Thats true/fair. Guess some part of me hopes this team is improving, its kind of hard to say yet.
We did beat WIU by a bigger margin than last year, and ended up in Frisco ... so not impossible.
If we lose 2 more games, we're probably a bubble playoff team and won't be seeded. But who else would either at 7-4?
Think we'll still get a fair shake when the committee actually sits down and evaluates each team in detail.
These early previews have never been the final result, and feel a bit stupid and worthless. Its a marketing gimick.

Lotta resentment/hatred of the Bison dynasty out there. I'm not expecting a fair shake. Whatever we get in the next few years will have to be earned.

News flash: the selection committee continues to suck at selecting the best teams.

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
9-2 is where we sit if we win out. That's a mid seed.
8-3 seems pretty likely. That's a seed if some back room bargaining occurs.
7-4 is a definite possibility. In that scenario we buy a home game and maybe we win, then we get funneled through Missoula, Bozeman, or Brookings in the second round.
This is not going to be a fun playoff season.
At the end of the day, these rankings really mean nothing.
USD still has to play SDSU, UND, and SIU
SDSU still has to play USD and NDSU
Mont St still has Idaho and Mont
Mont still has Mont St and Sac St
Idaho still has Mont St
Sac St still has to play Montana.
So there are going to be a ton of adjustments.
This is not 'Nam. This is Bisonville. There are rules here.
Yep, and our fate is still in our own hands.
Anything still possible, even a championship.
Win, and we can be a seed. Probably not top 2, but top 4 is possible.
Lose more games, then we don't deserve it this year.
All comes down to the coaches, players, and how they perform.
