2021 Sagarin Says

[The_Sicatoka]

Mo. St. committed 6 turnovers.

I wondered what happened there. That explains everything.

Mo. St. committed 6 turnovers. UNI was a road dog. The MVFC is still far and away the best conference in the subdivision.

Turnovers are a part of the game... UNI had 3 of them too. Good teams take care of the ball and good teams take the ball away. Both UNI and Missouri St underperformed so hopefully that's just a blip but if SDSU goes into a similar shell this weekend we'll only have one MVFC team left by the quarterfinals which would be the fewest since 2013 in a year where the MVFC had more playoff teams than ever.

Missouri St looked like a team of FBS transfers who were entitled to win that game and it showed......your post is solid......what a shame with all that talent; I thought they'd win two games.

Cal Davis's fate was sealed early in the 3rd qt. when the 3rd of 5 interceptions was returned for a touchdown.

One play stood out to me. On an interception over the middle the Missouri St WR sort of ducked and curl up to avoid the defensive player that came across, reached out and snagged the ball. That was the ultimate "not my job". Not sure he would have been able to break up the pass and stop the interception but he didn't even try.

I must admit, I am somewhat surprised that Sam Houston is given a 69% chance of beating Montana State. The other percentages seem about right for the quarter finals.

The Cats are down to another "Travis Anderson" type QB. Great runner, passer...not so much.

Nice........

[BigHorns]

Not completely sold on shsu over msu or jmu over montana. 30% odds are still pretty good for the "underdogs" there i guess.

If Sagarin is right, its the Bison v SDSU for the title this year.
