COVE, TEXAS (October 17, 2015) The Lone Star Conference is going to have a fun next few weeks
figuring out which teams will represent the conference in the NCAA Division II
Playoffs and the Heart of Texas Bowl.
Currently,
through the first six games, Midwestern State and Texas A&M-Commerce have
looked unstoppable, both posting 4-0 records in LSC play.
It
is expected right now that Midwestern State and Texas A&M-Commerce will
clash for the LSC Championship on November 14, with the winner heading to
the NCAA Division II Playoffs.
Behind
Midwestern State and Texas A&M-Commerce there are three teams in LSC that
could make a late-season push into the playoff and bowl game picture - Angelo
State, Eastern New Mexico and West Texas A&M.
All
three teams currently sit at 1-2 in LSC play and will be fighting to get the
third and fourth seeds for the LSC Playoffs, which would slate them against
top-seeded Midwestern State and Texas A&M-Commerce.
Below
are potential Heart of Texas Bowl teams.

In
the next three weeks there will be some crucial games to determine seeding
for the LSC PLayoffs, but some big games happen this weekend.
On
Saturday, West Texas A&M will get a shot at Texas A&M-Commerce, which
is the game of the week and a chance for West Texas A&M to get a step
closer to one of the top four seeds.
At
the same time it is a big game for West Texas A&M considering, Angelo State
and Eastern New Mexico both could walk away with wins of its own, putting some
distance there between the fourth and fifth place slots.
Eastern
New Mexico will play Tarleton State, while Angelo State takes on Texas
A&M-Kingsville and Midwestern State faces Humboldt State (Calif.).
These
are the teams to start watching as we get closer to a Heart of Texas Bowl Game
bid being handed out.
