    I'm not sure what that proves, other than its a tough league.
    What it proves is the east coast bias and BS conference influence have cost many really good MVFC teams playoff appearances. If that happens again this year I might just...........it really irks me that the MVFC does not get the respect it deserves. 4 playoff teams is a must and 5 should be in play this year, maybe even 6.

      For that to happen there would probably need to be a very complex round robin of each of those teams losing 2 or 3 games each. Anyone worked that out on paper?

        The only conference game has WIU at SIU. The Leathernecks lead 14-7 early in 2nd quarter. UNI was pounding Tenn Tech and Indiana St was handling Liberty in OOC play.

          Illinois St completes the sweep of OOC games for the MVFC. It is 48-6 over Austin Peay(OVC) in the 3rd quarter. SIU will be the 1-0 team as they have 17 point lead with 4 minutes to play. It will be great to have the rest of the teams active next week.

            Almost a sweep of OOC FCS games for the MVFC. USD messed that up by losing to Montana.

              **Peering in Crystal Ball*** All MVFC teams with 8 wins, and no more that 3 conference losses will be in the play-offs.

                Indiana has had more impressive non conference wins then us and just made it on the media top 25. Amazing how much last year matters in the polls.

                  Yes, tough for media and coaches to toss out perception based on last year results. Over in the AGS fans poll ISU(b) is into the teens. Great severe test for ISU(b) with UNI coming in Sat.

                    To max out MVFC spots, WIU/USD need to absorb most of the MVFC losses and end up 0-8 & 1-7 in conference play. If every body else ends up 5-3 should maximize play-off spots. It will be interesting to see now that 8 MVFC teams are in the top 25 how much anybody changes if say IL St loses to SDSU, but beats NDSU (example)

                      The media poll is a complete crock of ****.

                      In addition to the poll itself being a travesty, look at the others receiving votes. It makes no damn sense at all. How, at this point, does Tennessee Tech have any votes? They are 1-3 and have been completely blown out by two MVFC teams.

                      I can't even stand to look at that abomination anymore. It makes me want to scream.

                      The Coaches Poll is just as bad. ISU-B not even ranked, but NAU, who lost to USD, is? Charleston Southern?

                      My God, sometimes, I wish we were closer to the east coast so we could pick up some of these easy wins that the CAA gets with the likes of the NEC, MEAC, and Big South.

                        The conference basically screwed itself by adding USD. Not playing a round robin really hurts us for multiple bids because not everybody gets to play the worst schools.

                        Assuming USD and WIU actually are the worst teams in the league, MSU and ISU-b are at a disadvantage because they don't play both schools. ISU-r, Youngstown, and SIU have an inside track because they don't play NDSU, UNI, and SDSU.

                        No point complaining, it is what it is.

                          The record numbers for bids from a conference are 5 from CAA in 2011 and 4 from the Big Sky last year.

                          Neither conference played a round robin.

                            Yep the secret to more bids is to actually be a bigger conference with several really bad schools at the bottom to fatten up on.

                              You are correct. However, those conferences are large enough that every few seasons a less than playoff caliber team hits the lotto and plays a couple of bad schools and doesn't play the top tier at all. A non-round robin schedule would actually be advantageous if the MVFC would expand to 12 schools.

                                Exactly.
