grounds in 1910.The Cardinals lost for the third time in four games, wasting a chance to improve their playoff positioning. They remain a half-game back of San Francisco for the second NL wild card after the Giants lost 4-3 at San Diego earlier in the day.I think were in a good position right now, pitcher Carlos Martinez said through a translator. I also think we have a great shot at winning the World Series.Ross, Lesters regular catcher, was greeted with a long standing ovation when he came to the plate in the second inning. St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina walked halfway to the mound, forcing the unassuming Ross to take in the moment, and he took off his batting helmet to acknowledge the cheering crowd.Ross then struck out, but he got another chance in the fifth and drove Martinezs second pitch over the wall in left for 1-0 lead. Ross clapped his hands as he rounded first on his 10th homer and the cheers continued after he reached the dugout, prompting a curtain call.It was just fitting that David would hit a home run, isnt it? Maddon said. I mean it had to have happened tonight.Lester (19-4), one oof the top candidates for the NL Cy Young Award, struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings. Russell Martin Jersey. The left-hander allowed three hits and walked one while improving to 10-0 with 1.34 ERA in his last 13 starts.It was Lesters idea to pull Ross in the middle of an inning.Hes like a brother to me and for him to give me that was pretty cool, Ross said.The Cardinals pulled within one on Jhonny Peraltas two-out RBI single in the eighth, but Brandon Moss flied to center with runners on the corners. Willson Contreras responded with an RBI single in the bottom half and Aroldis Chapman worked the ninth for his 16th save with the NL Central champions and No. 36 on the year.Martinez (15-9), pitching with a heavy heart after the death of Miami pitcher Jose Fernandez in a boating accident, allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked four.He had lots of juice, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Its probably the hardest sinker Ive ever seen him throw. A couple of those were 97 (mph). He was locked in. He wanted it bad today, and he was good enough for us to win.RESTING AND MOURNINGSt. Louis shortstop Aledmys Diaz, who is dealing with some arm fatigue, got the day off. Diaz also was a childhood friend of Fernandez.Matheny said he would have scratched Diaz had he been in the lineup. Diaz declined an interview request through a team spokeswoman.Hes pretty stoic. You see how he goes about his business, Matheny said. Thats kind of how hes handling this right now. He was a close, close friend, so hes trying to figure out how to mourn for his friend right now and take all the information in. None of that is easy.UP NEXTCardinals: LHP Jaime Garcia (10-12, 4.59 ERA) faces Cincinnati RHP Tim Adleman (2-4, 4.06 ERA) on Monday night in the opener of a seven-game homestand. After four against the last-place Reds, the Cardinals finish the regular season with a three-game series against Pittsburgh.Cubs: RHP Kyle Hendricks (15-8, 2.06 ERA) pitches for Chicago in the opener of a four-game series at Pittsburgh. RHP Chad Kuhl (5-3, 3.73 ERA) gets the ball for the Pirates on Monday night.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
