Why should App State be seeded/ranked ahead of EWU?

[jd of de]

More "Back East" hate. I guess no one "Out West" has ever said anything negative about your current state of affairs. Geographic hate so ugly. You should stop practicing it.

It's because Gannon and 89Hen are so familiar with SUU and GWC football...

He provided two good examples. Move along.

So call them out for their comments and leave the tired old geographic hate out of it. Now that "hes" been called out I will move along.

I might give Gannon the benefit of the doubt but 89 made that comment exactly because of where he's located. Regardless, neither one would make the comment if they were located somewhere within eyesight of the Rocky Mountains. Embrace the ECB, it's real and awesome.

Never said that people out here never have doubted us. In fact i even said that its taken a bit but we are finally starting to get some respect from the teams out here. Just need to read is all.

[Pwns]

It can be argued either way...

SUU>Jacksonville and SUU is better than record shows (I agree)
but...
31 point win over JU > 7 point win over SUU
Wofford > any team EWU has beaten
7 point OT loss in rivalry game in Statesboro > 23 point regulation loss in Bozeman

and finally, while we don't know what will happen this week
Florida>Nevada Sorry, but you know that's true.

[89Hen]

Not just that but thanks for the ribbon anyways . We are a good team and i expect us to have a really good shot at making the playoffs next year.

You said the same thing 12 months ago. Fool me once...

Look, nobody came even close to saying SUU sucks, but the truth is, you were ONE game better than last year with many identical results. Go 8-3 next year and you will make believers out of all of us. It has NOTHING to do with east coast/west coast.

Who wants to bet me that Eastern Washington University will win the Nat' Championship this year?

I'll take some of that action....

ASU has looked better in conference and out of conference.

In Conference:

Both have 1 loss - ASU lost in overtime by 7 and EWU lost by 23
ASU beat the number 4 team by 30
Average margin of victory in conference:
ASU - 14 EWU - 7

Out of conference:

Compare CWU to NCCU (DII vs. D1): EWU won by 3, ASU won by 28
Compare Jacksonville (ranked 20th) to SUU (ranked 36th): EWU won by 7, ASU won by 31

I won't comment on the FBS game since ASU hasn't played theirs yet. How can you argue these numbers?

Well I can argue the average margin of victory in conference because apparently basic math is an area of emphasis in the Boonies. EWU's average margin of victory in conference is 11.8, ASU's is 16.4. However, we have one conference game left to play, and being that it's against ISU, those averages are likely going to even out.

Computer rankings have SUU at 28, JU at 32. Edge still ASU with the margin of victory. NCCU however is 121. CWU would beat NCCU by 21. Yes, NCCU is D-I and CWU is D-II, but that's like comparing New Mexico State or San Jose State to Montana or UNI.

ASU does however have the better win with the shallacking of Wofford, vs. EWU's win over UM. ASU holds the edge, but not by a lot, IMO.

LOL... basic math? I included all conference games for each team and you only included the wins in your averages. Sounds like you're having trouble with basic logic.

Average margin of VICTORY. Not average margin.

Well, isn't that convenient.

"Hey guys, I know we got blown out by Montana State.... but, can you just ignore that for the sake of argument, please."

I also conveniently left out App's loss to an unranked opponent.

I'm in! I want a Montana hat of my choice when I win.

ranked in everthing but 2. And they're 26 in both of those.

GPI- 20
AGS- 21
cs.com- 23
Sagarin- 16
Massey- 18
Laz Index- 18
Keeper- 19
Ashburn- 24
Self- 24
Sauceda- 14
Coaches- 26
Sports Network- 26



And, a loss in overtime in Statesboro looks MUCH better than a 30-7 beatdown.

How much would App have lost by if Presley went down right before halftime?

You're jealous of wee bandle's shirt, aren't ya?

[Skjellyfetti]

Probably the same score considering Appalachian was shut out the last 3 quarters of the Georgia Southern game.

Yeah, but I bet he moved the ball and changed field position for you guys.

If you want to talk about hurt QBs, the only reason GSU is unranked is because we lost to Samford, and the only reason we lost to Samford is because Jaybo Shaw wasn't 100% and only played for about a half.
