We'll see what you say after Sac runs the table the rest of the way.

GGGRRRRRR!!!

You of all people should know that Montana does not travel to SFA.....SFA travels to Montana.

I don't know at this rate...

I'd LOVE for RMU to come to LU for that first round so we can show how much of a fluke that game really was. RMU is not better than Liberty. Period.

I forgot about that. Was mostly going off of who I thought would draw/make bids.

It has been proven over and over. The Southland comes to Missoula to end their seasons. It is just written in stone. It is just the way things are. Dogs chase cats. I kill wolves. Ursus likes D-cups. Willie, WR, SH are kickers....and suck. It is just one of those things.

you really think that Montana has an argument for a seed? riiiiight.

Though given their attendance tendancies, I could see the committee making a point to place them in the bracket so that they don't have to face a seed until as late as possible (and thus could host an additional game).

Now why the fuck do I suck?

Either way they could only play one game before they faced a seed.

Not even a mention in the at-large consideration category.

Still think people are over looking MSU but considering your preseason picks that doesn't surprise me.

Have one of the easiest schedules left with only @UNI really being the only non-winnable game probably. Have SIU, WIU, and NDSU at home and have SDSU and ISU(b) on the road. All winnable games and with what I have seen from each team so far, they should be.

MSU surprised a lot of people with a convincing win over YSU last week and will continue to do so!

You say UNI has a "favorable" schedule from here on out. How so?

I believe 5 of the last 7 are on the road, including at SIU, at YSU, and at WIU. I'd say that is very difficult, and certainly not favorable.

You forgot Cal poly.

No, he didn't. He ECB'd it.

MSU lost to a team that hasn't beat anyone of note yet and barely beat a DII. MSU doesn't get the benefit of a doubt that comes with being in the playoff X number of years running, going to be hard to get projected into the brackets in Week 5. Worry about it 4 weeks from now, presuming MSU keeps winning.

So what holds one team down may not hold another team down? Makes sense.

Where is ISU(r)'s and YSU playoff X number of years running? Neither team has made the playoffs since 06 and both only once in the last 8 years. Yes, I realize that is one more than MSU but still, that shouldn't earn any benefit of the doubt either. If ISU(r) hasn't beaten anyone of note, then YSU hasn't either. Both are being mentioned above MSU for some reason in every poll and playoff prediction.

We didn't go to UM in 2005...everyone came to TXST. So, it's not written in stone. We got GSU in round 1 that year.

Other than LU not playing RMU again, looks good to me.

In that scenario you could just flip it around, and have WoCo at LU and RMU at SCSU. Or maybe RMU and Colgate (probably at Colgate) and then have LU either go to SCSU, host SCSU, or get sent out west. Or host WoCo.

*shrug* I actually hadn't looked really. ISU did beat MSU. YSU, though they haven't been since 2005 (yes?), have a strong tradition so people are more likely to assume they're the real thing early in a year. WIU beat a ranked team (and are ranked themselves) so they're getting love from this projection.

Like I mentioned in the section on the autobid, anyone in the top 6 could still win the valley.

MSU has both 2-0 teams left and is half a game behind ISU red (and lost the head to head).

I can't make that strong of an argument for anyone in the MVFC, as shown by them being a one bid league. Best chance for an at-large is for 2-3 teams to separate themselves. At this point the league wants WIU, UNI, and maybe one of the one loss teams to win out, and then maybe split with each other. WIU and UNI are in with only one more loss, the other teams would be debatable.

UNI @ SIU is important for conference, but UNI also can't afford to lose at USD next weekend.

RMU had (not many) more yard rushing, more yards passing, held onto the ball better, punted better, and there was no weather excuse. Liberty might be better, but in what way was the Colonial win a "fluke"?

When did the Big Sky move to the East Coast?

This thread is much more quiet than I expected.

Agree...not sure how you consider RMU's win over Liberty a fluke.
