Originally posted by NWFanatic View PostDoes 9-2 convey any advantage over 8-2 or 7-2 in the criteria? What about late losses vs early losses?

DU only plays 8 D2 teams(played NMU twice) and they’ll likely end the season on a 2 game losing streak while only beating 6 different D2 teams. Yet they’ll likely make the playoffs ahead of some 9-2 teams.

Originally posted by NWFanatic View PostIf silo scheduling hurts MIAA teams why isn’t only playing 8 different D2 teams hurting DU. If scheduling OOC is so easy why could they only come up with 8 D2 teams to play?
The other team (whole conference actually) looked at the criteria and said, "Dude scheduling is hard. We'll just roll the dice and blame the system that we refused to follow." In a whiny voice.

I think the issue is that the criteria are known. One team looked at them and said "If we Winn most of them, we can still get in with 7 games."

But either way, the silo thing needs to go. ESU/NW winner in, loser plays Davenport in the Toilet Bowl somewhere would be my vote.

UH, when conferences have silos, it doesn't help getting an OOC game. All of the GLIAC travels. But not having 11 games isn't because the GLIAC isn't trying to schedule OOC games. You really think GV wanted to play Lincoln (CA)? And AI was a really great match up too. I'm not saying silo is the only reason that scheduling is tough, but it doesn't help things a bit.
As for the GLIAC, I feel bad for them. Not sure where all the teams went, but they seem like a dying conference. Trying to schedule 4 ooc games a year has to be tough, and they don't have enough teams to silo up, or any conferences close by to do a scheduling alliance.
I can see both sides with DU, though. I don't think they would win 9 in the MIAA, but their only losses being to 2 of the top teams in all of D2 should carry some weight, and their numbers seem good as long as they don't get dinged for having so few games that count.
I hate the silo stuff, and it shouldn't be rewarded, but I don't want to see a team rewarded for taking money games and/or playing down more than once a year. (I don't know if DU did that or not. I am just throwing it out there as a point, not an accusation )
