In 2021 FL A&M played in the Championship Playoffs.
Are they the only SWAC Team who is willing to play in the post Season if good enough to earn a Spot?
The SWAC division winners play in a SWAC championship game. It is only when another SWAC team (FAMU in this case at 9-2) is able to get an at-large berth will they play in the championship playoffs.
FAMU’s two losses were to Jackson State 6-7, and FBS team South Florida 17-38.
