Could the Griz get left out of the playoffs?

[tnt]

To be clear because apparently I need to spell it out. We face app state who is arguably just as good as southern Alabama and we faced ok panhandle and suu faced a cupcake in fort Lewis. Let's not be stupid and say we have a cupcake schedule and no one else does because we faced 1 cupcake.

3-8 App State is not on par with Southern Alabama. You may well be the ONLY person calling that a quality win.

Griz OOC schedule ended up not being that good.

Have you seen southern Alabama...? Or do you even know anything about them? Because let's be real here. The barrier between fcs and fbs isn't that large anymore and southern Alabama is a god awful fbs team

Neither is suu's is my point. Just because they got blown out by wash state doesn't make them better. All other ooc games are comparable.

And ASU is a god awful FCS team. No matter how bad South Alabama is, SUU still gets the credit for beating a FBS school, that does have (3) FBS victories.

Eriul, if SUU beats NAU this week, they will have (3) wins (NAU, MSU, So Alabama) that will be better than any for UM if they lose to the Cats.

They would be (2-1) against NAU, EWU, and MSU when the Griz would be (0-3) against the same teams.

I am not saying that the Griz are not going to be in the playoffs, but in this scenario, SUU has a better resume than the Griz would.

SUU had an easier schedule because they didn't have to play us.

 

[big kahuna]

Simple really.
Griz are in. No way they get left out, even with a loss to MSU.
Cats need a win and perhaps a SUU loss to get in. SUU gets a berth with a win over NAU.

Maybe UM had an easier schedule because they did not play SUU... :?:

And you forgot uc Davis who blew them out and we blew uc Davis out. You're nitpicking your games and stats all thread. It's also been pointed out in other threads that their conference schedule isn't as difficult as ours. They might barely get the nod over us but it's all figuratively and it's not as clear cut as you make it out to be.

Was a comparison to other possible playoff teams within the scenario...UC Davis is not a playoff team. Also, it seems that SUU had much more success against the top teams, do you really want to argue about which bottom feeders each did or did not play? And for the record, the only difference is SUU did not play Cal Poly or UND and the Griz did not play ISU or UNC. There are more common games than not.

You're reaffirming my point in the fact that you're nitpicking. Sure they had a better record against higher teams. They also have a worse record against worse teams and the comparable records of teams we both faced is comparable and an argument can be made for both sides .

Griz are in simple as that. For once on this board this is the first time that our stadium, past playoff appearances, and our 25K crazy fans really make the difference. The Griz make money so if they snub 2 other deserving teams (SUU and NAU) or have to take 5 to get the Griz in the selection committee will. Will they take 5 to get SUU in? NO but they will for Montana. That said we are not loosing to MOO U and with that win the Griz take a seed and first round bye.

 

[Eriul]

Fact is it doesn't matter because in that scenario 5 big so teams would get in.

There is help available for those of you who are anxiety-stricken about the playoffs.

The point is, the wins by SUU over MSU, NAU, and So Alabama, in the discussed scenario, would carry much more weight than a loss to Davis. The WINS over these teams would make SUU's strength of victory better than that of the Griz. That is the point people have been trying to make, but you have been to ignorant to follow along.

I find it hypocritical for you to be preaching ignorance when you choose to ignore facts. I have openly state I understand the wins but that doesn't discount losses and the rest of the season. Practice before you preach

You don't get it, and that is OK. If/When the Griz win, then this scenario does not matter anyway.

Haha I get it. But by your logic Stanford should get into the rose bowl because they beat Oregon. Losses count just as much as wins ;-)

You are comparing apple-to-oranges if you compare Stanford-Oregon to the UM-SUU scenario being discussed. Like I said, you just don't quite get it.
