NC Central, NC A&T meet again for MEAC title

GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- When North Carolina Central and North Carolina A&T meet on Saturday at Aggie Stadium in Greensboro, it will be the second year in a row that the Aggies-Eagles matchup will decide the MEAC championship.

If the Aggies win, they will be MEAC champions. If the Eagles win, they will share the championship with N.C. A&T. Bethune-Cookman also factors into this scenario. A win by the Wildcats over archrival Florida A&M in the Florida Classic in Orlando on Saturday (coupled with an NCCU win) and the three teams will share the conference title.

Last year, NCCU won 21-14 in Durham, which helped to create an unprecedented five-way championship with the above mentioned teams, plus South Carolina State and Morgan State. The tiebreaker rules enabled Morgan State to represent the MEAC in the FCS Playoffs.
