Re: NDSU vs SDSU
The point was Oakland is as good as the top team in the MVC this year. So yeah the terrible Summit League has something going for it, a team in Oakland that is capable of winning a game or two in the big dance.

Sagrin, and Palm? C'mon, those rankings are not official and are not used in any way.dbackjon wrote:Neither by Sagarin or Jerry Palm are MSU or WSU in the top 50. close, but not there.DJH wrote:
You're top 50 stat is not true. MSU and WSU are both top 50 teams, and they both have several conference losses between the two of them, so there is several top 50 wins right there. And off the top of my head, I know Evansville (the worst program in the MVC) beat top 50 butler this year.
Even in a year like this year, where the MVC is as down as it has been in over 15-20 years, it is still a significantly stronger conference.

Re: NDSU vs SDSU
Oakland is the only team team to beat a top 25 ranked school (Tennessee was #9 at the time), by my research. That is what I was talking about. Oakland vs. the MVC champ. I would have my money on Oakland.

Re: NDSU vs SDSU
You are correct. I guess I never looked at their schedule. I still think the win over Tennessee was more impressiveDJH wrote:Evansville won at Butler, who was ranked at the time.

None of those are official - Palm's ratings are historically more accurate to the secret RPI formula

Re: NDSU vs SDSU
The Valley is pretty bad this year compared to the last 10 years or so.
Missouri State and Wichita State have the talent to beat anyone in the nation BUT WSU's coach is a tool bag and his team wins despite his coaching and MSU...well...they just haven't really ever put a full game together.

Re: NDSU vs SDSU
I wouldn't say the Valley is that far down this year, there just is no dominant team like in years past. The top 5 teams are very solid, not dominant like Oakland is in the Summit.clenz wrote:The Valley is pretty bad this year compared to the last 10 years or so.

Re: NDSU vs SDSU
Take a look at the conference RPI's since about 03 until now. This year's conference couldn't touch last years UNI or WSU teams....or any team from the top 4 or 5 from the years of 04-07Thundering Herd wrote:I wouldn't say the Valley is that far down this year, there just is no dominant team like in years past.

gotta go with the Jackrabbits. We'll be hosting a party at Ben's Brewing Company in Yankton, SD. Looking forward to a great game in front of a great crowd. If the Bison win I still don't think they make the playoffs, too many other really deserving teams.
