The selection process is definitely flawed because of the sample size of out of conference games. There just aren't enough games in any season to say...

I believe Valdosta won their conference championship and received an automatic bid....

This was after the Wayne game, when we still had a healthy defense......

[Thunder]

The biggest difference between the Schmidt and Dosch eras is this: With Dosch I never felt we had a chance to compete with the conference elite. We...

The vast majority of head scratching committee decisions where the NSIC team received the benefit belong to Mankato.

[Thunder]

No, I have not. While I'm sure the 2025 Peacocks are better than the 2022 Peacocks, I don't think Upper Iowa ever had more than 6 wins in the NSIC. I...

I think this is important. You can’t just lose to good teams, you should have to beat somebody too. I will grant you the Michigan Tech game was a good...

[Thunder]

Yup, that makes it much more difficult. Hopefully having a Thursday Week 0 game makes it logistically more possible even that doesn’t help the financial...

I don’t remember the specifics from last year, but as for this year Mankato’s metrics were significantly better than Augie and Moorhead. Inkblot has some...

Thank you wscsuperfan...

Mankato beat Augie. (And the NWMSU win was very helpful for their numbers)...

Top teams in the NSIC need to do everything they can to schedule their noncon games against the top of the GMAC and GLVC. Probably not real beneficial...

NSIC has 8 good teams, but zero dominant teams. It is always going to be tough for anybody to get through the conference without 2 or 3 losses.

Northwood at Ferris
Duluth at Ashland
Mankato at Findlay
Truman at Indy

Bummer that the NSIC didn’t get a home game and...

UIU has 2 tough conference games and lost both....

[Thunder]

Yeah, a pretty atrocious opening weekend, especially for some teams expected to be at the top of the NSIC (looking at you SMSU and SCSU)...

I only had the NSU-SNU game on a second screen and missed a good portion of the second half last night, but was pleasantly surprised with the competitive...

[Thunder]

Man, that win over NW Missouri St in week 0 is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Mankato. I’m kinda surprised the number still like them so much that...

[Thunder]

It’s amazing to see how teams change over the season. Hard to believe the Wayne team from the last month is the same one that I saw in Aberdeen in ...

[Thunder]

I didn’t see any of the games, but in just looking at results is it safe to assume NWMSU is better than people expected?...
