Re: 11-7 TSN Poll

You forgot about Illinois St at #14 (or at least didn't highlight them)

Re: 11-7 TSN Poll

This poll is such bullsh!t. The actually gave votes to Richmond 3-6 and o-6 in the CAA conference. What an F'ng joke. Youngstown State gets no votes, has a better record against better competition. I wonder how much the CAA pays them to get thier team ranked for a playoff spot. They had an article up there today that was talking 5 teams.

Re: 11-7 TSN Poll

I agree with you happyfeetpower, your team is a top 25 team in my mind, furthermore Drake is getting votes? I mean our 3rd string could win by at least 25 versus Drake.

Yes... but they are winning the Patriot League at this time and the Patriot League leader usually gets a few votes, no matter where they stand nationally.

Re: 11-7 TSN Poll

Re: 11-7 TSN Poll

FWIW ... the Massey composite (35 polls included as of this writing on Monday afternoon) has UNI number two:

http://masseyratings.com/cf/compare1aa.htm

MVFC has the number 1 (NDSU), 2 (UNI), 14 (Indiana State), 16 (Illinois State) and 21 (Youngstown State) spots in their composite.

They've had about 50 different polls feed into the composite each week this season, so there may be some shifting as it fills out this week.

St Francis and Valpo are not better competition.

[penguinpower]

Re: 11-7 TSN Poll

St Francis and Valpo are not better competition.

I know that they are not better competition. The MVFC top to bottom is better than the CAA this year therefore the schedule is tougher than the CAA. I believe that the MVFC and the Southern Conference are the two best conferences this year. I also believe that an MVFC team will win the NC this year.


Unfortunatley the endless wisdom of the NCAA has a win over St. Francis and Valpo count towrd a Div 1 win. A D2 team like Slippery Rock or Clarion who is better than both of those doesn't count for an at large playoff bid in 7 division 1 wins.


YSU has been competitive in every game and blew the Indiana State game. They should have won.
