Playoffs - Round 2 - Northwest Missouri State @ Harding

[Divisiontwo]

So far, Northwest Missouri, but that may change this weekend. Harding killed the team that beat Northwest.

Without being snarky and say a team only plays a single game every week, I don't think the question is beating a single team, but beating multiple teams in a row. Plus, you mentioned twice that you had a backup quarterback playing. That can be an issue in that offense as well.

I had another thought which caused me to look up Harding's playoff history.

The offense typically doesn't allow for huge leads in the playoffs, which means games can sometimes come down to a single mistake. There is a smaller margin of error.

Just thinking out loud.

No one is saying you can't beat them. In fact, the opposite was said in my post. I don't know what you're reading.

How does the NCAA decide who can and can't play?

Broken rules. Leave it at that.

Gotcha. I'm an idiot. I thought you meant because of injury. Apologies.

I don't want to get in the middle of your guys' pissing match, but this reminded me of something a friend of mine posted on twitter.
