  • A quick peak shows...

    UNI has a decent but still tough road to the conference title.
    UNI has @ YSU, @ISU(b), MSU, and @ WIU. A win this weekend to launch up to 4-1 could be the biggest thing for us! It really could come down to this weekend for the automatic bid, but playoff seeding/placement would need a great win-out. (sorry, i really can't see us losing to ISU or WIU..hope im right! )

    2nd place WIU has Ill. State this weekend followed by @SIU and UNI to end the season. I think they hit their peak early with those easier teams and they face two of the traditionally toughest defenses to end the season. I can't see them winning even 2 outta 3. I give them 1 outta 3. Finishing with a 4-4 record.

    3rd place place SDSU has to go to Ind. State this week followed by a home game with Missouri State and finishes with the border battle with the Bison.
    (I give them 2 outta 3....finishing 5-3 in the conference).

    Barring a catastrophe from the front runners, I can't see Ill State getting into the playoffs or winning with a 3-3 record where they are now. They play WIU and YSU to end the season..a potential 5-3 but would guess 4-4.

    SIU, which is near the bottom of the conference at 2-2 has a tough schedule to end, but if they can win the next two on the road (arguably their toughest left)...they could end up 6-2. They play @MSU this weekend, (MSU has their number in Springfield) and @NDSU before finishing the year with WIU and Ind. State (B) at home.

    We gotta do buisness this weekend at YSU, but the future has a very bright side with a win this weekend.

    Watch for WIU and SIU this weekend on your gametrackers!

    Illinois State is out of the playoffs. They won't be able to get to seven D-I wins required for an at-large bid. They can't win the conference. I suppose they could still get the auto bid for winning the MVFC.

    SDSU has to win out to get to seven D-I wins. They could still win the conference, too.

    Missouri State will be officially eliminated from any playoff consideration with their next loss.

      Is the 7 D1 win guidline still in effect with the expanded palyoffs?

        yes. The clause is included in the 2010 playoff handbook:
        3. The won-lost record of a team will be scrutinized to determine a team’s strength of schedule; however, less than seven Division I wins may place a team in jeopardy of not being selected;
        4. The committee may give more consideration to those teams that have played all Division I opponents;

          Haha...so really, they all still can get in. Hence why i put them down Purely about the conference race, not overall records.

            Love our chances going forward. Man FCS is so much better than FBS!

              the downfall is if we lose 1 game...SIU wins out...1. SIU would most likely get the auto-bid, and 2. We would be left at 7-4 and hoping with a tied 1st place conference record...to sneak into the field of 20.

                We control our own destiny at this point. What more can you ask for - other than "hold on to the f*&^#!n ball."

                  We need to peak at the right time, and not too quickly!

                    I think we are still 3 or 4 weeks from really hitting our full stride. That would come right at playoff time.

                      No problem with that. We just got our equipment squared away and started the climb.

                        That's what she said.
                        Winning is more fun than losing.
