Honestly, I still wouldn't want to play them in the playoff, would you? I'd wager they beat the pants off of Furman, Delaware or Villanova right now. A computer ranking doesn't have to consider the politics of including non-MVFC and non-BSC teams among the seeded teams. Five of the top-8 teams in Massey are MVFC, with the other three Big Sky. That sounds about right to me.

I'd still rather play YSU than SIU, but I can't tell you why. It wouldn't surprise me to see SIU beat NDSU this week, but I also expect NDSU to beat UNI the following week - so my assumption is different than Sam's. I'm actually really curious if MizSt has checked out or not yet - they could knock of UNI this week. If that happens, then that group of teams gets bigger.

I honestly wonder if NDSU even makes the playoffs. Currently 3-3 in MVFC play. 3 losses to the Dakotas, who are a combined 15-3 in MVFC play. 3 wins against teams that are a combined 3-15 in MVFC play.
It's hard to say any of their MVFC games have been tight. It doesn't look good for them though that they have to finish with SIU and UNI. Their non-conference wins aren't gleaming to help their resume either.

Their non-conference wins aren't gleaming to help their resume either. If they lose out and finish 6-5, then there would be a case for that. 7-4 gets them in even if it costs a more deserving team their bid. 8-3 with two convincing wins to end the season possibly gets them a seed.

There are 7 MVFC teams with 6+ wins right now, and NDSU has the weakest resume out of the bunch. Going even 1-1 in these last two will likely see them finish 7th in the MVFC. A loss to SIU would be especially crushing. I think NDSU is out of the playoffs if they can't win both games, unless the playoff committee decided to cannibalize a more deserving MVFC team.

Absolutely amazed by MOST beating UNI. I probably shouldn’t be, but I am.

UNI has not been great on the road, but also this conference is such a meat grinder.
