Week 10 Polls

[Bisonville GasMan]

Cute poll. Imho if the coaches were asked which team they would least like to play it would be The Bison.

This here is true.

Assuming the big 3 in the MVFC win out, which of these scenarios would be the easier road to Frisco for the Bison?
1. McNeese as a 2 seed and NDSU at the three (possible semifinal on the road if McNeese gets there, semifinal at home if they don't), with ISUr and SDSU in the other bracket as the 4 and 5.
2. NDSU at #2 and ISUr at 3, with a possible home semifinal against the Redbirds.

I only ask because if NDSU deserves to be ahead of McNeese (and we should), then ISUr and SDSU should be as well. I think if we play well, the only teams that have a shot at us are UNI, ISUr, and SDSU.

5 of the 7 computers have published. It looks like NDSU will be #1 in the next GPI.

#1 easily because I doubt a 2 seeded McNeese would make the semis thus giving NDSU homefield until Frisco anyway and if SDSU and ISUr are on the other side of the bracket its likely UNI is as well.

I don't know, ISUr is probably the next best team in the draw. I think I'd want to play them in our building and in scenario #2 we'd be guaranteed home field no matter who the opponent is.

By "our building", I'm assuming you mean Toyota Stadium?

Really only MVFC teams scare me come playoffs. Hoping we get @least 3 teams in this year. I'm willing to bet they will open a can of whoop ass on most teams & go far...until we have to play eachother again. I want us to play Jacksonville State just cuz I want to see if they the real deal? I feel if they didn't play Auburn close like they did, well yea they wouldn't be sitting on top as they have a fluffy schedule as well.

JMU scared me when they had Lee, they were just a machine on offense but now not so much since their defensive issues are much more prevalent. W&M could be an interesting match up, they play more like a Valley team with a good defense and running the ball. JSU is another interesting team, they had a nice win at Chatty and should have beat Auburn...I think the OVC is a bit better than usual as well and probably stronger then the Southland. Which brings me to McNeese, defensively they seem stout but offensively they don't see to pose much of a threat. They've played an embarrassing schedule...I think they are one and done unless they get a Big Sky or SLC team in round 1.

How Coastal is ranked above both SDSU and Illinois St in the Coaches and STATS polls just blows my mind.

as always.......its that "southern speed" they always want to factor in.

[JSUBison]

A team nobody is talking about that much in terms of getting a top 4 seed is William and Mary. 7-2 overall, with a 4-0 record against top 25. FBS loss to Virgina by 6 points. 1 point loss @ Delaware. SOS and Sagarin a bit worse than NDSU's right now. However, their next two games are against top 10 Richmond and top 25 Towson. If W&M win those two, they have to be in the mix as well for a top 4 seed.
