I don't think it hurt them in that discussion that the previous year they showed well too by beating GV.
I looked it up, and Shepherd is 1-4 against non-SR1 teams going back to 2015. The average score was 38-16.
They haven't earned the benefit of the doubt.

Kle is just jacking with you. Like I said previously, in a 28 team playoff seeded nationally, many SR1 teams would still make it.

Newberry, Saginaw Valley, Sioux Falls, Minnesota-Duluth, Emporia State, West Georgia all would have been more competitive against Colorado Mines in the semifinals than Shepherd was. 100% not a single shred of doubt in my mind.

Shepherd joined the PSAC then and apparently we got the bad mojo of that conference and now we also get smoked. Perhaps its the stink of the PSAC. I completely agree that based on the last couple year's results, in no way shape or form should the Rams get any benefit of the doubt when resumes are comparable. Give it to the stronger conference rep from the other region. There wasn't much of a peep for 1 loss Shepherd going to 2 loss Mines this year, and there shouldn't have been either.

Saginaw Valley lost to the national champion by 5 points this year. Shepherd lost to the national runner-up by 31, who then lost to the national champion by 27. Shepherd also lost to last year's national champion by 48 when SVSU lost to that same national champion by 2. SVSU didn't make the playoffs in either year. So at best guesstimate, Shepherd would be a 4th-place team in the GLIAC the last two years.
Come on dude, that stuff means nothing.

I miss the 90’s when a GLIAC team on the IUP schedule was an automatic win. Good times.

Transitive property huh? What about Michigan Tech only losing by 8 to Ferris? That 4-7 juggernaut surely would whoop everyone in Region 1 too right?

Meh, idk. Based on just the eye test, I think Shepherd was somewhere in between Washburn and UCO. Good enough to beat a really good team if everything went right, just not quite enough horses to do it regularly, though.
This is just 100 percent my opinion based on super limited exposure. I'm not married to the comparison. I just put them in that, "Pretty good in some areas, but huge weaknesses in others", category.

Shepherd had a good enough defense for Region 1 but not for a national game in the Final 4.

The biggest issue with Pee Sack teams is we don’t have the horses on defense to keep up with the stronger teams in other regions. IUP had a tough defense in 2017 but we had Max Redfield who came from Notre Damexand he was quite the difference maker. Generally though our defenses are a turnstile on a national playing field and while we tend to get talented players on offense once they are down a lot on the scoreboard they can’t play their game.
