2010 Schedule

Re: 2010 Schedule

Remember the field adds 4 next year correct? A solid 7-4 season may get the nod if we are third in the conference.

Even with the extra spots I don't think 7-4 with losses to UNI, SIU, and lone non-conference game gets us in. Not sure that would be looked at as a solid 7-4. Maybe if we have a win over the Huskers and a fourth loss to someone else.

Yes- up to 20 We will need some key road wins but we have some excellent talent returning with experience. Anytime there is good defense there is always a good chance. I like our chances.

If you want to get banned, smack in non-smack sections is an excellent way to do it.

Re: 2010 Schedule

From the media guide:

9/11 @ Delaware
9/18 Illinois St
9/25 @ Nebraska
10/2 @ UNI
10/9 Western Illinois
10/16 @ Southern Illinois
10/23 Youngstown
10/30 @ Indiana St
11/6 Missouri St
11/13 @ NDSU

Four of the first six are very tough road games. The home games are conference games so they won't be easy. It could easily be a 2-4 team with a 2-2 conference record heading into Hobo Day. No conference championship and likely no playoff at-large bid. If we could pick up a road conference win, 3-3 with a 3-1 conference record would be huge in getting a shot at the conference championship and back to the playoffs.

It may be a lingering Meltdown hangover, but with this road schedule I don't see an at-large playoff bid. I expect Nebraska to be a loss, and I think it would be unreasonable to expect a sweep of UNI & SIU on the road, Delaware is a long road trip to open the season. NDSU on the road will not be a cakewalk, but I think we should be able to pull it out. A win at Indiana St puts the road record 3-3 for the season, sweep our home games and it is 7-3 and most likely no better than 3rd in conference. If we don't split with UNI & SIU, there is no way we get an at-large bid even if we knock off Delaware as we would finish too far down in the conference.

So, we could easily have a team finish 6-4 and out of the playoffs and still be a better team than the one that made it too the playoffs this year. It is a brutal schedule, and if that happens, I hope we don't have people calling for coaching changes (expect we will).

Ain't it cool to be thinking playoff possibilities 11 months from now in FOOTBALL!!!!!!

Re: 2010 Schedule

...though they've slipped a bit lately, Delaware is traditionally an FCS powerhouse. Our road schedule next year is brutal.

Saw they were 6-5 this past fall with losses to navy and to villanova. This will be one of the toughest schedules SDSU has ever had in my opinion.

Is Delaware a FCS school?

Re: 2010 Schedule

We will be playing another game but it hasn't been decided yet. It will most likely be against a poor team since we already have a tough schedule. That's why people were speculating that we would play USD this year but adding a hyped up rivalry game to that schedule would be tough on the team.

Re: 2010 Schedule

I figured we would be going to NDSU next fall?

My mistake, the game is @ NDSU. I'll edit my previous post.
