geaux_sioux Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 New Hampshire, Elon, and Stony need to help us out with wins. Nichols already helped us. We also need to help ourselves and make a statement. Can’t have another tight game against a bad team. 1 Quote

Before the game SE Louisiana 7-3 and Nichols 7-4 and outside of bubble, after game Nichols goes 8-4 and get AQ and SELA 7-4 w/ a #22 ranking in the coaches poll which is one of the "tools" committee uses for at large, just adds another team to bubble. I figured a Nichols loss is what was needed. Quote

I figured a Nichols loss is what was needed. If consistency holds true, a loss to an unranked team at home should completely slide them out of any rankings. Look what a 3 point road loss to the #3 ranked team in the country did to UND. Quote

We are fighting against SELA now, not Nicholls. I think we would have been better off If SELA would have won the AQ. Instead of bouncing around on the bubble with what would have been a 7-5 Nicholls, who was shut out by Sam Houston, and is 16 spots below us in Massey, we will possibly be measured against 7-4 SELA, who's resume is more comparable to UND's. SELA shut out Central Arkansas. That is a comparable win to Montana St, IMO. Southland probably doesn't deserve to get 3 teams in, but we've seen how this can play out in the past. Quote

Now the Southland has 3 viable teams where a Nichols loss would have eliminated them and just left SELA and C. Arkansas. Quote

We do match up resume wise with Nichols but they are not on the bubble anymore, they have the auto bid. Quote

The way I see it...UND and SELA have each won once against a solidly "in the field" playoff team: UND over Montana State SELA over Central Arkansas Neither team has a common opponent...I'd say that UND has the better wins, but also definitely has the worst loss...and SELA has an FBS loss that was competitive. The UND Football 360 guys called me "Mr. Negative" last night after the SELA loss...but when I try to look at this objectively...I don't feel very good about our odds if it comes down to these two teams for one spot. That doesn't mean we don't get in...but I don't think we get in over SELA...but who knows when it comes to a committee! Also...this is all moot if UND lays an egg tomorrow. I don't know about you guys...but I was in Flagstaff last year...and the bad taste from that game is still there for me. I take NOTHING for granted with this team... Quote

I think our Weber game helps us as well. They haven’t played any teams even close to NDSU and WSU, two of our losses. Quote

They lost to Ole Miss by 11...now if you put NDSU and Ole Miss on the same field I think we all know how that would go...but I'm sure the committee will look at that and give them more credit for it than we'll get for our NDSU effort...

Tough to know the weight a committee will place on a sleepwalking SEC team. Quote
Longtime fan Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Three teams will keep und out of playoffs . Idaho st , Unc and poly. S Utah could possibly be team 4. A team that is in playoff consideration should NEVER go toe to toe with three 2- 8 (6-25 D1) ball clubs. In those three games und was outscored 95-119. Lost by 35 won by 4 won by 7. Opponents won the first down battle. Und was out gained yardage wise 434- 492 average/ game. The opposing three teams were penalized more.... 205 yards to unds 173. Und goes 2-1 vs those 3 while losing nearly every significant statistic. Und has won 6 games by the point difference of 40, 4, 2, 4, 4 and 7 to a combined team record of 27-36. Und is a handful of plays away from being a 2-8 team Und sits with two solid games....Montana st (W) and Weber (L). 3 bad performances vs 2 nice performances What will the committee see? Quote

The hole in your logic is most of the teams UND is competing with for a bid did not play teams as good as ISU, INC and SUU. If UND wins they are in. Quote
