Turns out we aren't as good as we thought. This has the feel of a blowout early. We will not be going to the playoffs and don't deserve to. I think were going to lose by 20-30, its clear the O is going to be as bad as last week. Eventually the D is going to break.

SDSU 34, UNI 10.

So it was maybe an overreaction, but the O has still been terrible. We had 1 TD drive but did absolutely nothing on any of the other drives. Grace with a fumble and 2 picks. We will not win playing like this. I dont know how were winning as it is.

This also eliminates any chance for MSU making the playoffs even if we were to win out and finish 8-3.

UNI has to be pretty concerned about their playoff chances after this one...

If they win out, UNI will have the following W's: St Francis (PA), Western Illinois (just lost to INDIANA State), YSU (their signature win, I suppose?), NDSU (1 W so far), Illinois State, Missouri State, Indiana State (USD doesn't count towards the playoffs, as far as I'm aware). I think it's going to take a pretty weak field for UNI to get in this there with those wins.

Way to go SDSU, too. Looking forward to the SIU/SDSU matchup.

How? It just turned us into a 2 playoff team league. If you had won and SDSU beaten SIU then maybe 3. But no way you guys make it now with your best MVFC win coming against MSU. If a log jam of 3 8-3 teams happen, only 1 goes along with SDSU as the AQ for 2 total

Your analysis is probably sound, but whether or not UNI gets a third MVFC bid depends on the resumes of the other bubble teams.

Nice win, but don't count your chickens before they hatch. You only have one home game left and that is the #3 Salukis. Even though the Dawgs lost their #1 QB today, they will still give you all you want.

I can't wait for that game xnodx

Jacks topple UNI
O'Brien, Minett lead SDSU to best start in 30 years

BROOKINGS - On the 96th edition of Hobo Day, the South Dakota State football team proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is anything but shabby.


The No. 11-ranked Jackrabbits knocked off No. 6 Northern Iowa 24-14 on Saturday afternoon, thrilling an overflow crowd of 15,523 - the fourth largest in Coughlin-Alumni Stadium history - and taking another step forward as a program.


Not only did SDSU improve to 6-1 overall - its best start in 30 years - and 5-0 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, it did so by beating one of the elite programs in the Football Championship Subdivision. The Panthers have made 14 playoff appearances since 1985, reaching the national semifinals last year.


But the Jacks were the better team pretty much from the start - UNI (5-3, 3-2) fumbled on the first offensive play. They held the Panthers to season-lows for points and yards (327), bettering what the University of Iowa did against the Panthers in both categories and handing them their most lopsided league loss since 2006. . . .

Congrats to the Jacks and good bye 3 teams from the MVC which means good bye playoffs for UNI.

It sounded like we played terrible again today, but I think maybe we weren't as good as we showed against some terrible teams like USD, St. Francis, and Indiana State. SDSU wanted this game more than we did. They are much better than I thought they were. I wouldn't want to see them in the playoffs. The game vs SIU should be one heck of a game for the conference championship (more than likely). And things like this are exactly why I did not like being so highly regarded, and having UNI fans talk so much crap early. We had not played anyone, and had a ton to prove and our fans were and other fans were putting us in the National Championship. Now sitting at home for Thanksgiving is what we will be doing.

I am not holding out much hope for playoffs for the Panthers at all. I think we need a miracle. I know it comes down to who else would be on a bubble at 8-3, but we still have to get to 8-3. And I think if it is us an a SoCon or CAA team at 8-3 I think there is a better chance for those teams to get in than us because our best win will be vs MSU, while one of those may have a more impressive win either in conference or out. Heck an 8-3 McNeese team will get an at large sooner than we will due to big wins.

Why do you bridge jumpers keep saying that? Win out and you're in. The only thing you lost last week was a seed and this week potential home games after the first round. Relax. Teams can and do make it to Chatty under that scenario.

I think the committe would like to see a bid from UNI and that the dome could be a tie-breaker.xnodx

Also, at some point, doesn't the MSU win starting looking like UNI's best? I mean, we did beat YSU at their place...heck, in all honesty, we had every chance to win that SDSU game. Though I do think SDSU was the better team.

This is far from the truth, henfan. They don't have a quality win on their resume unless Missouri State looks really good down the stretch..That said, with the field thinning, they still may have a shot, and will almost definitely get a home game as a result.

I personally think this is still a pretty good team, I just think SDSU and SIU are also pretty good teams. I'd be surprised if they didn't win out.

Because the rest of our conference blows donkeys this year. 8 wins over high school caliber teams doesn't mean much.

You better be careful with YSU or you may beat yourselves again.

I am not a bridge jumper I just do not realistically see a way we get in at 8-3 with our best win being Missouri State. I mean if we are up against teams like McNeese, Delaware, UMass, and more of the like we do not make it. All of those teams have better wins already than we do. All of them have chances to get more quality wins.

IF we win out our best win is against Missouri State who actually may be 8-3 also, but probably 7-4. If we play like we have the last two weeks I could see Youngstown come into the Dome and make sure we stand no chance at the playoffs.

If we get in and get new life in the playoffs I will like where we stand at making it to Chattanooga. In 2005 we were 8-3 with 2 conference losses and a loss to Iowa, and had to go on the road in the playoffs. Personally I just don't see it unless teams like McNeese, Delaware, UMass and some others hurt themselves down the stretch and we find our game in the last 3.

Either way I will be cheering for the Panthers just as hard as ever!!!

All you can do now is win out and hope for the best. I wouldn't be surprised to see your bus pulling into Carbondale around the second round.

Ah but if UNI had won the past two weekends it would be declared the toughest conference in the country. Sorry, I like the folks from UNI but how fast can you jump off the bandwagon?

I hope we get a crack at you guys out in Mizzoula. I cannot image that the gameday atmosphere & noise level at your stadium can be rivaled anywhere else in the FCS...

I had the chance to play at Montana twice during my college career. The first time, a 14-7 loss, my ears were literally RINGING on the first play of the game. It was rediculously intimidating. Your fans know how to make noise - that's for sure!

You guys came to Missoula quite a few years ago, and helped launch the Dave Dickenson era real nicely via a season opener... One of the greatest college games I have ever been to. Great win on Saturday, lets both our teams tear up some of the east coast teams in the playoffs before we face off.
