Kab Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 The lack of a 12th game will bite us, it shouldn’t but will be an excuse for the committee herder has been against us all year for some reason how does their vote affect the committee vote ? Quote

With the next 16 tourney teams, as long as your team makes the first round of playoffs, does it really matter at what ranking you are - the bidding takes care of home games? If the Committee is objective about Resume and UND wins out. Then UND should be one of the 16. But polls give credit to some teams i.e Wofford. Now if the beat Furman and the other team can't remember both of those would be wins with above .500 Different story. But show me first. Quote

Herder is a bison. Their vote isn't supposed to affect the committee vote, but the committee is human. They are affected by public perception the same as anyone else, and public perception is formed by people like Herder and McLaughlin. Craig Haley is probably the most respected though. Quote

I do have hope with committee. Montana and Nichols are both in the committee. Both have reason to support UND since UND beat SHSU and MSU, UCD. All three of those could be in the discussions for playoffs yet. We can't have 3 SOCon teams Furman, Wofford and can't remember and too lazy to look up. Quote

I will say this, if you have a problem with the STATS poll, Herder and McLaughlin are not the guys your anger should be directed towards. I'm sure they do more research than 95% of the other voters.

Kab Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Haley has SHSU at 16 with 6 and 4 record but the one win is over an ?NAIA school so there record is the same as ours and we beat them Quote

How many coaches have an in depth knowledge of the details of Central Connecticut State. Quote
Nodak78 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Coaches poll is a joke but the committee relies on this poll more than others. scary. We win out others will lose for sure but it is a battle to get respect. Quote

We lost by 3 to the #3 team in country, on the road! It’s hard for a game to be any closer than that. Aren’t lower ranked teams supposed to lose away games to higher ranked teams? I don’t understand how anyone can argue that Saturday’s performance makes them think that we’re worse than they thought we were. It seems like these pollsters try to do too much projecting of how the playoff committee will vote, rather than actually rate teams by strength. Quote

Considering we were 16.5 - 20 point dogs, people voting and looking at this on paper should not have lowered our position. Those who actually watched the game should consider raising us a spot or 2. 2 Quote

geaux_sioux Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 #20 in the AGS poll which I feel is the best poll at predicting the field. Their track record is actually impressive. https://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?239624-AGS-Poll-Results-WEEK-11-2019-SEASON 1 Quote

Hambone Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 UND also essentially 26 in the stats poll. http://www.fcs.football/cfb/story.asp?i=20191111130250533179504&ref=rec&tm=&src=FCS Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 To be fair if UND goes 7-4 the game on the schedule that will decide if they are in or out of the playoffs will be the beatdown loss to a 3-9 ISU team. All other game outcomes will be secondary. 1 Quote

If UND is 7-4 and on the outside looking in, that will be it. Quote

The SHSU win is starting to look a bit better now. Two losses to top 5 teams and Eastern loss not looking that bad anymore. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 ISU put up one 5 vs EWU Saturday...............not two. Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted November 11, 2019 Author Posted November 11, 2019 We should move up a little each of the next two weeks with winning out, along with certain teams just above us loosing to help with the move up. We loose one of these next two games - don't even want to go there. Quote
