Correct. If we don't find our way into the top 8 we will essentially be #17

Current inter conference win percentages(adjusted) Big 10 .596 ECAC .438 H.E. .569 WCHA .270 NCHC .620

The interconference records are what they are but to compare which conference is better you really need to discount the results against AHA to get an accurate picture. That said, it looks like the Big 10 could move from their 4th place spot last year and 5th place spot from 2 years ago into a solid 2nd.

Oregon's coach is under contract until 2020....not that it means anything when you have Nike money

Not sure UND can beat either of them but matchup wise I would rather play NDSU than SDSU and I would rather play either of them than EWU.....not saying one is better than the other and all 3 are tough but UND's best matchup on defense anyway is with NDSU.

crap

damnit. get him out of there

would have preferred it to be a coaches choice and not an injury.

Studsrud is giving his all but it ain't working today. We can't do a straight drop back pass because the line can't protect him and when he rolls out they are just daring him to run. They are just flooding the zone when he rolls out and not even sending anyone at him.....if he was healthy and playing against this ttype of defensive philosophy he would probably have 150+ rushing yards himself today...but he isn't.....need to put Bartles in to keep them honest, even if he just picks up 5-6 yards at a time and slides it is better than throwing to 2 or 3 receivers covered by 5-6 guys all day.

Isn't Cornell supposed to be one of the upper echelon schools in this country. It is scary how uneducated and misinformed these sheep are. if I was a parent paying tuition to this prestigious school I would have some serious questions about my investment.

For the first year yes. They changed the criteria the following year.

it is a catch 22 for NC A&T and the MEAC....if NC A&T loses they probably make the playoffs but if NC Central loses they are probably out.

I just used a general consensus of the current polls....just showing how some teams are punished and others are rewarded not based on their teams success but their location.

A non-regionalized bracket. 1. NDSU plays winner of #16 Montana and #17 Western Illinois 8. Richmond plays winner of #9 Villanova and #24 San Diego 4. Jacksonville State plays winner of #13 Charleston Southern and #20 Lehigh 5. The Citadel plays winner of #12 Central Arkansas and #21 Liberty 2. Eastern Washington plats winner of #15 Youngstown State and #18 New Hampshire 7. Chattanooga plays winner of #10 South Dakota State and #23 St. Francis 3. Sam Houston State plays winner of #14 Cal Poly and #19 Samford 6. James Madison plays winner of #11 UND and #22 Wofford *if NC A&T loses to North Carolina Central, then they move into the field at around #13 and teams 13-21 slide down a spot and Wofford is watching. No Bowls which has it probably more in line with what will actually happen essentially has the teams slotted this way 1.EWU 2. NDSU 3. Jax St. 4. SHSU 5. JMU 6. Citadel 7. Chattanooga 8. C. Ark 9. Lehigh 10. Liberty 11. Charleston southern 12. Richmond 13. Cal Poly 14. YSU 15. SDSU 16. Montana 17. San diego 18. UND 19. Villanova 20. Western Ill. 21. St. Francis 22. Samford 23. Wofford 24. New hampshire

But even this bracket slots UND as #16 and San Diego as #17

So does anyone know who this mouth breathing turd is?

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.
