      More important to look at the quality of the teams we lost to.

        Re: Honest Question

        I don't understand a DII win being a bad thing. In my mind it would just be a null factor, act like the game didn't even happen, unless the DI team lost.

        Wofford played a DII this year, and we have done so many years. The problem is trying to get 5 home games each year, and not being able to find anyone to come play us except a DII team. It's not that we want to schedule a DII team, but it's about all we can do. It almost hurt us this year. We had to win our last game to reach the 7 DI win guideline.

          so you're saying it's better to be a quality loser than a quality winner?
          I'm not buying it.

            Tonight on OPR Dannen said we were not going to recieve a seed. The Iowa state upset is what ended up getting the 5 seed over Towson.

But I don't think the quote can legitimately be attributed to our athletic director, unless you have more direct evidence.
                Rima had Dannen on the show tonight. He actually gave a full interview about a lot of playoff information

                    Re: Honest Question

                    It was Dannen who said it. Said he got a call on Saturday from the Youngstown AD (who was on the committee) who said we were not seeded and wanted more info on our loss to Iowa State to pass on to the committee.

                    Also said would never schedule a D-II again. Apparently costs you too much with the selection committee.

                      obviously. I mean just think if we had scheduled a D-II opponent, we might have had to settle for the #3 seed (GSU played Tusculum) or the #4 seed (Montana played Western Oregon)

                        Re: Honest Question

                        The reason this seeding issue bothers me so much is that it cost UNI the chance to host Montana in the dome (if we are fortunate enuf to beat Wofford of course).

                        UNI has been waiting for the chance to host that game for 10 years. This was the year. The cards were stacked. And then the committee applied the Montana rules and switched the seeding to give Montana a home game they don't deserve.

                        UNI needs some of these epic match-ups at home to get their fan base energized.
                        Winning is more fun than losing.

                          This is a great take, especially the underlined part. These kinds of arbitrary and biased decisions have big impacts to schools. It sucks, but time to move on and take care of business. The ultimate vindication is to win week 1 and then beat Montana in their house. Then its go all the way and bring home the hardware after an all MVFC championship game!!

                              I like YSU a little more than I did before. He didn't have to do that, and quite clearly he got us on that fifth line himself.

                                Ha! Exactly. Rather subjective interpretation of the criteria by the committee...What's good for the Eagle and Grizzly is not good for the Panther.
