  • MVFC Blog Returns

    After a summer of hiatus, I am back with my first two MVFC pieces of content of 2021. In case you missed me in the spring, I am just a guy who enjoys MVFC football and enjoys writing so I combined both into this blog. I don't make any money for this, I just do it for the love of the game. I'm also a UNI alum. If you have the interest/time, check it out.

    My week one MVFC primer can be found here. Iowa State will be a tough one. I think week two against Sac State may be the key game to set the tone for the season though: https://www.missourivalleybeat.com/p...eek-one-primer

    My article ranking the MVFC money games in order of likeliness of victory is here. UNI is playing by far the toughest opponent of any MVFC team this year: https://www.missourivalleybeat.com/p...fc-money-games

    Check them out if you'd like. GO PANTHERS!

      Hey All,

      My recap of week 2 in the MVFC can be found here: https://www.missourivalleybeat.com/p...k-2-mvfc-recap

      I'll have a primer for this week's games out later this week. Next week I plan to power rank the FCS leagues so stay tuned for that as well.

      Check them out if you'd like and follow me @BeatMVC if you'd like as well. Let's get Theo rolling this week, and get ready for some big ones coming up!

                Nice write up as always. I agree about Indiana State, they're not a playoff team but they're definitely better than they've been in the past. They should be a fun team to keep an eye on, maybe make a little noise (which is a good thing we don't play them because I could totally see us playing that role of "team to make noise against").

                  Thank you! They host SDSU this week so we'll probably learn a lot about them, but they got a nice win last week. Would probably be competitive in most other leagues.

                          My preview for week five is below. Let's beat the Penguins and set our sights on the Bison!

                          League play has started, but not everyone has started league play. In fact, three of the league’s ranked teams were not in action last week, and none of the ranked teams played each other. The entire membership will be playing this week, and the ranked teams miss each other again with one very big exception. All I’ll say is that in this author’s opinion ESPN2 is broadcasting the wrong FCS game. That said, a preview of week 5 in the MVFC is below. -#16 Missouri State (2-1) @ Illinois State (

                            The recap for week 5 in the Valley is below. Looks like Happy learned how to putt! Go Panthers!

                            Look you guys, I am trying to play it cool and not make this about me. But I gotta say, after another perfect week I am now 39-1 picking MVFC football games this year. I know a lot of the games have been gimmes, but 39-1 is pretty dang good by any measure. We’ll see if I can keep that pace the whole year (spoiler alert: probably not). As for the action on the field, it was a pretty straightforward week. There weren’t any surprises, although there were a couple near misses. A recap of what ha

                              My preview for what should be a crazy week six in the MVFC below. I am as cautiously optimistic for a UNI game in Fargo as I have been in a decade (but I still picked NDSU).

                              I took a little stroll over to the Massey ratings to see what they think of the MVFC so far this year. It turns out, according to Massey, the Valley is a cut above. I can’t disagree. Massy has SDSU at #1, NDSU at #2, Northern Iowa at #4, Southern Illinois at #6, Missouri State at #8, South Dakota at #11 and North Dakota at #13. He also has Western Illinois at #21, Youngstown at #22, Illinois State at #30 and Indiana State at #39 out of 128 FCS teams. These rankings may be a little bit infla


                              I will start doing playoff projections with my recaps and power rankings with my previews starting this weekend and moving forward. You can also follow me on Twitter @BeatMVC

                              Thanks!
