        Wow - I was way off on this game, as most were. I want to revise and extend my remarks with regards to UNI's performance vs BYU in light of UCLA...

          Yep, this game wasn't even close!

          Maybe BYU will run the table . . .

            As a BYU Cougar fan, it's always interesting to see how others perceive our football team. I know that we embarrassed UCLA at our house but it was not done purposely.. Our team just played hard to win. For those of you that thought that the game will be close, I'm sure now you have a good idea of what our team is capable of.. Having our fullback Fui Vakapuna back is a big help for our team.. He does a better job at picking up the blitz and also opening holes for Unga. Anyway, your performance against us is a good plus for your football team.. We were able to have a good assessment of things that we needed to be improved upon after playing you guys. The Washington game, was a game that you have to watch to understand that the score shouldn't have been as close as it was. Unga's fumble on the goal line is an example. If we got that score we would have been up by two touchdowns making the game out of reach for Washington. Anyways, thats old news. Our team is focusing on playing our conference games. Hopefully we run the table which will make you guys look much better. Good luck for the rest of the season to your football team..

              Good luck to you, but it won't really make any difference how BYU does the rest of the year for our post season chances. We lost the game and it counts as a loss. Nobody is going to say UNI played BYU much better than UCLA did and give us any credit for that.

              The reality is we have not won any games yet that count toward post season qualification and we most likely need to win 8 of our last 10 to make it. The only way we go with a 7-4 record is if that is good enough to win the conference and get the autobid.

                I don't get why USD won't count as a win towards playoffs by they will as a loss...Can someone please explain that to me?

                  you need 7 division 1 wins to be playoff eligible. USD does not count as a d-1 win because they are a transitional d-1 team. Every game counts as a win or loss but 7 of the wins must be against d-1 to count

                    We are playing 12 games....winning 8 of the next 10 will see us playing in the UNI Dome in round 1 IMO. I think 9-3 looks good this year.

                      If we would have lost would that have counted against us then?????

                        Not real sure what you mean by against us? If we lose a game to USC or lose a game to Wartburg it would show up as a loss on our record. Likewise a win shows up in the win column. The only win/loss requirement is that you must have 7 Division 1 wins. After that it's up to the committee to decide who gets in.

                            Clarification, you need to have 7 qualified DI wins.

                            The reason USD, UND, Southern Utah, et al need to travel for so many games is that they are considered transitional programs. If a fully qualified FBS or FCS program beats a transitional team, the win does not count for that playoff or bowl tally. A loss against anyone, including NAIA Briar Cliff, would still count as a loss. So really, these teams are really scheduling a transitional teams as soft spots in the schedule.

                            Those are the NCAA rules. It certainly discourages schools from moving up.

                              that was a typo on my part I meant to say you need 7 d-1 wins (doesn't include transitional teams)

                                Southern Utah made the jump to DI in '93. I'm pretty sure they're doing with their transitional period.
