    Default Playoff Projections

    I'm sick of FBS talk... so here's something new.

    Stan Becton, of NCAA.com, projects the FCS playoff field: https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/a...ms-seeds-picks

    Question: How long would Bisonville be down if his projected final regular season records are correct and this actually happens when they release the bracket on Selection Sunday?


    Stan's going to get some clicks on this one... which might've been his ulterior motive all along.

    Wow, is that a crock of shit.

    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

    This is exactly what I am afraid of with the committee not releasing top 10 before end of season.

    What are the tie breakers for conference championships? He has SIU the AQ out of the MVFC with a projected record of 10-1 and NDSU an at-large with a projected record of 11-0. Assuming SIUs loss was out of conference and them not playing NDSU what would be the subsequent tie-breakers that would award SIU the AQ? Not that it would matter, just curious.

    Pretty sure it would go down to Sagarin ratings. IIRC that's what it came down to for ISUr and NDSU in 2014 when both finished 7-1, didn't play each other, and lost to the same team (UNI). So, if that's the case, it's pretty unlikely SIU gets the autobid with NDSU having a 7 point advantage in the Sagarin ratings now and, if this prediction holds true, would get a hefty bump from beating SDSU on the road.

    Yeah I don't get that either. Must be some wonky tie breaker.

    Seems completely realistic to me if we can't run the table.

    Here was the Spring Season MVFC tiebreaker, which I believe has been consistent for a few years now

    Two Teams Tied

    1. In the event of a two-team tie in the conference results and the two teams played each other, the winner of the game shall be declared the NCAA automatic qualifier.

    2. If the tied teams did not play each other, then each team’s record against all common conference opponents shall be used to determine the NCAA automatic qualifier.

    3. If the teams are still tied, then each team’s record against the next highest common opponent in the conference standings shall be used to determine the NCAA automatic qualifier.

    4. If the teams are still tied, the latest available Sagarin Rating shall be used as the final tiebreaker. Rating will only be used as a ranking system or tiebreaker in the event all teams under consideration have played a minimum of 8 total (non-conference plus conference) games. In the event only a partial schedule is played and Sagarin cannot be utilized, the Conference will utilize the Media (STATS) Top 25 poll to break the tie.

    Based off that, assuming SIU and NDSU have no losses in league play, it would come down to Sag, which NDSU would win?

    Yeah there's no way in hell NDSU is a 5th seed with an 11-0 record. This guy is a clown.
