Don’t count is the wrong wording but it doesn’t matter. My point is Ferris is not as good as many UM fans want them to be. I’d put them on par with NAU. At that point the Griz were playing to those teams level. They’ve righted the ship. UM fans should quit acting like that was a good win. It was a win against a decent D2 team that would be mid tier BSC. And anyone with a brain knows that a D2 win at home in WA Griz will never be weighted as heavily as if they’d have played a mid tier FCS team. No matter how much you try to convince us.Grizfan7 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 9:44 pmI'm not sure what you know and don't know, from what you have said above. D2 wins count in overall schedule. There's not a "benchmark" of 7 D1 wins. Only getting 6 D1 wins "may" place a team in jeopardy from being selected. The number of D1 wins "may" be considered. You seemed to say that D2 wins don't count. That statement is wrong.LTown Cat wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 9:17 pmYeah, yeah, yeah…I know the committee discusses them but it’s still a benchmark to get to 7 D1 wins. If the Griz played Ferris now they’d roll them. UM wasn’t playing well early. Ferris is not as tough as a lot of UM fans want them to be. They would not be top tier in the BSC.Grizfan7 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 9:02 pmWhat wins don't count?LTown Cat wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 8:59 pmFerris would be 5th at best in the BSC. Theyre a good D2 but that’s why those wins don’t count. UM, MSU, Idaho, and Sac would all beat them. I bet they’d stumble at least once to another team too.Grizfan7 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 8:02 pmYes, the Ferris team that is the two-time defending D2 champion and lost only 1 game this season other than to UM.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:14 pmThe same Ferris State that isn’t even a seeded team in the D2 playoffs?Grizfan7 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 12:42 pmHerder/Hero says the SOS's will be Cats-5, Idaho-9, SS-21, and UM 31. Furman - 61. SDS is 17 (probably because they can't play themselves).
I don't know where Herder/Hero is getting its SOS. The SOS's vary by source. I'm guessing Herder's SOS is discounting Ferris for UM.

PS…I really don’t care if you know what I do or don’t know. You seem obsessed with trying to convince Cat fans of how good UM is. They might be. We’ll find out Saturday. I’d advise you to chill and quit worrying about it so much.
