Now that it is later in the season. The playoff selection committee uses the: "AFCA Coaches’ Poll and the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 Poll as a tool for evaluating teams." See his view of NC Central and Albany. He has NI climbing. I can understand why NDSU isn't ranked higher, but I can't imagine that NDSU wouldn't beat those 2 teams.

I see that Herder/Hero Sports has 4 Big Sky teams in top 12. I don't think much of Herder's knowledge of football, so what he says mean little to me.

"South Dakota State
Montana
Idaho
Montana State
Furman
South Dakota
North Carolina Central
UAlbany
Delaware
Northern Iowa
Southern Illinois
Sacramento State"

The Seeding discussion on the main board is interesting and quite good. That was informative, I thought.

I'm guessing Furman will be 2 even though they shouldn't be, with a weak strength of schedule.

Massey has SoDak, CATS, gris, NoDak, Idaho.

Incarnate dropped 9 and is below Ewoo, Sac dropped two to 9 and Furman rose two to 11...

Does the committee base more weight on Massey or the other polls? Cats haven't moved on Massey despite the Idaho loss.

I'm not sure the committee even looks at Massey. They look at Stats and Coaches polls. It's in the rules. The committee evaluates strength of schedule. I don't know how they do that.
