"Final"? We have one more week yet to play!
Makes sense - final rankings this week because next week, they are announcing the playoff field.

Maybe they will continue the slow process of correcting themselves, I'm not holding my breath.

Replace YSU with UNI and it's even tougher. Thing is, we aren't that dominate this year (or at least hadn't been) and I think many playoff teams could take us to the wire. If you put us on the other side I think SHSU, JSU, JMU etc. could also take us to the wire. NDSU just needs to take care of business regardless of the bracket opponents. If there are teams more likely to beat us I would much rather face them in the playoffs than the championship game. Just get them out of the way, and if we can't then we don't belong in Frisco anyways.
