9-3 not good enough for playoffs?
HappyPenguin:
It wont matter how bad the other conferences are. They'll still get wins beating up one each other. Multiple teams from those conferences will get the nod into the playoffs and exit quickly.
Happens every year. This just looks like the year where everyone is up in arms with how many the CAA or Big Sky gets. Last year was the OVC.
Then we'll have this same discussion next year about how the MVFC is the best conference (it is) , how our conference gets jobbed every year by the committee (it does), how the NCAA has been blasted by the media for selecting too many teams from a bad conference in the offseason (like they care one bit what the media thinks).
The day after the field is selected you can start posting replies in the threads about:
Fire Wolford\his contract >:(
Will Tressel coach? fb
Will we join the MAC \ budget ::)
The MVFC got screwed again :o
We have the worst commissioner in FCS :(
Then when recruiting starts we do this all over again.

I agree. We will not be able to win 9 games without a passing game. Last year, we had both passing and running game and we still could not beat the MVC top teams. As shown in the Illinois game, we cannot catch up with the running game when we felt behind. Am I to believe that we would always be ahead so we could run out the clock with our running game against those top teams?
It would be difficult to run the 2 minute offense to catch up when Wolf burned all 3 timeouts in the 3rd quarter.

Yeah, I believe 9-3 is a little out of the reach. Will be interesting....

If SDSU's QB is still out when we play them, then 9-3 becomes more plausible.

The MVFC is an FCS conference unlike any other. It would be more appropriately placed as an FBS conference. The selection committee deeming it a two bid league is outrageous.
Massey's top 10 has 5 MVFC teams (All 5 MVFC teams are above the top CAA team).

In terms of conference strength, Massey ranks the MVFC over the MAC, the Sun Belt, and way above the CAA.

I like playing the big dogs, but since there is undeniable bias against the MVFC, we are prevented from playing big dogs in the post-season.
I do think YSU can go 9-3. An MVFC team going 9-3 and not making a 24 field post-season? Than YSU must leave the MVFC. That being said, having three so called "weanie" games is terrible. 1-2 at most. The selection committee is not impressed by weenie game wins. Replace one with an away game at Akron or Kent, collect another check, and have fun tearing them up.
