Re: Sports Network Picks

I like this one better but both articles I read on Sports Network picked UNI over Wofford 31-27. Wasn't sure if those were your picks in the post or Sports Network.

so...all home teams except us? Yea..okay...whatever.

I personally have it will be a sad day for the CAA...and there will be only one..maybe two SoCon left after Saturday.

Re: Sports Network Picks

The brackets on the Massey site has UNI falling to NDSU in the championship game:

These are based on their own ratings:

They also keep a weekly composite of ratings:

About three days to kickoff!

Legit questions: how many CAA and SoCon games have you watched this year?

Are you just guessing?

We lost to Lehigh at home last year. We have to re-earn home field playoff respect.

People keep bringing up Lehigh like we lost to some sort of patsy. We lost at home and did not look real good doing it, but give Lehigh some credit. It's not like they faded away into obscurity this year. They're back in the playoffs after a 10-1 regular season and #6 ranking-and are a dangerous team to have to face.

Re: Sports Network Picks

I'm thoroughly searching my post to where I said "patsy". We lost the last couple of home playoff games we've played in. Regardless of opponent, people remember that.

UNI has to earn back some national respect by winning again in playoffs. Why is that unreasonable?

Sorry 2317, wasn't meaning to say you specifically called them a patsy. It's just that that game has been brought up again and again this year as though we lost to some nobody. We lost to a playoff opponent that is back in again.

I agree a little with your point about losing at home, but in the playoffs all but one team is going to lose their last game, some of them will be at home. We haven't been bounced by poor teams and we haven't been blown out.

Wofford comes in as a quality program from a tough conference. We'll be in for a battle. A win doesn't guarantee anything more than the chance to play again, a loss isn't the end of the world. At least we get the chance to control our destiny each week in the FCS.
