Re: For those who like polls:

We need to root for NDSU and UNI (making our losses look better), which I don't think either of them will have a problem winning out... good for SDSU. We also need to root against Montana and USD (making NDSU's losses look worse)... If both of those teams lose out, which is possible with their remaining schedules, it's feasible to put SDSU ahead of both NDSU and ISUr. Not saying it should or will happen, just saying that those scenarios make it a feasible possibility. Honestly, if the committee takes equally into account who teams both lost to and beat, I can see SDSU being the top seed of the three. If they take losses into account losses more than wins, ISUr gets the top seed (because their only losses are to Iowa and us), if they take into account wins more than losses, NDSU gets the top seed (because they beat us).

The biggest games that matter as far as our placement go are our FBS win, and our UNI loss. One could vault us to the top of the MVFC teams in terms of seeding, the other could weigh us down to the bottom. We just might end up in the middle.

From a different perspective, NDSU doesn't really have anything that impressive on their resume other than beating us... ISUr doesn't have anything that impressive on their resume other than only having 1 FCS loss instead of 2 like SDSU and NDSU... our resume looks good due to beating Kansas and ISUr... the more I think about it (and ramble on about it), the more I talk myself into SDSU getting seeder higher than those two.

I don't think it's a lock that NDSU wins at Youngstown State. Likely, but if they can lose at home to USD anything is possible. For the first time in my life I will be rooting for a Bo Pelini coached team. If that would happen and the Jacks win out, we should be the highest seeded Valley team which would be huge.

So are you thinking that if NDSU wins out, they'll be the highest seeded team? What about ISUr? Just curious, it's good banter and a very interesting topic.

Very true. If you are capable of losing to USD in the Fargo Dome, you certainly could stumble against YSU or someone in the playoffs. I expect an NDSU win this week, but I would not bet a big pile of cash on it.

I also think ISU-R will have their hands full in Vermillion. They have not exactly been blowing the mid-level MVFC teams out this year.

I think if all three teams win out,the seeding order will be NDSU,SDSU,ISU-r.

Travel to Normal? Sounds like something from the early '70s. [I think that was the name of the flip side of the 45 "Journey to the Center of Your Mind" by the Amboy Dukes (Ted Nugent's band).

Some will ask: What's a 45?

Re: For those who like polls:

It will be very interesting to see how selection committee seed these three. Let's assume all win out finish 9-2.
Further, let's define quality wins as beating someone also in FCS playoffs or an fbs (bonus if a P5 conference team) and a bad loss as losing to someone not in playoff. Let's also assume SUU wins out to score BSc auto-bid, and that UND loses again so don't make playoffs. Uni also makes playoffs.

SDSU - quality wins KU, ISUR, SUU, no bad losses.
Isur - quality wins, Uni, no bad losses.
NDSU - quality wins, SDSU, uni, bad losses, usd, Montana

Using this rational for seeding,
SDSU best seed, ISUR, next, ndsu last of three.

Note that this ignores ndsu is mvfc auto-bid winner and sdsu finishes a game behind isur & ndsu.

Is this some kind of new fangled common core math problem?

I think it was also #2 on track 3 of the 8 track cassette version.

New poll today

http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/football/fcs

SDSU 10
Others of note
NDSU 4
Fighting Who 12
YSU 14
CAL POLY 17
Used 25

http://www.compughterratings.com/FCS/rankings

Seems more accurate. But I think I probably would say between the two a bit might be where things really are.

I want you on my trivia team.
I think kids today would hear 45 and think .45 as in .45 ACP

Not a team poll, but STATS put out a list of their Freshman of the Year nominees. Rozeboom looks like a very solid candidate.
