geaux_sioux Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Seriously, I hope they spoil the party. Quote
UNDColorado Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I also hope UNI dismantles EIU. 1 Quote
UND1983 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Dayton sucks. And EIU will get killed. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 Dayton sucks. And EIU will get killed.Thats the point. If the somehow pull this huge upset it would be a massive black eye on the committee. Quote
bang Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I don't know. The black eye on the committee is already there and there knockout punch on UND landed Sunday. I'll just enjoy the playoffs, it will finally be fun watching these teams and comparing them to UND and how'd they match up. In the past if you did that it would be cringeworthy. Quote
Sioux94 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Dayton sucks. And EIU will get killed.How a 6-5 bubble team lands Dayton in the first round is ridiculous. They covered their butts well by giving WIU an easy match up and a likely win, to justify their selection of WIU. Quote
Sioux94 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 However, that said I'll definitely be rooting for Dayton!! Quote

Wildfan Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 They got Dayton because it is a bus trip. Regionalized like everything else.Regionalization needs to be thrown out. Does it seem to make a difference much in attendance? I know the reasoning is money by busing teams; but it can screw teams over. I rather see a true playoff, best of 1st round vs worst as determined by rankings, etc. I know it is hard with everyone playing different schedules, but still. I'm not a fan of the MVFC but to lump them all on one part of the bracket, similar to what happened to WCHA in hockey plenty of times. Quote
CMSioux Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Something new this year - my two favorite teams are Dayton and anyone playing NDSU. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Something new this year - my two favorite teams are Dayton and anyone playing NDSU. I'm on the PSU bandwagon. The more they win the dumber the committee looks. Go BarneyBall 2 Quote
UNDColorado Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I hope Montana destroys SDSU. They are a different team with Gustafson. Dayton somehow pulls off the upset over WIU.EIU needs to get destroyed.SUU plays a Sam Houston team who got in by reputation (they beat nobody, but seems they have some great quality losses)PSU- Go Barney Ball!

jdub27 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 The only problem with Dayton winning is it may give the Pioneer League some credibility. The league consistently has 9-10 win teams that don't make it in to the playoffs because of their schedules. That being said, I hope that they beat WIU and then get absolutely waxed by Illinois State.Other than that, need to cheer on the Big Sky to rack up a couple W's. Quote

For years the MVFC only got a couple teams into the tournament and they than raised a fuss about how they were the "best conference" and should get more teams. I believe that is a big reason WIU got in this year and they put 5 teams in last year. The Big Sky needs a couple teams to make a run to prove the quality of football being played. Having some teams go deep into the playoffs or all the way will be a way to petition to get more teams in next season. 4 Quote

They didn't raise a fuss, they raised the level of play on the field.I'm not sure if I read it here or somewhere else, but someone pointed out a downside of regionalization for other conferences is it eliminates opportunities to beat MVFC teams. I agree with that 1 Quote

JohnboyND7 Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 a couple teams raised the level of play. Not the entire conference. The conference as a whole I think got better. MVFC nonconference record has been pretty good the past couple years. Quote
Longtime fan Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Dayton looking decent so far. Big bad wiu is looking very pioneer league like. A lot of game left Quote
Nodak78 Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Damn what a bad throw. their freshman RB is nothing like our freshman RB. I can see why Drake beat these guys. Quote
