Open Letter to MVFC Playoff Teams

[MAKBison]

I don't think a 7-4 record in the MEAC would've gotten us in. The more teams from the Valley, the higher our odds each season.

Maybe, but I think it has more to do with individual schools than conferences. Of course you get a 10 years of conference domination change the playoff committee form its current make up and yeah OK. I Guess I think there are just certain teams that despite their conference will always have a bit of an edge and get the benefit of the doubt. I think NDSU is one of those teams.

SEC teams would rather lose to each other than OOC.

Do you think we would have gone 7-4 against a MEAC schedule?

No, but if we had we certainly wouldn't be in the playoffs in 2010. I think your comment is basically making my point - having a strong conference gives us a better chance of getting into the playoffs. 7-4 MVFC >>> 7-4 MEAC.

I'd much rather finish fourth in the Valley than second in the MEAC. However, if all years were like last year, third in the Valley wasn't even good enough to get in. I just hope the Valley lives up to the respect we've been given this year so we keep qualifying at least four teams.

Good point. I'm sure Auburn/Alabama, Ole Miss/MSU, etc believe this.

The last time NDSU lost an OOC regular season game was in 2009! Think about it!

NDSU is 14-1 in FCS playoff games. To me, that's more impressive since the playoffs are supposed to feature the best teams.

Ok, y'all, here's the deal. The committee has seen fit to send half of our conference to the playoffs. You all know damn well NDSU will represent. The challenge is for the rest of you. Don't go to Montana and fill your pull-ups again. Don't go out east and get beat by some pantywaist ascot wearing hufflepuffs. And for the love of all that is good and right, if you have home field advantage, don't let some band of goofballs come in and embarrass you on your own field. You all know who you are. Now go! Earn the respect our conference was given!

Thank you,
Tatanka.

Ahh.. Sam Houston on the road it was like a big Sky shootout like 55-52 I seem to remember being pissed thst the refs screwed us on the last drive but I can't remember. I remember watching a lame Web feed

Anyway. .. good point on OOC strength

Long pass to put us in FG range I believe but it was ruled he was across the line of scrimmage.
