  1. That's a little blind. They played very well on offense in the first but just couldn't bury them. The flood was coming.

     

    They were playing well offensively for the most part but not buzzing like they were to finish the 2nd. The final 7 or 8 minutes of the second was about as good of offensive hockey as I have seen this year from UND. It wasn't a skill thing, it was effort. They were hustling to every puck, winning every battle, and just grinding LSSU down. 

  2. The problem this season is that the team looks good in the first half and looks terrible in the second. The second half is about coaching adjustments. I haven't seen much to indicate Jones can do that so far this season.

  3. Considering the support (or lack thereof) the defense got from the offense throughout the season, those stats are incredibly. The defense was really, really good and it's a crime that more players weren't given the recognition they deserved. 

  4. Sounded like a pretty solid game from the Sioux tonight although the final score was probably closer than it should have been. The all freshman line seemed to play pretty well and I really like the size, skill, and physicality of Olson and Poganski on the same line and Simonson seems like a solid fit in the middle of that line.

     

    Imagine four years down the road if this line stays together and keeps developing. 

  5. Ummmmm..........let me see.....because at the time they beat #8LSU, #6 A&M, and #2 Auburn and should have beat #5 Alabama if they would have controlled the clock better. 

     

    So they are ranked high because they beat other teams that were ranked, but no longer are (other than Auburn) because those teams have lost multiple times. Why were those teams ranked high at the time the game was played? A&M has completely collapsed, LSU is no powerhouse. Auburn is good and they are a quality win but other top 10 teams also have quality wins. Look at TCU, their only lose is to #7 Baylor. Why should TCU be ranked lower than Miss St? TCU has wins against 3 top 25 teams (as of the latest ranking), and a loss to a top 10 team. SEC bias, that's why. 

  6. I watched the entire game.  I saw who the better team was. 

     

    So you saw Wisconsin lose their top two noseguards and suddenly start bleeding profusely in the running game. 

  7. Wisconsin was dominating LSU until they lost their top RB (who happens to be one of the best in the country). LSU then mounts a comeback as the Wisconsin offense stalls. Of course that translates to LSU being so much better and able to dominate the rest of the Big 10 and any other conference (just inferring the typical SEC fan response). 

  8. National Championships are a joke in FBS football. The teams that play in the game are based on ranking. SEC teams drop the least when losing to in-conference opponents. The teams then wait over a month to play. Of course that means whoever wins that game must belong to the best conference ever. 

  9. Mississippi St. currently ranked 4th. What exactly about their schedule makes them a top 4 team over the likes of TCU, Baylor, or Ohio State? Their out-of-conference schedule is a joke and looking at their schedule they have two teams in the current top 25 they've played. Beat one, lost to another. 

     

    Why are they ranked 4th? 

  10. I'm only a hater because they are given an inordinate amount of attention. That inordinate amount of attention is a result of a major contract between the SEC and ESPN. 

     

    Year in and year out Notre Dame seems to get ranked pretty highly midway through the season, then they tank and so does their ranking. Why do they get ranked high to begin with? Media exposure. Same thing, just on a conference level with the SEC. 

  11. What are the signature OOC wins for the SEC this year? The media (ESPN) just tells us that the SEC is the end-all be-all of college football and everyone goes along with it. 

  12. SEC is the gauntlet.  but I agree with everything else you noted.  big12 and pac 12 haven't  gotten the respect they deserve, except for the selection committee I guess.

     

    What exactly makes SEC the gauntlet though? They schedule a few decent OOC games a year and then feast on lower level D1 or FCS teams to pad the OOC schedule. Then they routinely get ranked high up in the top 25.

     

    Of course all of this nonsense could be solved with a real 16 team playoff. Then the cream would rise to the top. A four team playoff is a start but still a joke as it's subject to the whims of pollsters. 

  13. SEC has a contract with ESPN, and so the SEC is given the majority of media attention due to the fact that ESPN is the biggest and one of the only major media sources for sports. Therefore the SEC will always be given the benefit of the doubt. 

     

    Big 12 schools beat up on each other, they are an inferior conference. 

    Pac 12 beats up on each other, also inferior.

    Big 10 hasn't done much in recent years

    ACC one horse conference

    SEC beats up on each other, omg such tough schedule, they are just so good, oooohhhh.
