Pretty sure all the other 7-4 teams will have similar resumes, UND just won't have any supporters in the decision room.

Actually we could get support from both the Big Sky and the MVFC verses them supporting some far away team. 

Our loses:

FBS              loss

Idaho St      25-21     4 points

Weber St    35-30      5 points

Idaho          31-27      4 points

If Indiana state wins to get to 7-4 with a d2 win, they will absolutely be in ahead of UND. Decent chance 1 6-5 mvfc team gets in ahead of a 7-4 UND as well.

There is a legit chance the MVFC finishes next week with only 3 teams above .500 and one of them being there with a win over a 4-7 DII school.  The conference didn’t have its usual OOC dominance this year.  I just don’t see a 6-5 team from that conference getting in.

I'm not saying what should happen. I'm saying what will happen. Perception is still that mvfc is best because they have the one best team.

Not sure which results are better for UND in these games.

Montana St @ Montana

Weber State @ Idaho St.

Will the committee "group" UND with the Big Sky teams?

If Montana St and Idaho St both win that puts the Big Sky at 5 playoff teams in which case we are screwed if they are grouping us with them. Best case would be Weber and Montana winning which would(should) make us #4 from the Big Sky group. This scenario should also kill any UNI at 6-5 narrative.

Neither ISUb or ISUo can get to seven DI wins.  Can anyone clarify if it’s a rule you have to have 7 DI wins or is it an “unwritten” rule.

Not a written rule. In 2016, Illinois State got in at 6-5.

Selection committee uses a "Simple Rating System" as one of the tools for evaluating teams.

Which one component is margin of victory.

Tough to beat the Pairwise (RPI in it and also as tie breaker) that the NCAA Div I hockey uses, no favoritism - no human judgement once the formula is in place for the season. Would have to be tweaked for FB.

Minnesota got schooled last year with that misfire of a .0001 RPI. Giving Duluth an at bat and then hitting the Grand Slam! Human judgement / error could of put the Goofs in.

what have you seen recently that makes you want to watch this team play again?  this is bad bad bad quality football....some of the ugliest i've seen. ever. 

 

+++i see this NAU game almost like the usd game when we came back in the fourth and won the GREAT WEST CONFERENCE title... had we lost muss would've been gone about four years earlier.  

lose and bubba is gone and we can go to the hastage #decadebydecade or we win and who knows?

This.

It likely will come down to these two games (if UND wins):

If Montana St wins they are 7-4 and likely beat out UND for a playoff spot. Montana wins they are 7-4 and loses the "unofficial tie breaker" to UND.

Idaho State* beats Weber State and they finish at 7-4 and also have the "unofficial tie breaker" over UND.

 (*The win vs Weber would probably trump playing a d2 team for Idaho State...or they'll use that excuse to selection another MVFC team).
