So by the same logic, BYU has now positioned itself to be ranked ahead of Wisconsin this week?

If BYU had been a P5 team, they sure the hell would have leapfrogged Wisconsin.

I don’t care as long as Faison never steps foot in GF again.

I think I’ve figured out why the polls don’t make any sense;

The pollsters all rely on the Grand Forks Herald for scores and game write ups.  So they have no idea what happened on the weekend when they fill out their ballots on Monday. 

That is hilarious.

What one does read from Tuesday through Sunday is usually two day old stuff, and the obits run for 2 or 3 days.

Since Sunday paper had no mention of Sam Houston Sate U FB team losing, be interesting if they mention the Bearkats in tomorrows paper?

 

Maybe they'll have a color picture of them?

 

 

 

December 15, 2017 the Bearkats were south of GF. 

Just like the MVSU Delta Devils were south of GF earlier that same year.

Yep, advocating for the team is what's important here.

I'll have to give the Herald a break. Todays Sports Front Page, everything above the crease goes to the HAWKS!

Heres an FCS composite computer ranking that takes emotion out of the equation.  Think it gives much better results (UNI and Montana are rated much lower) and UND is #15.

If a name a P5 team was undefeated, all of the sudden it would be receiving major votes after a big win.  Texas has more votes than North Texas, even though Texas has lost to pathetic Maryland and North Texas is undefeated and annihilated Arkansas. 

BYU was not undefeated.  Okla St got a major ranking increase after beating Boise St.  Boise is almost the only G5 school that gets recognition by sportswriters, even in a loss.

Agreed, nice to have an AD that actually takes notice of some of these things and say something. Weird that an AD is actually interested in sports.

We dropped out, with 5 teams with more points than us under The Top 25.

Idaho State a few points behind us. So does that tells us the pollsters think we will win next week?

Still on the outside looking in. Opportunity awaits, though.  Idaho State increased their votes received.

Need to step up when the moment counts.

UNI at #22.  With a loss against SU they will only move up a few spots and secure a play-off spot.

Interesting that Idaho St. is behind us........

It looks to me that 7-4 will not get us in the top #24. 

Montana game is pretty much the season!!  Personally, I always liked a revenge game!!

Cal-Poly is out for sure but what seed did they have Joe Protheroe at? 

Hopefully not the same bracket as Chuck Norris.

Would be an EPIC national championship game.

Tournament of Legends-

Rick Flair is the 1 seed, Ditka 2, Protheroe is the 3 seed, Chuck Norris is the 4 seed.

So Flair vrs Norris

Ditka vrs Protheroe

Hero Sports Computer Rankings

Eastern Washington climbs to #2

Idaho State darts up to #4

UC Davis in at #14

North Dakota checks in at #16

Weber St falls to # 18

Sam Houston at #22

Griz fall to #27

Always interesting to see different polls and UND in them, but I'm kind of confused how Missouri St would jump 34 spots to #9 with a loss to South Dakota and Elon drops 5 spots after beating JMU.

If Idaho State keeps up their impressive season, Sam Houston State continues to get back on track, and most importantly UND wins out with the only "tough" games being at home in the Alerus, then things will shape out nicely for a home playoff game in the Alerus Center.

I like this newly found optimism you've found
