Missouri Valley games 11/1

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Big games today for many Valley teams:


Missouri State @ Indiana State

South Dakota @ Youngstown State

South Dakota State @ North Dakota State

Illinois State @ Northern Iowa


My picks:

Ind State
YSU
NDSU
Ill State

IMO, only 3 Valley teams make the playoffs this year....maybe a 4th. Ill State and NDSU are in and Ind State is in the driver's seat with their win over UNI. YSU also is in good shape right now.

The worst thing for the Valley is for Ill State and NDSU to run the table....then only 3 will get in. Those two teams need to lose for 4-5 teams to make the playoffs.

SW MO State
YSU
NDSU
UNI

Illinois State @ UNI

UNI fumble on its first possession. ISU scores on first possession - 12 seconds into game to make it 7-0.

UNI just blocked a punt and returned for a TD. Now 7-7 with 11:09 left 2Q

Neither teams' offense is able to move the ball so far.

UNI wins 42-28.

UNI wins 42-28.

Good win for UNI.

They run the table they are in the playoffs.

Should be a battle in CF next week.

It's the only way in.

7-5 is out
8-4 is in

So, in other words, UNI is out of the playoffs.

SDSU has a huge game against Ind State this week. Loser of this game is out of the playoff picture.

UNI/NDSU will be a head knocker!



Not a bad run for the Bison.....52 wins in the last 54 games.....

SDSU would be out with a loss (would make 5 losses and only a 6 possible D-I wins)
but Indiana State would still have some hopes of getting in after a loss, finishing 8-4 with an FBS win on the resume.

Yep, you are right. I forgot about their Ball State win...

8-4 would put them in with a FBS win.

Yep. They'll shit their pants like they do every year.
