It would be nice to run the table, but if we go 5-1 the rest of the way we'll still be in the playoffs. Many teams have clunkers during the year so I won't be surprised if we drop a game somewhere. We do need to beat both Weber and Montana though. The NAU game is the game on the schedule that has worried me the most since the start of the season, just because it's a game we should win but NAU always seems to be so up and down. Let's start this weekend and beat Montana and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 With that said, UNDs only FCS loss is to a higher ranked team than Weber States only FCS loss.... UNDs best win this season is also ranked higher than Weber States best win....and they both have 3-2 overall records. Both played Northern Colorado a week apart. UND won at UNC by 25. Weber won at home by 17. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDs best win this season is also ranked higher than Weber States best win....and they both have 3-2 over all records. Perception of your program and history obviously is still playing a factor in the polls even after 5 weeks in. We must take care of business this weekend. I'll take even a 1 point win...because a win is a win......but I'd really like to beat Montana 35-17 or something like that. Idaho St. is not even ranked and they just have 1 loss which is an FBS loss. They play at UC Davis next week, that should be interesting and will likely be a shootout. If Idaho State beats UC Davis, will be curious to see what will happen in the polls....they will definitely be in...but how high. Pollsters might just say.....ahhh UC Davis was over-rated and it's not that big of a win. The whole MVFC teams beat each other up because they are all so good, but if a Big Sky team beats another one....it's because none of them are good.

Which is why I confused the "I" States in the poll. I would have surely thought Idaho State would be ranked and above Weber State at that.

Sioux>Bison Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 These polls are garbage. They need to go to an rpi system for playoff selection with autobid. No reason to have a subjective selection process. The biggest joke was UNI being one spot away from being ranked. That’s how you know this is a joke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The FCS polls use another system beyond voting that isn’t public. A team gets points for how many wins they have had in the playoffs for the past twenty years and deducts points for every year missed for twenty years, but the points deducted do not apply for Montana and UNI. In fact, Montana and UNI got bonus points for playing each other. UCDavis, Idaho St, Weber St, UND and Montana St should all have more votes than Montana who had a bad loss to PSU by any logical voter, but their isn’t any in FCS.

LOL to this poll. Idaho St. is in first place in the Big Sky Conference, and they are in the "Others Receiving Votes" category. I used to think the STATS poll meant something. Not so much anymore.......................... Having said that, they've also got North Dakota in the Playoff Field this week.................................

A win on Saturday will put us back in the respectable column in a lot of polls. We've had way too many ups and downs the last 2 seasons but that should all change on Saturday.

AJS Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I wish there was a week that everyone would agree on that he pollsters would take a deep dive into their rankings. Let's say Week 6, toss out the rankings before and truly look into them (as if they were the playoff committee) and really reset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
