wheelsup Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Ndsu had a case for the #2.. but it was an absolute gift.. there was little to no separation between NDSU, SDSU and USD.. purely based on their head to head and recency I would give it to USD. All three head to head games were super close and the strength of schedules were also very comparable.. I just happen to believe beating NDSU and losing to SDSU in overtime is better than either of the other twos case.. they both got extra credit for more name recognition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a conspiracy They literally lost their last game of the year to a team that has a very similar record and a good argument for a higher seed.. I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy.. I’m saying that only in bisonville does this make sense.. if this game was 5 weeks ago I would get it.. but it was yesterday.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply calling out your flawed logic. I would go #2 SDSU they are the AQ. All schools agreed on this approach prior to the season. Seems simple to me. After that you compare NDSU and USD. Yesterday answered that and you said Head to Head matters. So, I would put USD #3. And NDSU #4, they knew the AQ rules at the start of the season. And they had everything in front of them and they literally !@#$ the bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but where does recency of loss come into play in the criteria? the three teams were basically tied. The strength of schedule is what separated them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Responded to a few different posts. Sorry ill address your post directly. As I’ve said, I think you could have put them in any order 2-4 and an argument could be made. Strength of schedule ndsu is the clear winner, so I have to imagine that was the conversation behind closed doors. I’m not arguing that it’s obvious that ndsu is head and shoulders above the other two. I’m saying that with the way the season played out, the margin between those three teams is minuscule and it appears SoS is what separated them. This makes the most sense to me.

I did hear during the Bison/USD game that Larson is not allowed (not sure how) to be a factor in the decision if his school is involved. Not sure how they accomplish this and I would guess its smoke in mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I can go back and fourth finding stats. What I am saying is that agreements matter, your word matters. So, the agreement that NDSU/SDSU/USD and all of the MVFC had on how to decide this exact scenario should be followed through to it logical conclusion. SDSU is the AQ. If a seed comes down to three conference schools for that seed. It should go to the AQ. SDSU has every right to be upset and should be calling out the conference commionsioner.... Let's see, what has Larson done since he has been conference rep... allowed the breaking of rules on hosting home games (impacting a conference rival UND) which has lead to a complete reworking of the playoffs system. Now, completely ignoring a conference AQ. (once again impacting a conference rival SDSU) At this point, it really calls into question how is he representing the best interests of the MVFC? It is clear he has no integrity. And at this point IMO, the school President needs to start asking questions. As all NDSU fans say, athletics is the front proch of the school. What message is he sending on behalf of the school? Agreements don't matter. Really?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnboyND7 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 6 minutes ago, Bison06 said: You make good points. Did their agreement extend to seeding? I honestly don’t know. Not sure the MVFC can order the committee to seed the AQ higher than others. That would fall outside the conference's jurisdiction. NDSU had an additional D1 win, and people seem to be ignoring that they have an additional "good" win over Illinois State that neither USD or SDSU have. I doubt the NCAA is particularly concerned with helping anyone get to Frisco. Any combination of the top 4 seeds making it to the championship will bring plenty of fans.

I doubt the NCAA is particularly concerned with helping anyone get to Frisco. Any combination of the top 4 seeds making it to the championship will bring plenty of fans. You are correct MVFC commissioner can not call the NCAA and say this is our team. But, the conference representative can say the following in the meetings. We as a conference have decided this is the best approach for handling this situation. Think about it, why would you want other conferences gaming the system for themselves. In this example, you have 4 clear cut teams for the top 4 seeds - 1 of them is the number 1 and the 3 others are from the same conference. You now allowing the conference of the number 1 seed to decide it's path to Frisco. Is this in the best interest of the MVFC? I would say no. And looking at the brackets, the Big Sky got exactly what they wanted. A home game against USD to get to Frisco. And is the team facing them in Frisco going to give the MVFC it's best chance to win?
