Thread: Bracketology 6.0

    My Top 8
    1. James Madison
    2. North Dakota State
    3. Central Arkansas
    4. Jacksonville State
    5. South Dakota State
    6. Sam Houston State
    7. Southern Utah
    8. Wofford
    If South Dakota State falls to South Dakota this Saturday, SDSU is not a seed. In that case, Sam Houston State slides up to 5, Southern Utah slides up to 6, Wofford slides up to 7, South Dakota takes the 8 seed.

    Even the most die hard MVFC homers realize Sagarin's ratings are tilted heavily to our conference. I'm not going to tell you why because personally I don't understand what is all taken into consideration with the computer rankings. The Valley is easily the best conference but computer ranking are not the end all. The best poll or rankings IMO is still the AGS poll done by a bunch of crazy FCS fans.

    I am on the fence with these computer rankings. As my life tends to lean to or more objective nature with work and all which then would mean I would heavily favor computer ranking system.Then you look and see a 5-5 team would be top 10 and you kinda cringe a little bit.

    Ya the AGS poll seems to do a good job of mixing the subjective and objective nature of humans into a meaningful way. Speaks a lot to the diverse group of peeps that make up that poll. I have been trying to log in over there for a few months but seems i forgot my password and I am too lazy to reset it

    What do you think JSU’s record would be if they played in the MVFC?

    .500, maybe

    I'd give JMU a loss or two.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I think it would be fair to say they would be someone around WIU and USD records (+/- a win) so somewhere between 6-4 and 8-2. Playoff team with a chance of a seed. One thing to consider with them is how well there stadium would play a factor as i have TV watched some games there and they seem to have a dang good crowd.

    According to computer they would only been underdogs really in two games (v NDSU, SDSU), coin flips depending on home team (WIU, UNI, USD, YSU ISUr) and big favorites against other 3 (SIU, MSU, ISUb).
