How good is the MVFC

<< < (3/22) > >>

OleYSUfan:
We will find the competition in the MVFC will significantly increase over our 1st four games. In the 4 games played so far; we had 134 passes thrown by opposing QB's and only 1 interception which was then fumbled. These QB's were not All Americans.

We may win 4 or 5 games of our 8 conference games, but all of these games will be brutal!! During these 8 games; injuries will occur, lapses will occur and opposing coaches will make adjustments to their offenses and defenses at half time which has to be managed by our coaching staff.

Even NDSU, which is a very well oiled machine, will have trouble getting through the MVFC undefeated. The upper tier teams, some could lose 3 games, with every team beating each other up.

Thus, getting into the playoffs from the MVFC will be difficult. We must play with high intensity the entire game and get 6 wins to assure a playoff spot.

Some how maybe we will prevail!  GO PENGUINS

I dont think their saying teams from the MVFC would win the National Title in FBS, but you don't think North Dakota, and UNI could hang in FBS..? Not sure if you follow some of the teams in the MVFC other than YSU, but there are some pretty good football teams...

Lets_Talk:
It is way to early in the season to start making playoff predictions. With that being said, some of you might take solace in knowing The Sports Network has a projected playoff bracket. There are 5 teams from the MVFC in their projected playoff bracket:

NDSU
SDSU
UNI
SIU
ISU(red)

YSU is one of 4 teams on the at-large bubble

Don't read TSN's bullsh**. They wrote an article Sunday that said the CAA is the deepest conference too.  Last time I checked the MVFC is 22-1 against other FCS conferences and has 2 FBS wins.  The two cellar dwellers in the MVFC have wins against an FBS opponent and a ranked FCS opponent. And that only loss is by is #4 Montana in a close game.  The following week that bottom dweller knocked off a top 25 NAU team.

TSN is sending subliminal messages to help influence votes for the CAA.  Their sportswriters are worth a $0.50 roll of toilet paper.  It is hard to believe they even wrote those words this year.

So far the CAA is 0-13 against FBS competition and 18-6 vs Other FCS conferences.  Of the 6 losses three have come to partial scholarship NEC teams.  They also have a loss to a Patriot League team but I'm not sure if they are full scholarship or not.  Either way TSN's claim that the CAA is the deepest conferemce is complete bullsh**.  It's like watching MSNBC spreading their lies.

The choice the YSU Athletic Department has is playoffs vs. MVFC membership plus a huge travel budget.

NDSU (and maybe even SDSU) is an unpaid blood game.

The rest of the MVFC (including YSU) would dominate most other FCS conferences.

Getting one at-large bid is scandalous...but the reality of the selection committee's biases.

So deciding to stay in the MVFC is = deciding to forego post-season.
