No

Now I I have to ask… is it NO… or “NO”?

 

[Montanabob]

No

yes.... it does.

I doesn't.

This is spot on. The ranking of UM and MSU doesn't really matter at this point. The more concerning part is where they have Tarleton in comparison to both. If I was a Griz fan, that would be of greater concern as it could block a home semifinal, if they keep Tarleton ahead of them even if the Griz win out.

Watched Tarleton vs Utah Tech. UT is really bad on defense but Tarleton was using a back up qb as a a 3rd string RB and was down a couple other starters on offense as well but completely dominated. They look like a pretty decent team.

Not sure that’s a good indicator of their teams strength. At least you took the time to watch them. I have not. I looked at SUU’s schedule, who Tarelton barely beat. The same team that lost to NAU and that is 1-5. Tarleton beat SUU at home by 10. SUU beat Idaho State the first game of the year by 22 and lost to UC Davis by 16. Doesn’t tell us much and Tarelton’s narrow win over SUU might have been due to injuries as well. Difficult to try and gauge how good they really are. SUU is definitely not world beaters, yet Tarelton got it done and has an unblemished record.

The commentary is interesting as well. Saying the Griz have an easy schedule, etc. Who do they think MSU and Tarleton are playing? Outside of the MVC, who has a tough schedule? Oh yeah, the Griz are 2-0 vs MVC. Cats are what? Tarleton shouldn’t even be in the top 5.

They can’t defend that. The Griz and Jacks are the only teams who have beat a top 10 team. The only two good teams the cats have played they lost.

They are counting a close road win for the Griz against us somehow.

If they want to say “hey we just THINK the cats and Tarleton LOOK better” then fine. But by actual measurables the ranking is not justifiable.
