Re: Milestones Accumulate
You're just saying that cause Meyer beat you guys once and Nichols has not. Meyer had a better single season, and better scrambling ability, but Nichols has a better arm, better stats, and one better game against the Griz. The D just didn't hold up their end of the bargain in 07 and this year. You'...

Re: Milestones Accumulate

Re: Milestones Accumulate
That does seem like a stupid rule and one easy to rectify. Still, with at least two games left, Matt will unofficially own the #2 spot behind Dickenson and certainly be in some fine company.

Milestones Accumulate
A somewhat down junior year and living in the shadow of Armanti Edwards has Matt Nichols quietly finishing one of the better careers in the history of FCS quarterbacks. I hadn't realized until I read this article that he is already in the FCS top 10 for career total offense yardage and passing yards...

Re: Playoffs: Where we stand (10/31)
My bad, I thought we were talking about a "7-3" EWU team which as I've admitted would get passed over for an 8-3 UNI which won the head to head. Just not neccessarily for the one reason you gave although I will admit that W&M got screwed last year. For that matter a 7-4 Weber State wo...

Re: Top Rankings for Computer and Human Poll Biases - 10/31
Don't like polls. I don't need a computer to figure out the 8 auto-bid conference winners. Does anyone else? After that, with any form of intelligence, I could probably pick the next 8 best teams. The committee does it. I know it's not always the next best 8 teams but, you get the idea...right? Las...

Re: Big Sky Power Rankings 11-2
I would love to have a real convo with fans over the age of 14 though any day. I would really love these forums if we had a rule that you had to be 18 to use them. There is no way to monitor this though. I'm not saying EWU's a joke, you have a very good team. I have no reason to not want to see big...

Re: Playoffs: Where we stand (10/31)
I've mentioned this in another thread, but beyond the "any team with less than 7 DI wins will be in serious jeopardy of not being considered for an at-large bid" soft requirement, I would like to think the committee takes the time in considering the quality of DI wins. One of UNI's "...

This is the best record each team could possibly have otherwise. They won't finish this way because NAU plays...

Re: Playoffs: Where we stand (10/31)
IMO, the MVFC has 3 teams locked in already, unless a unexpected upset happens. 4 losses for UD and UMass vs at worst a 3 loss MVFC team at the worst.

Would either be eligible for an AQ? One advantage to a 12 team conference is being forced to play games against teams that would now be in your conference rather than negotiating less than favorable home and homes which can be bought out. And you would think the number of at-larges would similar to...

Re: Out West!
The Big Sky shouldn’t allow any schools into the conference as “football only”. If they are to let more schools in, make them pony up the money to have all the other sponsored sports travel. I would think it would put cal davis and cal poly at an advantage if they only had to fund the additional tr...

Re: Latest Playoff Predictions 10/28
An 8-3 EWU would have no bad losses, the same number of quality wins (NAU and MSU) and a higher conference GPI than UNI. So would Weber, NAU, or Montana State).

Re: Big Sky Power Rankings 10-26
Check that. Upon reviewing the MVC's standings and remaining schedule, they look pretty tough and solid for 3 bids. The A-12 may only be deserving of three as well. I disagree that UNI looks good for a second at-large and third MVFC bid to the playoffs. The MVFC is a power conference at the very to...

You're just sore because the addition of purple field turf would require sit down only toilets in all the facilities.
