In terms of playoff seeding, though, you can only count GRI/SOS/polls/playing a D2 team and beating them to get to 10 wins (versus only 9 for NAU in 11 games).
Everything but head-to-head, and conference record, apparently, count for the Griz versus the Lumberjacks. Of course, if the roles were reversed, I'm sure UM fans would be screaming bloody murder if they had beaten NAU 34-16, had a better league record, and the same amount of losses, yet NAU got the seed, and the Griz had to play next weekend.
Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

No they wouldn't. Besides, NAU didn't have a better league record anyway. They played weaker competition.PapaG wrote:Head-to-head, of course.The Butcher wrote:So now that the Cats KILLED NAU- how are the griz fans going to tell us how they have a better team?

Are you dumb? 7-1 is better than 6-2 in my book.

Re: Griz spin?
OK Stupid. They are the league records, whether or not they played the same league teams is irrelevant. If you want to whine about which teams each did play, go ahead, but by the rule of the BSC, it doesn't mean jack. No wonder people hate most Griz fans, they are complete and total whiny jackasses. All this does not even take into account that UM lost to NAU.tampa_griz wrote:No, you're dumb.

Re: Griz spin?
Why should the selection committee care about league records, when they include non-common opponents? They should be comparing the teams' overall resumes. League records are meaningless, except to the extent that they include games against common opponents. The only reason NAU's league record is better than UM's is because they didn't have to play EWU.

Oh, I think it is pretty clear that UM's passing game is to say that UM wouldn't have lost to SUU. I think Johnson would have thrown for more than 90 yards over four quarters.Bobcat Jim wrote:Who's to say UM wouldn't have lost to SUU if they would have had to play them.Grizlaw wrote:Why should the selection committee care about league records, when they include non-common opponents?
