Nov. 15 GPI Playoff Projections

Here are my latest projections based on the GPI. I am surprised NDSU stayed at #1 but with just one loss, the index doesn't lie. Sam Houston State looks like they will have home field even with the #2 seed throughout the playoffs but there is a lot to contend with in the last week of the regular season. I will make my last projections just before the official playoff announcement on Sunday.

Every week, I look at this bracket and it never makes sense maybe because it starts with the poll that makes little sense.

So the GPI is the best indicator, but then you ignore it?

The index doesn't lie, that is indeed true. The only liars are the biased, emotional humans and their human polls.

MVFC with 5 in is correct.



1st Round
Albany @ New Hampshire
Norfolk St @ Old Dominion
Stony Brook @ Youngstown St
Tennessee Tech @ Indiana St


Ouch! Going to be some embarrassing loses on the road for Norfolk, Stony and Tech.

Albany and UNH could be interesting, but I would not hesitate to predict UNH the winner.

Good info. Still have to win on saturday before we worry about Youngstown St.

I don't claim to understand the GPI as well as I should, but there's a hell of a drop from #5 MSU to #6 ASU. Seems the GPI has pretty much, at this point, chosen what it believes to be the true contenders.
