It all sounds good till they pick and we are the ugly person that doesn’t get asked to go the dance,  it’s been happening for what 30 years.  Our Commissioner is not a player in the room either.  Plus the rules change every year well the fake rules

Right now, here is the order:

7 DI wins:
1. South Dakota State
5. South Dakota
9. North Dakota State
------------------------------
Teams with 6 DI wins and on the bubble:
17. North Dakota
20. Southern Illinois
27. UNI
29. Illinois St.
30. YSU

NDSU is already in, there is NO DOUBT! The only team in the balance that would be considered with only 6 wins is North Dakota and that took a big hit. They win they're in! Unless they really love the MVFC, everyone else is out. Again this is if the selections were today

Sacramento State, UT Martin and Western Carolina have all lost. All were potential at-large teams going into the weekend. What does this do to the equation for YSU?

Watched the end of the ndsu uni game which udsu won by 21, interesting that the uni announcers still feel that uni has a good chance for the play-offs at 6-5. First I thought that you had to have 7 wins, but nice they are optimistic.

It helps.  But we would certainly be in if Illinois State would have won but they missed something like 2 field goals and an extra point andost 21-20.

Here's the good news.  We beat SIU. And SIU has the same record
  In addition we played Ohio State who was ranked #1 or #2 or #3 depending on the week.

Lastly, all of our losses, except SDSU were close.

I think we've got a shot and a Duquesne matchup would likely be the first game.  Just my opinion

Games that hurt us
Terrible loss at home last week to SD St we didn’t just lose we got shut out
All our wins are against the second half of the division no wins against the top 5 teams.  Not our fault that we had an easier conference schedule
2 BS games against bottom feeder teams yes we won but nothing special
Yes we played Ohio St but that will mean crap to the committee.
When you go 7-4 it’s a crap shoot.  8-3 we were in.

Getting in will be a miracle. Let’s face it. Our defense let us down all year. Gave up too many points on the road and at home. If we do get in and have Duquesne we will win and win big!!  After that it’s a crapshoot. All in all, one of the most disappointing seasons in a long time!!

Go Guins!!

Well said Go!   We do not get in over SIU!  Hope I am wrong!  Stop playing the Valpos of the world!

If we get in we will not destroy Duquesne.   They have a very solid and I mean very solid defense.
