2019 Semifinals: NDSU v Montana State

[bisonaudit]

Sagarin still has the Grizzlies ranked ahead of the Bobcats, even though we beat them 48-14....and are still playing. Computer rankings can give a general idea where teams are at...but aren’t all that accurate in the end.

See, what's going on there is the computer hasn't forgotten that you lost to UND.

Alpha has trolled up Bobcatnation for years until getting kicked off for Doxxing people. Just giving it back to him a bit, when we get a chance. I think this is the only place he's allowed on the internet now! lol.

Yeah, not a great look for us.

Ive been posting on bobcat nation all season and just posted right now.


Not sure about the kicked off thing but I regularly post here, on MaroonBlood.com, Championshipsubdivision.com and anygivensaturday.com.

You are vastly misinformed but hey keep not talking football

Alphas a legend here. He didnt come to BV guns blazing telling us how the big sky is better. He knew UM would lose to NDSU. I think hes become a bigger bison fan over Grizz fan now because of it....even while wearing maroon and silver to the game.

Neither did I.

Honestly I would expect the Bison to win this game as well. But unlike last year, I do think MSU has a small chance simply because of our improved line play. The MSU defense has been playing really well since the bye week which I'm hoping is enough to keep the game close into the second half, and then the Cats will need to catch a break somewhere to have a chance to pull the upset.

Do you give MSU any chance at all in this game?

And win or lose I'll still be a Bobcat fan, I'm not going to switch fandom like Alpha-something or other.

So?? The Bobcats are clearly better then the Grizzlies (you can't even find a Grizzly fan who disagrees with that), so no matter what the Bobcats should be ranked higher. Unless every single division 1 team plays every other division one team you will never have an accurate computer ratings system...because there isn't an accurate sample without that. I just looked at the Sagarin ratings..they are almost laughable. That's why a lot of folks don't pay attention to them....

One in seven.

Is it Saturday yet? Some of you are going to be wiped out by then.

OK, Harwood?

Apparently, I didn't know what I was talking about. I always thought the bar scene that says "Fargo, ND" during the movie was an actual bar in Grand Forks. Instead, it was a bar in the Twin Cities area.

Even if all teams played all other teams you wouldn't have an "accurate" ratings system, you'd only have a somewhat more accurate system. Anyone who has ever played the transative propery law of sporting results knows this. Variance is a bitch. There's no such thing as an accurate sample. There are small sample and large sample and there are bias samples and not (mostly).
