2010 MVFC team by team record break down

[AssKickinChicken]

Don't know about all-time, but since 1995 it looks like the MVFC is 11-10 vs the CAA:

Delaware - 6-0
Richmond - 2-0
W&M - 1-1
UNH - 1-3
JMU - 0-1
UMass - 0-1
Villanova - 0-2
Maine - 0-3

the vast majority were playoff games

URI and Towson - no games

[93henfan]

The MVC is actually 43-29 against the CAA.

Without looking it up, I'm going to say there is no way the MVC and CAA have met 72 times.

Clenz obviously pulled the figures from his ass.

MVFC is 19-13 vs the CAA all time, 11-9 in the FCS/I-AA playoffs

All-time MVFC vs:

Boston U - 1-2
Connecticut - no meetings
Delaware - 0-5
Hofstra - 5-1
James Madison - 1-0
Maine - 4-1
Massachusetts - 1-0
New Hampshire - 3-1
Northeastern - 1-0
Rhode Island - no meetings
Richmond - 0-3
Towson - no meetings
Villanova - 2-0
William & Mary - 1-0

Obviously the MVFC should avoid playing Delaware (12-1) at all costs.

Man without Delaware that would be rape

Yep. UD is the only team, maybe Richmond, that has had any success against the MVFC

They must be counting DII days as Delaware has not played Youngstown 7 times since moving to I-AA.

However as we all know the CAA grew much stronger during the last decade and since 2000 the overall CAA record vs the MVFC stands at 8-6.

That's a garbage in/garbage out tally. I'm not sure what they're including. Perhaps back to the D-II and college division days? The numbers certainly weren't all from Yankee/A10/CAA vs Gateway/MVFC teams. They appear to be an all-time head to head between the respective teams, regardless of division or conference affiliation at the time.

The numbers I posted above are the correct figures for FCS/I-AA. The valid games start when the Gateway was formed in 1985.

8-7.

NDSU could go 0-fer for all I know, but Ive been watching the BISON for a while now. We are building a new team. Lots of stellar players and improvement at the QB position make them a sleeper.

UNI is going to be in the reload/rebuild situation. I think they are rebuilding.

SIU is probably the league favorite. What I like about them is the number of young players they have showing up in the individual statistics for the league. They have a lot of up and coming young guys.

I like the coaching in the league. We have several "down" programs that are obviously building decent teams.

I also like NDSUs home schedule. SIU and SDSU at home. SDSU will not be as good as advertised. I really wasnt that impressed last year even though they rolled against the Herd.

Its a good league. People in Fargo are cautiously optimistic. Football is cyclical. NDSU has never been down for long. This upcoming season wouldnt be the first time NDSU has gone from worst to first. We were very competitive last year. More so than a lot of MVFC fans are giving credit. There is a solid foundation that is being overlooked in Fargo. Add a little maturity, a few new talented faces and few breaks and you have a contender at NDSU.

Go BISON!!!

You have a great o line, unfortunately you don't have anybody that can score; it kind of defeats the purpose when you have the ball for 40 minutes and can only manage 1 TD. Now that you have lost PP, it looks like another season of great possession times and few points to show for it. Who'd a thunk two seasons ago that the Jacks would quickly become a playoff contender and the Bison would struggle at the FCS level? Goes to show you never can tell...

BTW, I think SIU added an o lineman from NDSU, forget his name but he was getting a long look in the spring game.

NDSU had one of the most prolific offenses in the MVC last year, we just had no defense. I'm not worried about replacing a running back, we've been grooming a pretty good back in DJ McNorton to step in and take over. QB and WR are the real question marks offensively.

But on the other side of the ball they are everywhere outside of the defensive line. Our new D-Cord has a lot of work to do after Breske(now at Montana) took us in a terrible direction last year and Bohl had to replace him with somebody who understands the Tampa 2 defense.

Well, the stats look good on the season, when InSU and Wagner are included, but the Bison were held to 17 pts. or less in four MVC games. That's a bad sign with an o line like that.

One of the games was a mud bowl at WIU, it was like playing on a swamp and we would have put 40-50 on the board against them if the field was even close to decent. We did dominate UNI and YSU offensively, but we had no chance defensively. We would score and they would drive down the field at will against us.

Ah, I see; I was wondering about that score. Must have been a real pit, the Bison should run amok on a muddy field.

Great link, interesting reading. I too believe ISU is going to be formidable. They are certainly in the position NDSU wants to be in a couple of years and with some hope they can have an impact season this coming year. It just depends how quickly the team is going to come together. There is no shortage of talent in Fargo. The BISON are loaded up with young players.

I also think SIU is solid. SDSU is strong but they may have more problems than people think. Their road schedule is brutal to boot.

UNI is hoping for the best and the rest of the league is probably looking at average to below average seasons.

I think ISU has a serious shot at the title, they were impressive against a good SIU team last season.

We're still very young, skilled and well coached, but in-experienced. I think we're still a year away from making any real noise.

I hope you're right because we're going to be down a little from last year.

If anyone gets bored... here is what the YSU fans are predicting for the 2010 season:

Note: Last season's predictions were around 6-8 wins; which turned out to be pretty close to being right as we finished 6-5 on the year.
