GVSU has jumped to #1 in the region followed by the MAVs of UNO. UND drops to 3rd, followed by SVSU, SCSU and Northwood. The good news for Northwood is there is currently no team in an "earned access" spot. C. Washington jumps to 7th, followed by UMD and USD. Ashland keeps there slim hopes alive. Winona St beat a poor Wayne St (Neb) team and dropped to 11th. CSP jumps to 12th and plays 11th Winona St this week for a possible spot in the 1 top 10 and an earned access spot. Things will get interesting. BTW: Why did UNO jump over UND in the rankings? Two reasons, head to head win over UND at UND and SOS. UNO is 7-2 with wins over SCSU, UNO, UCW, and SCSU. The win over NWMSU also could help if they win this weekend. That would mean they would have 5 wins over teams with a 0.700 winning percentage or better. That is big bonus points in the computer program the NCAA has come up with. Also, In my computer model, UNO is ahead of GVSU despite the 2 losses to GVSU's none. The reason, The GLIAC's bottom sucks this season. They have beat each other up so bad that it's hurting the top teams. The schedule doesn't help either. With Ashland not playing SVSU or NU it really hurts both Northwood and Ashland.

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this: What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

Northern won't be a problem as we seem to beat them every year. In fact they have won only twice since 1991. Throw in an upset or two in the last 3 games and Ferris finishes at 6-5

Look who is at 105. SVSU. WOW!

Well if that is the case GVSU has not that much more of a chance since they are barely beating GLIAC doormats and have not really played anyone yet.

Latest Massey poll has us at #59 and not looking to good as far as our chances of winning. But we will give it a shot. You will have your hands full though with the top 3 teams in the GLIAC come playoffs.

How about letting us start 12 players on both offense and defense? Maybe we might have a fighting chance then?

Looks like Kaul since he started last game and wasn't injured. Didn't realize that Indians still ate dog food though? With all them casinos you would think they could afford steak now.

News flash. Kaul back in the saddle after recovering from his injury. CJ was benched last game. His numbers against @Findlay (3-3) were PASSING: Ferris State-Ryan Kaul 21-31-0-393 in a 34-31 win.

Call it his first start jitters. He also had 67 yards rushing.

You say... "Glee-ack"

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise coming your way!

Give me a break. GV barely squeaked by Ashland 14-10 and Ashland squeked by Ferris. 24-21. If we can't beat UND then GV better worry a lot if they make it to the PO. And as I recall you didn;t fare much better against Indy who also barely beat us 10-7. Our record is decieving. Just keep talking your dung.

C J VanWieren... the guy is unstoppable. A 2cnd year sophomore who has grabbed the reins of the Ferris offense. Check out his stats in his first start last week. 413 yards of passing and rushing by him. Unbelievable. You will get to see him in a couple of weeks. Good luck.

from MLIVE http://www.mlive.com/forums/gliac/index.ssf 4522. Will anyone beat GVSU? by NoLo19, 9/7/05 12:58 ET Are you kidding me, 61-10 over Gannon. It might be time to go I-AA already. Half your starters began their careers at I-A schools for God's sake. There are no more challenges at the II level. You might lose once a year, but then it is a long playoff run. Can anyone beat this team? Only if they beat themselves with costly turnovers.

About as silly as 45-0?

I pretended to be Allen Fiegel trying to raise a little cain last November. I apologize to Allen for pretending to be him. Sorry for any embarrassment it may have caused you. Now go Bulldogs in 2005 and beat GVSU and UND.

You guys were real lucky that these three were out injured in the GVSU game from week before as was GVSU. QB- Dan Mettlach SR Michigan Tech RB- Lee Marana SO Michigan Tech OL- Joe Berger SR Michigan Tech That is nearly 30% of the offensive all region team.

Will it be televised over the internet? I for one would pay the $8.95 to watch it and so would many GLIAC fans.
