Why bobkittens over the Griz?

[EverettGriz]

We lost to psu. At home. On Homecoming.

We got absolutely embarrassed by davis.

nodak throttled us from the opening minute.

We don't deserve a playoff spot, people. We may end up getting one, but we don't deserve one.

The loss to PSU will be our demise, that signature loss at home against a team that had not won against another fcs opponent in like 16 games is what the committee will use against us. The only saving grace could be what else happens this weekend and with Bobby's return might give some credence. I believe the NCAA does want teams in the playoffs to make competitive match ups, if the Griz could put the smack down on the kitties that would help.
Years ago Mick Dennehy after a loss knowing we were out of the playoffs was laying on the couch watching the selection show and all of sudden boom, we were in, so who know what could happen. Is it likely :roll:

It should be pretty easy to understand, who is MSU's bad losses too? Who is Montana's bad losses too? Montana got run out by a mediocre UND team. Montana got smacked by UCD. Montana got beat by a poor PSU team at HOME! The only good loss we would have had was WIU if they finished strong but they didn't...although might make the playoffs with a win this week. Montana lost 2 favored games and 1 toss up. MSU lost 4 games they were underdogs in.

This isn't rocket science. MSU doesn't have a chance because we are going to win this Saturday so it doesn't matter. However...just a win DOES NOT get us in the playoffs, infact a 1-10 point win only probably gives us a 25-40% chance in my opinion. If we blow out the cats by 20+ then I would say 60% chance to get in. Would not be shocked nor mad if we win by 50 even and don't get in.

With a win, either team will get compared to other bubble teams? Besides the initial win, that is the important comparison. Yes, a big win would help, but will still be compared to other bubble teams. Won't be compared to each other, or to each other's scales. Do lesser teams from lesser conference win on Saturday and get in on the auto-bid, with the better team with in the conference with a better record getting an at-large slot (and eliminatory an open slot for a bubble team like UM/MSU)? Would a 6-5 MV team get in over UM/MSU? I assume WI might get in over the Griz, but not the Cats, and vice versa for NI.

Nothing you don't already know.

I think this should be a factor for the committee. Same record with another coach, and I think we're out. Throw Bobby's return into the mix, and it just might be enough to sway some opinions.

All this excitement to maybe squeak into the playoffs, get a home game against someone like San Diego in the hopes to advance and head to either Fargo or Cheney to get shit canned.

Griz just need to win Saturday and then this discussion is moot.

This. Having the Cats ranked helps the Griz, if the Griz win. SOS correct?

 

[ilovethecats]

I'd re-watch it. That's not close to accurate. Ha.

We were up 17-14 after 2 quarters. Tied 24-24 after 3 quarters. They outscored us by 10 in the fourth. They did outscore us 20-7 from the 2nd on which is still annoying

Would be like me saying the Griz were competitive with UC Davis because were were dominating them at halftime. They blew us out of the water. Cats were outscored 27-7 from that point in the 2nd Q. Do you seriously claim that’s competitive? This isn’t hoops. In football that’s getting blown up.

We were tied going into the 4th quarter. You really don't belive a tie game going into the last quarter is competitive? I'm sorry but that's asinine.

You guys were very competitive against davis for a half. But ya, I'd say you were competitve for 3 quarters as you still led them 21-13 entering the final frame.

guess we'll just agree to disagree. I don't care who the team is, if you're tied going into the 4th and lose by 10 I'd say both teams were in the game.

The Griz were ahead of Davis going into the 4th quarter. Were we "competitive"? Wasn't clear what you were saying?

I'm saying the thought that the cats weren't competitive against weber when we never trailed until the 4th quarter is crazy talk.

Hooked used your davis game as an example. I think you were competitive for 3 quarters. The fact that they scored 36 in the 4th makes it not very competitive in my mind.

We were only down 7 points in the 4th quarter and had the ball before throwing a pick. They kick a field goal with 3 minutes left and beat us by 10. I'm sorry but no one in their right mind can think that being down 7 with a chance to tie the game with less than 5 minutes of the game is not competitive. It's just a crazy comment. Ha

We got absolutely embarrassed by davis.

nodak throttled us from the opening minute.

We don't deserve a playoff spot, people. We may end up getting one, but we don't deserve one.

Do you really think that there are 24 more deserving teams in the FBS than a 7-4 griz team?

Oh if only we were comparing ourselves to other FBS teams for post-season play....

As for what I assume is your question, I rarely think there are 24 fcs teams more deserving than the GRIZ. That doesn't change my opinion that we don't deserve a playoff spot. UM would likely beat, say, the 20th to 24th teams in the playoffs. But those teams earned a spot on the field. UM has not.

I think this is more about a playoff system that has 24 teams when 16 would be sufficient.

If we beat Bozeman State on Saturday, I'll go from six to midnight.

A win of one score of less probably will not secure a bid. However a thorough beat down of 3 or more scores may indeed secure a bid!

Two things are certain. The winner will finish 7-4 in what can arguably be the toughest conference in the country. As of last week the 3-4-5 teams in the AP were Big Sky teams. No other conference can match this, or at least hasn't. It's been this way for some weeks. This week the BSC has two teams in the top 4 and 3 in the top 10.

Secondly, the Committee is saddled with obtaining the best field possible within the rules. Thus, while it may not be specified criteria, the Committee does take into account how teams are playing at the end of the year. With 3 convincing blowouts to finish up the Griz would have to be considered strong candidates for a bid.

Yeah, maybe for the TOILET Bowl.

Yeah, not what I meant, but probably also accurate.
