Week 10 Polls

Bottom line, if you have McNeese at 2, you should have Harvard at #1

I was surprised to see Kolpack put McNeese at #2. Dom got it right, at least.

We win out and minimum #2 seed after this last weekend. Thank you SDSU Jackrabbits. Meat and Cheese platter is on the way.

Be prepared to be disappointed then. If McNeese wins out, I'd be willing to bet they'll be seeded higher than everyone except probably Jax St. Whether they SHOULD be or not is another question, but history suggests they will be.

Right? Or right? See above. Regardless of strength of schedule, the playoff committee has favored undefeated teams from a "decent" conference in the past.

Then why aren't they #1? Like I said, if record is important Harvard or Dayton should be #1

It's that southcoast bias.

It's worse than that. Harvard @ #1 is less of a miss than McNeese @ #2.

It won't matter if McNeese gets the #2 seed instead of us. They would lose in the quarters to possibly another MVFC team if they even make it that far. if NDSU can take care of their business in the early rounds of the playoffs, the semifinal game will be in Fargo either way.

If we stub our toe this weekend, all bets are off.

Rankings in various polls and playoff committee seeds are casually correlated at best. While they do look at strength of schedule, the metrics that they use to determine strength of schedule may not be as robust as we'd like them to be. And to be fair, with an 11 or 12 game season, it is a hard statistic to peg with any skill.

It's not any harder than ranking the teams. Of course they're not very good at that either. But what should we expect from a group of people who feel like they have to pretend (even to themselves) that they're not considering certain things while they are actually considering them.

Amen, brother audit!

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