FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[smedindy]

I'm a huge NDSU fan and I looked at the Massey ratings and didn't find the Bison. I found UND (North Dakota). Any reason for this??

The beautiful thing about FCS football, not unlike D3, is the nonsense of a poll. Sure it feels good to be ranked as a team but when there is a playoff for a national champion, they seem to not matter in the postseason. That being said, NDSU may be ranked highly but next year when they join the MAC conference (undisputedly better than GWC) they will have tougher competition. But Craig Bohl is the man.

Hey oles... we're coming up friday night to visit ole and lina. Any of you interested in a little pre-game festivities??? Just ask the jonnies... we're a fun group of classy guys!

I just clicked on the FCS tab of Massey. They are right there - 4th in the ranking that really counts (MOV). Sorry for the tabs, etc.

Losing to Augsburg and Cornell won't help the ratings much, this is true.    However, there's enough parity that the #142 team was beating the #1 team in the fourth quarter.

I don't know that Plymouth State has ever played Mount Union.

I was using the original link, with St. Johns at 1 and Carleton at 142.  The great part is rankings mean nothing in the game.

But the Massey ratings, at least, with the MOV, can be used somewhat to compare teams across conferences, etc.

yeah, maybe smed, but the past couple of weeks I've been thinking MOV is overrated ...

We must keep the MOV on the QT for the VIP, ASAP.

I just spent 300 on that?  Should smite myself (but I'm sure you all will help...  I'm looking forward to it).

Ritz 72 how is the family?still in Brainerd area?  My parents still talk of how they enjoyed sitting at the games with your folks way back when we were athletes! My little brother is wrapping up his senior year as captain of his high school football team....I threw that in to help age you a bit!

Blue Devil Bob...way to pull the trigger on the big mansion on the lake...Nice!  Christmas is coming up...I will have to come up with an SJU housewarming gift.  Don't forget to frame last year's version and put it on the big wall in the Great Room the overlooks the lake!  

SJU56321..how is life man?  Long time no connection!  I have been out of the loop for a while...haven't even been up to Collegeville yet this fall!  Hopefully for the UST game!  

Well, time for bed...ready to turn the page on year 34 and wake up a fresh 35 year old in the morning!  Happy Birthday to me!!

Hope everyone is well!

Wow, sweet to think I've been paid for four days of work to read about D3sports.

Seems like all this talk of tracking "logged in time" is keeping people quiet today.

I'm here.  Have been since 6:00.  Nothing to report, though.

Happy Birthday SamWill, and welcome back!
