Gpi 10-27

Thanks Hando. I presume E Illinois was the OVC champ and J State was refused an at-large. Do you know who the Southland champ was; McNeese or SFA? Looks like the GPI predicted the field pretty well last year. Do you have any years before that.?

Jax St. was ineligible due to API issues, as was Chatty. EWU successfully appealed their ineligibility ruling, and were made eligible. EIU was the OVC champ in the field of 16.

UNI had the 3 conference losses, so didn't finish in 3rd. If they had beaten Il St in the last game, they would have been in.

Absolutely. Clearly it recognizes just how tough of a schedule SDSU has played and if we can beat them we should go to the playoffs. If we don't we don't deserve to go. But this shows that even with 1 more loss and a combo of losses by other teams, we may be able to grab the last spot with 7 wins. Very unlikely but who knows? The only guarantee is to go 3-0. Then we may be able to bid on a game.

Almost impossible to get in at 7-4. If we win out we'll probably be ranked between 10-15 which barely get's us in. Another loss probably puts us out of the top 25. Unless you believe in miracles we need to win out.

It's simple, we go 8-3 we're in. We'll be on a 4 game winning streak and have a Big 12 win. We go 7-4 we're out.

Go look at all the other 3 loss teams out there...there are quite a few this year. The MVFC isn't the only conference that is beating up on each other, look at the CAA.

Unlikely but certainly possible.

In the last 4 years, 4 teams have made the playoffs with a 7-4 record. We most resemble the Montana State team of 2006, IMO, who had a few rough losses, but also beat a poor FBS team. They even lost to a DII team and were absolutely destroyed by a 6 win Cal-Davis team.

Anyone saying we have no chance at 7-4 is just plain wrong. I wouldn't expect to get in at 7-4, but teams that have done LESS than we have this year have gotten in, and that was with 2 fewer at large berths.
