Top 2 path

[Prodigal Cat]

I see our path to the 2 seed as SDSU losing the marker and losing their last regular season game @ UND. Tarleton slipping up and dropping a game or two? to either West Georgia, @ ACU (best chance) or Austin Peay (2nd best chance). Cats will win the brawl decisively….that happens I see us seeded #2. Of course, this scenario has NDSU and us winning out.

99% chance the Cats jump Tarleton with a win against Davis and at Missoula. Its not even very close.

The Cats aren't jumping a undefeated Tarleton... It won't happen.

If they beat Davis and an undefeated UM?

Absolutely they will, and should.

Tarleton has a couple ranked games left on their schedule also. ACU is a top 15 team and the Peay at the end. Hardly a sure thing Cats jump them when the committee is already putting them there.

I think the committee would value a team beating #4 and #6 (in current STATs poll) enough to move that team up one spot over a team that beat #13 and #23.

Tarleton will have an FBS win and 3 top 25 wins (currently ranked) with ACU, West Georgia(ranked on AGS) and Austin Peay and a good win over a likey 7-5 E.Kentucky. Their resume is better.

Tarleton doesn't have a win better than at NAU and they are still seeded above the Cats. All of sudden that changes?

Belligerent is correct. Just look at the history. Much to the chagrin of PlayerRep, the committee can and will use the eye test for seeding. Not sure if anyone has actually watched Tarelton, but if they continue to play as sloppy as they have the last few weeks and the Cats keep stacking wins in dominating fashion, the committee may decide to make the swap. To say it would "never happen" is ridiculous.

Yes, it all the sudden changes when we build a stronger resume than them by beating 2 top 10 teams. It's not that hard to understand.

Tarletons SOS will actually improve in the back half of the season. Cats SOS will regress. Tarleton is 38, Cats are 2 right now and they still put UTT above the Cats. Your right it isn't that hard to understand. For some reason Cat fans are deluded that no other conferences matter. UAC has some good teams and the ranking release yesterday proved the committee thinks so and proves your incorrect.

This. I don't think the Cats winning out gaurantees that they will jump Tarleton, but its a pretty good chance.

Right now the Cats SOS is as high as it is because we played Oregon.

At the end of the year, if the Cats have 2 losses, one to Oregon, and one in OT to a top 3 team, with victories over what will likely be a top 10 UC Davis, and a victory on the road over what should be a top 5 Montana team, that ABSOLUTELY is a better schedule than Tarleton. Currently MSU doesn't have a really great win. If they win out, they'll have multiple really great wins including one on the road. The resume matters, and if MSU wins out, they easily have a better resume than Tarleton.

My point is that it’s not by much. The Cats going from 2 to 3 in SOS, while is technically regressing I suppose, is inconsequential. It’s one of the hardest schedules out there.

Tarleton does move up a bit, but again moving up 8 spots doesn’t move the needle a ton.

It seems like you were implying that they’d be fairly close by the end of the season. One is still head and shoulders above the other in difficulty.

No they won't. they can get 12 D1 wins, Cats can only get 10, number of ranked wins won't be a huge disparity. The main difference is SOS and the committee put them above the Cats yesterday and the SOS gets better for UTT.
Army currently on SP+ would be the 4th ranked FCS team. That win for Tarleton @ Army is probably the second best win currently in all of FCS. Its funny because if you look at the resumes, the FBS win, a few ranked wins, being undefeated, a bunch of blowouts versus some bad to mediocre teams, Tarleton vs MSU of 2024 are almost lock step... Identical... Pretty sure no one here was thinking an undefeated MSU was gonna get leapt by a different team with more losses but a tougher SOS last year.
You guys are thinking like MSU (or griz) fans, not like an impartial committee, certain that your wins are better. Posting like people who haven't watched a lick of Tarleton football. They are pretty banged up right now. They are without their QB Gabalis for who knows how long and still they have been winning albeit not as convincing as they were in Sept. Hopefully they drop one but the committee has already put them in the 3 spot. I'm fairly certain its theirs or they move up a spot unless they screw it up.

What we don't know is how big the gap is. My hunch is 3,4, 5 are very close. Cats can put 2 top 10 wins on resume between now and end of season. Tarleton can't. You think there is no chance that sways a few members. Prior years team that replaces as many stars as Cats did, lose 2 OT to top 3 seed, a powerhouse FBS then roll rest of season will get some benefit that Tarleton won't.

Ultimately this why its kinda impossible to say. At the end of it we are guessing what the opinions of some suits(or at least stylish qtr zips) are at a hotel ballroom. Will they value being undefeated? Will they value top 25 wins? Top 10? SOS? They have given us some of their guidelines but ultimately they all vote and the vote decides. They have Lehigh, Monmouth and Tennessee tech in their top 10 with absolutely terrible SOS's tells me this years committee values winning games (being undefeated) more than the quality of those wins. That's part of why I think UTT is in the top and won't get jumped.

The way it is currently doesn’t have MSU with multiple top 10 wins.

And without Tarleton's 2 ranked wins they can still get.

What we don't know is how big the gap is. My hunch is 3,4, 5 are very close. Cats can put 2 top 10 wins on resume between now and end of season. Tarleton can't. You think there is no chance that sways a few members. Prior years team that replaces as many stars as Cats did, lose 2 OT to top 3 seed, a powerhouse FBS then roll rest of season will get some benefit that Tarleton won't.

Ultimately this why its kinda impossible to say. At the end of it we are guessing what the opinions of some suits(or at least stylish qtr zips) are at a hotel ballroom. Will they value being undefeated? Will they value top 25 wins? Top 10? SOS? They have given us some of their guidelines but ultimately they all vote and the vote decides. They have Lehigh, Monmouth and Tennessee tech in their top 10 with absolutely terrible SOS's tells me this years committee values winning games (being undefeated) more than the quality of those wins. That's part of why I think UTT is in the top and won't get jumped.

And yet us being ahead of UM refutes your supposition.

Tarletons SOS will actually improve in the back half of the season. Cats SOS will regress. Tarleton is 38, Cats are 2 right now and they still put UTT above the Cats. You’re right it isn't that hard to understand. For some reason Cat fans are deluded that no other conferences matter. UAC has some good teams and the ranking release yesterday proved the committee thinks so and proves your incorrect.

Per Massey, the Cats SOS goes from 2 right now all the way back to 3 by the end of the season.

Tarleton’s goes from 37 up to 29.

And??????? Thanks for reiterating what I said is correct?

My point is that it’s not by much. The Cats going from 2 to 3 in SOS, while is technically regressing I suppose, is inconsequential. It’s one of the hardest schedules out there.

Tarleton does move up a bit, but again moving up 8 spots doesn’t move the needle a ton.

It seems like you were implying that they’d be fairly close by the end of the season. One is still head and shoulders above the other in difficulty.

You mean the way it is currently and they still put UTT above the Cats?

No. UM with only 5 D1 wins, SOS in the 40's while barely winning against 2-5 teams yet still being top 5 proves my supposition.
