SDSU will be looking to lock up it's first FCS playoff spot next. UNI will try to get a bid as well. Youngstown is fighting to finish the year with a winning record. And SIU is... well, they're SIU :)

game of the week is in Normal, IL next week. UNI @ ISU (r). ISU playing spoiler, UNI playing for playoffs.

I hope UNI brings a lot of fans because there will be dozens of ISU fans in attendance after our stinker today, probably lousy weather (just guessing), and students going home for Fall break.

I'm joking about the dozens of ISU fans in attendance, but the crowd will likely be small and reserved, not very fitting of a game of the week atmosphere (although as always, our tailgate lots should be packed). All that said, I'll be there as long as Amtrak doesn't screw me over again. And I'll be drinking at one of Normal's fine establishments afterward! xnodx

Seems like the only toss-up game here is the Bison and Penguins. I'll take the Bison at home. Maybe the Birds come back with a spirited effort against UNI, but I also know that with a playoff spot on the line, UNI is going to give us all they got.

No way NDSU loses the seniors last game as Bison in Fargo!

This game is all they have left and they've got their collective butts in gear now, after the sound crushing of Indiana State.

YSU doesn't have a chance.


The three playoff bound teams in the MVFC all win, as well.

You are right on most of this, however I disagree. YSU does have a chance however I think we will win a close game.

The other teams that will win are the playoff bound teams.

Road teams get the sweep!

Road teams get the sweep!

Except in Fargo. A good crowd for the final game will give the Bison all they need to pull off a close win to end the season with three straight victories.

[MplsBison]

Agreed. Solid momentum going into next year.

[Gil Dobie]

I do like the momentum building at the end, let's hope it continues this weekend.

NDSU/YSU is a toss-up to me. All the other games look pretty cut and dry.

SIU was in about the same situation at UNI was last year going to ISU. We needed the win bad, it was cold as balls, and ISU wanted to prove something. Was a close game, but SIU got the victory that day, and I think UNI will get theirs easily.

Road teams get the sweep!

Well, the SIU-SEMO game will practically be a home game for the Salukis, considering Cape Girardeau, MO is only a short drive for most Saluki fans.

I've been told that we are treating it like a home game. The players are going to completely dress in full pads before loading on the buses and heading to Cape.

Good luck to all the MVFC teams this weekend xthumbsupx
