Re: Weber Fever

FAMU or another Patriot would've gotten smoked.

That very well could be, but I'm inclined to give a team with a better record a shot over a proven weak team from a "power" conference. Just my personal bias.

Re: Weber Fever

UNI wins they are in, they didn't. They have no one to blame but themselves. You never want to leave it up to a commitee to chose your future. When your best win is Mo St it makes things tougher.

Re: Weber Fever

FAMU might have put a fight up....

Like they did against Hampton?

FAMU got beat pretty well by two different teams in their conference.

The Patriot showed in it's OOC slate that they were nothing special.

Quoted for truth.

Re: Weber Fever

People argued Weber St vs. UNI and I saw both sides had merit. Personally I just didn't feel losses to two bad FBS teams was better than one loss to a very good FBS team. In hindsight it's pretty clear UNI is a better team. As for FAMU, I just don't see it. Would Weber St or UNI lose to Hampton? I don't think so. Also IMHO Ill. St. beats FAMU rather easily.

As for letting weak team with good records into the playoffs, we will see that next year. We might see some first round games that will make 38-0 seem like a close game.

Just wait until an undefeated Pioneer league team sneaks in because of the expansion. Whoever they play will hang 70...

It might be SDSU, who will lose in spite of scoring 70

Re: Weber Fever

I know I would cheer for Drake as PFL champs.

While UNI may have done better against W&M, I don't think they would have come out with a W. At least, not the way the Panthers ended the season. Doing better isn't good enough -- we needed to make a case that we could contend for a win and that simply didn't happen.

I think the bigger point is, IF UNI was let in, we would have ponied up $$$ for a home game, and how does it look sending a team to 7-4 UNI. UNI would not have traveled to W&M.....

Re: Weber Fever

SFA would have come here and EWU would have gone WAY OUT EAST....

Re: Weber Fever

Not arguing that UNI should have gotten the nod for the playoffs this year. They blew that one themselves and I can't fault the committee for making a decision that did not include UNI. However, I was more than happy to see that Weber got beat like a tied up goat. It might bode well in the future when a similar type of decision has to be made between the BS conference and the MVFC. Had the bunnies been able to close, it would have been a nice cherry on top of the sundae...Damn bunnies.

Re: Weber Fever

Damn Bunnies is right.

Montana only managed 12 points against 1-10 Idaho State, but the Bunnies and the 'Amazing' scoring defense gave up 61...

Re: Weber Fever

And UNI scored 14 against that defense. Go figure.
