But I thought the MVFC was such a cupcake conference compared to the BSC.

there is not any nor has there been any objective evidence of that this year.

Mvc is much better football than the big sky, but those "rankings" are an absolute joke. UNI ranked in the upper tier of teams, and they had a total of 0 wins against D1 opponents? Wow.

I know you are making fun of the Big Sky but it is absolutely ridiculous how bad the bottom of that league is. They should have 4 teams that are at least 9-2, mainly because those four teams hardly play each other. I believe EWU and Cal Poly play two of the other top teams, so if either wins out they would be my pick for #1 seed considering EWU have only lost to Wash. St by 4 points and Cal Poly is perfect. NAU plays only Cal Poly and is their only game against a winning team as of right now except for their loss to Arizona St. The Big Sky though has 5 teams with winning records as of right now. As a comparison the SoCon has all but 3 teams with winning records.

The top half of the big sky is much better collective than the top half of the mvc.

I like the fact that Sagarin has us ranked ahead of 7 Big-10 teams.

I like the fact that Sagarin has us ranked ahead of 7 Big-10 teams.

And 6 SEC teams, and ALL Conference USA teams

That depends which week you're talking about.
