SUU, UM and PSU are in.

EWU and NAU ouch...
UND is killing Cal Poly ... win makes them 7-4. Does it matter?

not as far as the Griz are concerned...but it could get them in

No...3 conference losses

Their 7-4 overall record with wins over PSU and Wyoming will be a strong resume....

If UNI is a viable playoff team, then UND is also....

Normally, on the numbers, I'd totally agree with you. But the Missouri Valley now seems to get the extra love that we all used to think went to the CAA. I'm in the process of putting together my guesses for the 24 spots. It comes down to selecting from among about eight different 7-4 teams. Right now, I'm betting the UNI, with its late-season run, will be the 4th bid from the MVFC.

the UNI team that has only beaten 2 teams with winning records and 1 was EWU

Yep, but after a terrible start, they have now won five straight games. Also, if they do not get UNI in, the "mighty" Missouri Valley would only have three teams in the playoffs. That does not seem very likely, given how much talk there has been about how strong the MVFC is. Also, if you open up that spot, you could end up giving either the Big Sky or the CAA five bids, or three to the SoCon. (None of the other conferences have "extra" teams with records good enough to be considered.) I just do not see that happening.

but if you look at the last 4 teams...not exactly a power lineup....I am not saying that UNI won't get in, but they don't look any better on paper than does UND
