A 7-4 Panther team will be a dangerous playoff opponent.

Re: 7-4
DSM Register article today on Farley's press conference. See the quote below.
That's why he's the guy. I love the attitude. Never say never.
“If you know our program, you never say never about anything,” he declared. “We’ll bite our lip and bite down on the mouthpiece and find a way to dig this thing out.
“We haven’t been in this position, but there’s a story still to be told. So we’ll see what happens now.”Winning is more fun than losing. -

Re: 7-4
No team with 6 DI wins has EVER made it to the playoffs as an at-large. I don't know why people aren't bringing this up. It doesn't appear that teams with just six DI wins are considered at all. Last year, for example, they took a second OVC team and a second Southland team before they took 7-4 teams from the CAA and Big Sky who had D2 wins.
If they were ever going to do it, it would be for this team if we made it to 7-4. That being said, the committee has been very inconsistent over the years but one thing they have been VERY consistent on is that they don't let in 6 DI win teams, even if they are 7-4 with a D2 win, in. Ever.Comment

History is not on our side unfortunately. But then again, the OVC has laid 20 eggs in a row.

The playoff field is now 20, so the game has changed.Originally posted by UNIGrainer View Post
IF UNI made it to 7-4, our resume would include 6 consecutive wins, close games vs. two Big 10 teams and 2 losses to top 10 FCS teams. That's a pretty compelling resume.
IF we were to end up 7-4, I think we get in.Winning is more fun than losing.Comment

Re: 7-4
Right, but maybe the committee would be smart enough to be understanding to the extenuating circumstances regarding our schedule, not because of the fact that we opted to play two B10 games, but rather the fact of how we got screwed by Savannah State.Originally posted by UNIGrainer View Post
If Savannah St wouldn't have dropped us off their schedule so terribly late, without notifying UNI whatsoever, this whole thing wouldn't be an issue. We would have the opportunity, if we won out, to be 7-4 with 7 D1 wins. Whether it was Central St or Savannah St, both were guaranteed wins for UNI. Unfortunately, only one of those terrible teams "counts", for whatever reason.
1) Our team just has to find out a way to win the rest of our games, and do so fairly convincingly.
2) We have to hope that the committee realizes that we are a very good team, with an extremely unique and unfortunate schedule, which in the case of Savannah St we could not control.UNI FIGHT

Re: 7-4
Add in that SDSU and Ill State will both probably be ranked teams...so 2 top 25 wins if we win out.
That Ill State game is gonna b a B!tc#"We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

Re: 7-4
A 7-4 UNI team is 'IN' the playoffs this year and will win a first round game anywhere in the country (likely at home). The 2nd playoff game will be a rematch with YSU or NDSU. Book it.Comment

Re: 7-4
Exactly, I said the same thing in a different thread. Has it been two or three years of the 20 team playoff? A statistician would laugh at you if you tried to prove something with a sample size of three. That being said it still just gets UNI on the bubble, dependent on what other teams do.Originally posted by 06panther10 View PostComment

Re: 7-4
Over the next 6 games UNI has to prove to the committee that they are without a doubt the 3rd best team in the MVFC if they want to have any chance.Comment

Re: 7-4
My prediction---UNI will easily be amongst the Top 20 FCS teams by the end of the season but will not be selected--the game with a D2 opponent was extremely costly.Comment

Re: 7-4
honestly there are maybe.. MAYBE 10 good FCS teams, after 15-20 its just pathetic and YES UNI is a top 10-20 fcs team.UNI has #2 Dome in MVFC, but Ice Lounge rocks! BisoNation.comComment

Re: 7-4
I feel like I can't even remember the last time we won a REAL football game......
09/29/2012 - NDSU = Loss
09/22/2012 - Youngstown State = Loss
09/15/2012 - Iowa = Loss
09/08/2012 - Central State = DII is not a REAL football game
09/01/2012 - Wisconsin = Loss
12/09/2011 - Montana = Loss
12/03/2011 - Wofford = Triple option isn't REAL football.
11/19/2011 - llinois State = Great game, double OT win!Comment
