Exactly. Stupid lopsided uneven BS conference. Two teams could be very evenly matched, and one has a HUGE advantage over the other in terms of BS title hopes, due to scheduling.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 12:39 pmMSU could lose more games than all those teams but still be ranked higher because of the strength of schedule. I don't know if these voters think MSU will win the conference, but a higher ranking nationally doesn't mean a better place in the conference standings.

MSU could go 8-3 (6-2) and still get a Top 8 seed. They just can’t have any losses to non-playoff teams and the FCS committee has been good over the last 10 years of looking closely at SOS.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 12:39 pmMSU could lose more games than all those teams but still be ranked higher because of the strength of schedule.

Win every home game and one of Wyoming/EWU/Weber/Montana on the road and that should be enough.

Re: Off season random *^%$
Some of them have them Montana schools flipped. But what sucks is how far down the rest of the BSC is....
Wondering who else may drop to D2., Or DIII!
U of Harford going from DI to DIII.

And the scholarship students have filed legal proceedings to stop it.

Not football related, but what a cool opportunity for a MSU student who may want to go into bball coaching.

Re: Off season random *^%$
Have you been reading them? Player A will get playing time if he gets stronger. Player B will get playing time if he gets healthy.etc..etc. They just seem a little more honest from years past.

Re: Off season random *^%$
Oh, gotchya... maybe that's Vigen's style. I only read a couple of them but thanks for the reminder! I'll go see if I can find the archived ones on the website. I was thinking people posted those here in years' past... I don't go to a lot of other websites on a regular basis.
Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Re: Off season random *^%$
Thank you! I have no idea how you found that, but I've been looking for this for way too long! Couldn't find these daily updates on BN, or Twitter, and I was finding just the last few on MSUBobcats.com... but wasn't finding this archive link. Thanks again.Rich K wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 5:25 pmHere's a link that'll help finding the "Bobcats By the Numbers" stories:catatac wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 5:21 pmOh, gotchya... maybe that's Vigen's style.

Was looking for Ifanse highlights on YouTube and stumbled onto this little beauty. This was a fun one to relive. Enjoy!

Re: Off season random *^%$
This is one area that MSU I think can massively improve upon - highlight reels of players. Any FCS player of significance has a highlight reel somewhere on YouTube generally, but want to find a highlight of Troy Andersen's recording breaking QB season? Good luck.

You mean you haven’t watched this at least 50 times since the end of the 2019 season?
