How is NAU ahead of Montana State? They have the same conference record, and got massacred by MSU.

Yeah, I'm SHOCKED that dback didn't point that out.

If they had the same overall record, yes, but NAU beat their FCS OOC teams, while MSU has a loss.

Head to Head is very important, but when a team tanks later, is not the only consideration.

If MSU beats UM, then they should move back into #2 BSC spot.

Boy, a short walk from the penthouse to the outhouse for my Cats!

You are correct. I've never seen anything like it. To me perhaps the most frustrating season for a team I've ever seen. Pretty much a razor thin edge between being undefeated and looking at a top seed and the reality of being 5-5 and probably having no post season. Sad thing is that last year was almost as bad.

Drink up, my friend.

EIU and SHSU should be ahead of EWU.

Why?

Well, with Sam Houston State there's the having the same record while having beaten Eastern Washington 49-34 and rushing for 450 yards at 8.3 yards per carry in the process. Eastern Illinois I don't know except that I'm one who believes the better power ratings represent more objective and comprehensive assessments than polls do. The two I look at the most, Sagarin and Massey, both have Eastern Illinois rated higher than Eastern WAshington.

Then again they also both have Eastern Washington rated higher than Sam Houston State.

So I guess it's hard to pick one way of looking at it.

Give FAMU some credit. They now have a quality win over 3-7 Norfolk State, and they did come within 11 touchdowns of upsetting Ohio State.

The Rattlers haven't been the same since Billy Joe manned the sidelines with his pass happy scheme in the early millenium.

FAMU, the last MEAC team that was relevant on the national scene.
