I double checked it and meant to have Harvard instead of HC. Other than that, only ones I am "off" on are Mercer and WCU.

It was a complete no show and the question was whether it was just one of those games that happen every so often or if they were overrated and exposed. They played much better against SDSU so I think YSU was just a flat week emotionally for them; 'yotes better not be half-stepping this week....

wait a minute - flat week emotionally counts now? Cause when UND lost 27-0 at UNI the week after destroying NDSU for 60 straight minutes we were told it's cause they are no good. Confused!!!

I didn't say anything about it "counting", I was saying that the SDSU game showed me that SIU's debacle at YSU was due more to emotional let down than to being overrated.

At the same time, let's ignore Montana's loss to NAU, SAC's 1 point win vs NAU at home, and UND's dismantling of NAU.

At the same time, let's ignore that UND played NAU with Kai Millner at QB, who was benched in the UTU game, and that UM was still playing Vidlak at QB, when McDowell is head and shoulders better than Vidlak. Both teams are improved with the change at the crucial QB position. As much as I hate to admit it, the Griz went from overrated in the upper teens to appropriately ranked in the 4-8 range, all by changing out a bad QB with a good one. Don't worry, Montana still has Sac State this weekend and the Brawl to get knocked down a few pegs.

I think the difference in looking at both as no shows but trying to figure out which is more out of the norm is that UND at home is so vastly different than UND on the road and that kind on if inconsistent play is hard to rank. SIU had the big ass let down, but in general has been more consistent. Maybe my thinking is a bit skewed, and I haven't looked at it close enough. However, knowing UND is something like 5-20 in their last 25 road games makes easier to look at them and go "The NDSU win is big, but was it an issue of a big rivalry game at home where they gave the best they could offer and what happened in the 2 weeks after is closer to the mean"? I don't know, but it's a thought one could have at this point.

Tends to happen in sports, some teams more than others

I don't care who was playing QB, UND kicked the crap out of them on both sides of the ball. It was 37-9 when NAU scored vs the backups at the end.

As always, I am thrilled when someone picks on my 25th ranked team.
