    If only 3 MVFC get in, that isn’t bloated.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Not the final score, but even thebigund on SS said they were schooled and had garbage scores at the end..
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Yes, that JSU win is better than anything UIW has but after that the best record owned by a team that SEMO beat (not counting non-scholly Dayton) is 4-6 Austin Peay.
    The problem I have debating SEMO is that they aren't even my last team in. That honor belongs to UND, I could flip Furman for them. I just don't see UIW over SEMO, UIW kind of did this to themselves by cancelling a scheduled game to get paid.

    This process is a joke. Conversations about Incarnate Word and SEMO? They’re going to pass on half a dozen MVFC teams that are better.

    The losses to mediocre Big Sky teams are coming home to roost for the MVFC right now.

    In my view allowing anyone not at least co-champ of their conference is bloated. Maybe a few rare exceptions, but the purpose of playoffs is to find the best team, not be a participation trophy for a decent season.

    If they’d have shit kicked some Patriot League team would that really have helped, or would we just hear about weak nonconference schedule instead?

    Yeah, that works. All conferences are equal.

    I don't know, that loss to Montana was just an example of what we have seen except for one game out of UNI...they are a mediocre football team.
