Bison fans complain constantly about the officiating in the MVFC as well

You mean the free pass of being charged with and pleading guilty to being minors in a bar?

You hit a women and that counts as 3 strikes because you are done.

Interesting how a story develops.

You have 6 teams(C. Arkansas, Chattanooga, Villanova, Richmond, SDSU, and UND) who are likely in the hunt for the 7 and 8 seeds which would logically lead you to these teams are your 7th through 12th best teams.......unfortunately for SDSU and UND, if they don't get one of these 2 seeds they will effectively get slotted between 15 and 18 in the playoff brackets.

It would seem that the top 6 seeds are pretty much locked up except for the final order. The final 2 spots seem to be attainable for Central Arkansas and Chattanooga should they win out or at least beat their FCS opponents as Chattanooga finishes with Alabama. UND, SDSU, Richmond, Villanova, and possibly NC A&T(would need to lose their season finale to not make their bowl game but then would be eligible for playoffs) would be in line for a seed if they slip up down the stretch. Games beneficial for UND, assuming we handle our business of Saturday SDSU plays the Yotes this week and then finishes at UNI.....a loss to either would help Villanova probably has to defeat JMU this weekend and if they do they would probably have a pretty good claim. Richmond is not going to lose the rest of the season and will finish 9-2....getting crushed by Stony Brook could work to our advantage. NC A&T is in a catch 22 situation. Central Arkansas plays Nichols and SHSU, we need them to lose both or at least lose badly to SHSU Chattanooga has a tough game with Wofford which we need them to lose and Alabama game should take care of itself. If UND wins we should be no worse than 9th or 10th in the conversation but we need to be prepared for how rinky dink regionalization of the playoffs can be as we will end up with the equivalency of a 15-18 seed.

Lots of wheels in motion here. For now he can safely say he is in favor knowing that unless W. Illinois drops football or leaves the MVFC that it is going to be a no from them so the Summit decision won't matter the way things are being discussed currently.

I will be interested to see how Brock looks in the World Juniors this year. He had a hard time finding open ice last year which was the biggest difference I noticed for N. Schmaltz in comparing his first year at World Juniors where he struggled to find space compared to last year where he was consistently one of the best players on the ice.

Ha. Baby steps son, baby steps. Big 10 is in a position to overtake ECAC for 3rd and not too far behind Hockey East at the moment for 2nd. Non Conference winning percentage(with Atlantic Hockey removed for obvious reason) NCHC .620 Hockey East .585 Big 10 .577 ECAC .438 WCHA .273

Oral Roberts is a private school and they are again in the Summit so Bresciani would have the same cover Taylor had with regard to Summit League meeting minutes

Bring back baseball and I am willing to listen

For me it was an awesome moment to witness and the noise was off the charts.....but then UND took the ice to play Michigan and i was over it.....don't get me wrong I jabbed a few Gopher fans about it over the years but would never buy Holy Cross merchandise....let alone wear it

And if nothing else it was interference......the puck was long gone.

I look at the rankings as a snapshot or a painting still being finished as all the data hasn't been collected yet.

I don't think it matters where NC A&T is ranked as their conference opts out of the FCS playoffs.

and an even smaller man

tickets are sold

Buffet has financial interests, Soros and his ilk have an interest in chaos.

next 2 words he should hear. "You're fired"

Update

2 tickets in lower Bowl Section 106 for Friday Night(11/11) against Denver. $75/each. Tickets are in Fargo. PM me here or call/text 701-238-7384

For many of those who are down their protesting. This is their job and they are being paid.

But if they raise ticket prices shouldn't the revenue go up? Sorry, the political season is wearing on me and I just thought I would try and get used to democrat rule.

