No...the view of the conference by 98% of people will be that since WIU is tied for first and neither SIU or UNI are undefeated the conference must suck something hard.AZGrizFan wrote:I don't know about "mediocre", but "competitive" for sure.DJH wrote:The MVFC is mediocre at best.
Gee, that sounds an awful lot like how this past basketball season, because UNI was atop the league instead of SIU or Creighton, or whoever, everyone said that the MVC was down that season.clenz wrote:No...the view of the conference by 98% of people will be that since WIU is tied for first and neither SIU or UNI are undefeated the conference must suck something hard.

The conference certainly isn't unfolding like people expected it would going into the season.
But I, for one, don't think that makes it bad or "sucky". It may not be the strongest that the league has ever been, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see an MVFC team make a deep playoff run (I just don't know which team it might be, yet
Rest easy, big fella. UNI snuck into my poll this week. I mean, I had to rank SOMEBODY from the MVFC, right?Cap'n Cat wrote:AZGF,
Fvck you. Just pay attention to your slumping-ass Griz, OK??????
IDK...I mean it is October 3rd in most of the world. That now means UNI hasn't won in over a day. I don't know how you could rank them. It's been so long since our last win.AZGrizFan wrote:Rest easy, big fella. UNI snuck into my poll this week. I mean, I had to rank SOMEBODY from the MVFC, right?Cap'n Cat wrote:AZGF,

You might be right. A win against a pushover like SDSU is really no win at all. I'll have to reconsider.DJH wrote:Its been literally hours since UNI has won a game. No way do they deserve to be ranked.
I just don't see people giving MSU respect. Any time we beat a good team, it's always a fluke.guinzone wrote:I think I will have the likes of MSU, YSU, NDSU, and UNI all ranked between 20-25 when I submit my poll.

It's a little too early for the crying. You've beat a bad EKU team and a YSU team that, frankly, no one knows about (3 point win over SIU and nothing else of note), and you lost to ISU(red). You're borderline top 25, if top 25 at all, until you prove that you're the team that beat YSU (who may or may not be good) rather than the team that lost to Illinois State.MSUBear42 wrote:I just don't see people giving MSU respect.

ISU didn't lay an egg, SIU showed up with a healthy o line at last and rushed for 300 yds. and 40 minutes TOP.AZGrizFan wrote:I had YSU @ #7. They go out and lose to Missouri State, 35-25.
I had NDSU @ #11. They go out and **** the bed against Western Illinois, 28-16.
I had ISU @ #18. They lay an egg against SIU, 38-17.
On a positive note, UNI finally figured out how to win a game...albeit against a winless SDSU team. Maybe they'll make my poll this week.
I didn't say we deserved it or was crying about not being ranked. Was just saying, MSU has to fight to gain respect coming from the basement.ToTheLeft wrote:It's a little too early for the crying.

Any slip up the next two games and you'll never see the top 25. Then beat WIU and SIU and you'll be a top 15 team to most. If you don't beat them, you didn't deserve "respect" and you were a "fluke".
That's the way it works. The flip side is that when you do get that respect, sometimes you get kept in the rankings when you don't deserve it.MSUBear42 wrote:I didn't say we deserved it or was crying about not being ranked.

Yeah, that's kinda what happens during conference season. But in MY poll, the top 3 MVFC teams all lost. That's a beating, and will hurt you in MY poll.siuham wrote:MVC takes a beating....from the MVC.
