Yes, really. UNI already lost to two of the top 4 and by season end will be 0-3 vs the top 4. That alone tells you there is a big difference.kalm wrote:Not really.89Hen wrote:

Re: Playoff projection thread
You could definitely make a case for Illinois State, but the fact that they've beaten nobody tells you how awful things are this year.Gil Dobie wrote:UNH FCS losses to Holy Cross and Delaware, Illinois St only fcs losses to NDSU and UNI.BDKJMU wrote: The Top 25 polls are garbage though.

Anyone who has argued against 93 and me about the sad state of I-AA has to admit defeat this year.
Re: Playoff projection thread
Truth. The Woff'ed team was in a semi against Delaware just a few years before IIRC?

Re: Playoff projection thread
Furman has lost two FCS games in two years one of which was to a surging Citadel who beat GT. Sac has one FCS loss where the back up comes in and quickly throws two picks that turned the game. UCA has one FCS loss and an FBS win plus two wins over probable playoff teams. SDSU has played a weak schedule and is lacking quality wins although their two losses were ok. Separation is occurring but not quite a chasm.89Hen wrote:Yes, really. UNI already lost to two of the top 4 and by season end will be 0-3 vs the top 4.

Re: Playoff projection thread
To make a case for teams being good, I much prefer talking about wins, not losses. Show me who they've beaten. More often than not you end up with circular crap like Kennesaw/Jacksonville State where they're both ranked highly so one of them gets credit for a good win and the other gets their loss dismissed because it was to a highly ranked team.kalm wrote:Furman has lost two FCS games in two years one of which was to a surging Citadel who beat GT.

Do you really think anyone 5+ has a good shot to beat one of the top 4? I can't recall a year where I would have said no before this one.

If they had played a complete FCS schedule they’d be 3-7 right now

Re: Playoff projection thread
Yes. I think UNI has a shot against SDSU. I think UNI would have a shot against Weber in a rematch. I haven't seen JMU play this year so I can't say if I think they have a shot against them.89Hen wrote:Do you really think anyone 5+ has a good shot to beat one of the top 4?

UNI is young and inconsistent but they're putting it together and could be a threat in the playoffs.

I don't have to swallow anything. It's your opinion and about as factual as some of JSO's political opinions. You're entitled to it but I don't have to agree with it.

A typical year last decade, you'd have five strong CAA teams, three or four strong SoCon teams, three strong Gateway teams, and a couple of strong Big Fluffs in every playoff field. There's nothing similar among the conferences now.

Re: Playoff projection thread
Look West and the Ivy's. The Ivy's, might just have a stronger conference this year. Princeton and Dartmouth could compete in the MVFC and could possibly challenge JMU in the CAA. Richmond losing to Yale as an example. CAA is not the barometer of whether FCS is up or down, it's a barometer of whether the CAA is up or down.93henfan wrote:That's a damning stat, because each recent year before now, the apologists would cite FBS wins.89Hen wrote: Why?
