A bison loss makes for a good day

Think of the possibilities for joy if we had come through as well.  At some point, there has to something more than your biggest rival losing to make a good day.

So Yotes can get to 6 wins pretty easily.

Just win one between YSU, SDSU, UND, and SIU and they are playoff bound.

Oh, 3 of those 4 games are at home.

Getting in with 6 wins has happened, but rare, gotta believe that 7 wins is the new bar going forward as the Selection Committee is put under the increased scrutiny for their decisions. MVFC deserves five spots but politics says if SDSU, NDSU and SIL are the top 3 then UND, YSU, UNI and USD are fighting for the same playoff spot.

Can't remember for sure what USD was picked preseason in the MVFC...but if the 8th team in the Big Sky beat the #2 in Big Sky they'd all be tripping over themselves to say how deep the Big Sky is. Actually looks like USD was picked #9 in preseason poll.

What’s the advantage of YSU beating up SIU?

SIU was undefeated and rated ahead of UND and we don't play them this year. We need them to have a few losses if we want to jump them in the polls and in the seedings/MVFC rankings.

YSU has an FBS loss and a close loss to UNI. They will probably lose to SDSU which would give them at least 3 losses. SIU had an FBS win and was 4-0. YSU could end up with only 3 losses also though, and we don't play them either...... we'll see how it shakes out.

NAU beats Weber St.  That win keeps paying dividends. 

Yep. Wish we wouldn't have given up those two garbage TD's against them. We had a 27 point lead on them with 7 minutes left in the game. Either way still a good looking win for us and for the MVFC vs Big Sky.

Patty V on the FCS playoff selection committee process last year: "It sucked"

Interesting to hear her openly talk about the commissioners going as far to right a paper outlining expectations, meeting with the selection committee and expanding on their expectations. One of the big things is that strength of schedule will be focused on more and they will at least acknowledge Massey and Sagarin. All good things for the MVFC.
