Nodak78 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 UND moves up to #16. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/fcs-rankings-top-25-power-poll-following-week-9-2022 Quote
Nodak78 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Sam Herder places UND #24. Mentions UND 5th strength of schedule. But places 7 or 8 teams ahead of UND with weak schedules. We need to take care of business. https://herosports.com/fcs-top-25-sam-herder-ballot-10-31-2022-bzbz/ Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 FCS STATS poll is the go to. UND #23 before they beat ACU. UND should remain in top 24 if they beat ISU and USD and make playoffs at 7-4. Beat NDSU and UND definitely is in. If this team goes 7-4 and misses playoffs, then there are major flaws in the FCS system, mainly biased influences from NDSU/juice U. Sam Herder being one of them. The 2015 playoff snub still hurts - that came down to quality losses propagated by Wonderful Bob Nielson (another reason to beat USD on 11/12/22) and UND’s pathetic loss to Idaho State in Alerus Center (Idaho State AD was on selection committee that year). 2 Quote
Nodak78 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 We missed the coaches poll again but St. Thomas is in at 25. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I don't put too much stock into the polls. Playoff committe has been known to be much different than the polls show. Good and bad. If we are 7-4, we shoud be in. Of course, going 8-3 would leave no doubt!! 2 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 UND to #21 in STATS poll. UND will be at least the 3rd highest ranked team in the MVFC if they keep winning. Playoff bound, should be the goal. Oh, and beat Ag U while we’re at it. https://fightinghawks.com/news/2022/10/31/football-north-dakota-moves-up-to-no-21-in-stats-perform-poll.aspx Quote

Does anyone know how often this changes or the process for selecting the MVFC rep? Does it just rotate through all of the different AD's? Quote

I was wondering if anyone knows how the MVFC goes about selecting our rep.. does it rotate amongst AD's.. is there some type of election process or the term? Just curious how it works. I did a quick google search and couldnt figure it out. Quote

Can't recall a time where I or any of my buddies got shafted. People in those meetings generally wanna do a good job. Frankly, I can't imagine a better advocate for UND than the NDSU guy who is gonna wanna advocate for the strength of the conference. All that said, he can't be in the room when NDSU is being seeded, IIRC. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Criteria for picking fcs playoff teams - coaches poll is mentioned?? For information on selecting, seeding, and bracketing teams, the committee may consider comparative data of individual teams, including but not limited to: Overall record Record against Division I opponents (an institution with fewer than six Division I wins may place that team in jeopardy of not being selected) Record against opponents from other AQ conferences Record against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents Head-to-head record Record against common opponents NCAA Simple Rating System (NCAA SRS) Data FCS Coaches Poll Quote

Nodak78 Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 16 or 17 would surprise. A few teams above us lost. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Indiana State had played many teams tough until sdsu and UND this was an impressive win for us https://valley-football.org/schedule.aspx?schedule=739 Quote