I will take a stab at the playoff picture. I am including teams that still have a chip, a chair, and a chance. Big Sky -8 teams fighting for possibly 5 spots, but more than likely 4 spots. UND(6-2)...control own destiny, win out and likely have a home game and with a little help, possibly a bye. Can afford one slip up but that plummets them to the bottom of the pile, 2 losses and they need a ton of games to go their way. The committee ignored UND playing well at the end of the year last year, they won't ignore UND stumbling down the stretch. EWU(6-1)...should handle Idaho St. and Portland State and if they beat Montana and Cal Poly they will be a top 4 seed. Lose 1 and they are still in reasonably good shape for a first round bye. Weber State(5-2)...probably need to win 3 to get in. Should handle Idaho St. and they have NAU at home so need to pick off UND on the road or Cal Poly at home. Cal Poly(5-2)...should handle Sac St. and UNC at home. tough games remaining against EWU and at Weber St. With win over Montana and at SDSU they might hang on with 4 losses but probably need to win 3 of 4 down the stretch. NAU(4-4)...Need to win out and probably hope Western Illinois does the same. Montana(5-2)...In good position even with a loss to EWU this weekend. Should finish 8-3 at worst. UNC(4-3)...need to win out which would mean running out UND, Montana, and Cal Poly to finish the season. S. Utah(3-4)....need to win out and that includes upsetting FBS team BYU. Big South --should be one spot available but if Charleston Southern slips up it could cost someone else a slot. Charleston Southern(4-2)...should run the season out and finish 8-2...finish with Liberty and Kennesaw State who are the teams that could muck things up. Liberty(4-3)...with their losses to FBS teams SMU and Va. Tech and #2 FCS Jax State they can make a case if they beat Coastal Carolina to finish the season but if they can beat Charleston Southern the week before they will win the conference(assuming they handle their other weak conference games). Kennesaw State(5-2)....need to run the table and hope Charleston Southern handles Liberty. CAA --fighting for 4 spots and good shot at 5. JMU(6-1)...should handle URI and Elon...2 big road games with Richmond and Villanova sandwiched between those games will determine if they are getting the first week off. Stony Brook(5-2)....if they can beat UNH this weekend they would need to choke to not make playoffs and at least a share of conference title. Richmond(7-1)....Huge game with JMU will determine who gets the first week off. Will finish 10-1 or 9-2. Villanova(6-2)....2 easy games and a matchup with JMU....8-3 probably gets them in. UNH(5-3)....need to win out, starting with Stony Brook this weekend. Very winnable remaining games. Maine(4-3)....need to run the table which includes Stony Brook, Villanova, and New Hampshire. Albany(4-3)....need to run the table and get some help. William & Mary(3-4).....need to run the table and have some other teams trip up. MVC ---likely getting 5 spots. SDSU(5-2).....2-2 and they are still probably in, 3-1 and they are in a good position, 4-0 and they get a week off. NDSU(6-1)....some tough games left, but they are the champs for a reason. Run it out and they are watching the first week. Interesting matchup at UNI as UNI is almost out of rope. If USD wins out to get to 7-3 it might be an interesting game in Vermillion as well. Bison are probably done with the losses part of their season. Youngstown(5-2)....should finish 3-1 and make the playoffs. USD(4-3)....definitely some meat on the bone left for the Yotes. Need to go 3-1 to have a shot which includes home games with WIU and NDSU and a roadtrip to Brookings. UNI(3-4).....with NDSU, WIU, and SDSU still on their schedule they probably need to win out although if a 6-5 team was to get in it would probably be them, especially if EWU, Montana, USD, and Youngstown finish strong as 3 of them will likely be in the playoffs. Indiana State(4-4)....just need to beat NDSU, UNI, and Youngstown......so your telling me their is a chance! Missouri St.(3-4)....need to win out and get help. NEC conference winner is in, that should be it.* St. Francis(5-3)....still have Sacred heart and Wagner on schedule Wagner(4-3)....need to win out. Bryant(3-4)....need to win conference games and hope St. Francis loses twice...would probably be in playoffs with a 6-5 record as they have a non conference game with C. Carolina. Sacred Heart(6-1)....*probably need to win out to win the conference, but if they finish 9-2 with a win over the CAA champion does that give them consideration? Duquesne(4-3)....need to win out and need St. Francis to dump 2. OVC Should be a 1 bid conference.* Jacksonville State(6-1)...should run out the season to finish 10-1 and have a weekend off. If they lose a game it could create a quagmire. Tennessee-Martin(4-4)...*.run the table including the finale against Jacksonville State and win the conference and another at large bid disappears. Tennessee State(5-2)...*need the above to happened and run the table creating a 3 way tie for first in conference. Eastern Illinois(5-3)....*need to run the table and a Tenn-Martin win over Jax and create a 3 way tie for first. Patriot should be a 1 bid conference Lehigh(6-2)...win out and win conference. lose a game and it gets messy Fordham(5-2)....need to run the table to win conference. Bucknell(3-4)....need to run table to win conference. have Lehigh and Fordham on the schedule. Georgetown(3-4)....need to run the table and need Bucknell to run the table and the winner of Lehigh and Fordham to lose an additional game. Pioneer 1 bid conference San Diego(6-1)... Marist(4-3)... Dayton(6-2)... Jacksonville(3-3)... Stetson(4-3).... Drake(3-4).... Campbell(3-3)... San Diego, Marist, and Dayton should control who wins this unless they fall apart and open the door for the rest. Southern 2 maybe 3 playoff spots. The Citadel(7-0)...a win against Samford should wrap up the conference...should finish 10-1(loss to FBS North Carolina to finish season) Chattanooga(7-1)...should finish 9-2(finish with Alabama)...if Samford can knock off The Citadel you could have a 3 way tie and a possible 3rd playoff team. Samford(6-1)...should lose to Mississippi St. this weekend and then have a chance at conference title the following weekend against The Citadel. could finish 9-2 or 8-3. Are they in at 8-3? Mercer(4-3)...need to run table and get help....not even sure if they are playoff eligible yet? Wofford(4-3)....if they run table and get to 8-3 with a win over Chattanooga to do it, are they in? Southland probably 2 playoff spots, outside shot at a 3rd. SHSU(7-0)....should be 10-0 going into season finale against Central Arkansas...possible #1 seed and home playoffs throughout. Central Arkansas(6-1)....unbeaten in conference and are fairly secure for a playoff spot as long as they win 3 of 4. SE Louisiana(4-3)....cold make things interesting if they run the table including a win over C. Arkansas this weekend. would 8-3 get them in or would they need C. Arkansas to beat SHSU to create a 3 way conference tie? My Prediction on how it shakes out. Big Sky(4)--UND, EWU, Cal Poly, and Montana Big South(2)--Charleston Southern and Liberty CAA(4)--JMU, Stony Brook, Richmond, and Villanova MVFC(4)--SDSU, NDSU, Youngstown State, and UNI NEC(1)--Sacred Heart, Wagner or St. Francis OVC(1)---Jacksonville St. Patriot(1)--Lehigh or Fordham Pioneer(1)--San Diego or Marist Southern(2)--The Citadel and Chattanooga Southland(2)--SHSU and Central Arkansas That is 22 spots. Others in contention UNH USD and/or Western Illinois Samford Weber State SE Louisiana Kennesaw State UNH Sacred Heart Tennessee State
