YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
Why they would choose us for the playoffs
BushwoodCC:
Adding to last post, Mercer out of the SOCON just lost in 2OT at Samford. They would likely have been in with a win, but with the loss they are now stuck at 7 wins in a weaker conference.

But, SIU has beaten Northwestern out of the big 10. That must count for some strength.

NW is one of if not the worst team in FBS.

1. Villanova blocked a punt with under 2 minutes left and shocked Delaware 29-26. Delaware would have had 8 wins had they won, they are stuck at 7.
2. Montana is getting absolutely slaughtered against their arch rival Montana State right now. The Bobcats are up 48-14 in the 4th quarter. Remember the year YSU beat Pitt and started 4-0, then proceeded to lose 4 in a row, before finishing with 3 wins and ending the campaign with 7 wins... did we make it in? No. Well Montana started 5-0 and is on the verge of ending this season going 2-4 down the stretch.
3. Western Carolina just beat a 7 win Chattanooga after scoring a TD on 4th and goal at the 1 with under a minute left. Chattanooga lost 3 of their 4 final four games.
4. YSU did with 5 of their last 6 games to get to this point... call them weak or not.. but this is the VALLEY.

Excellent points. Unfortunately, this is the year that the jealous athletic directors on the committee from weak conferences take their revenge against the MVFC.

You would put NW (has beaten Nebraska) below the Zippy?
YsuPride:
Both are at the bottom of the FBS Northwestern and Akron. Akron is very weak.
