Agreed on the point about pissing matches.
About the OVC and CAA in the Massy ratings, though: is it possible that Massy is simply reflecting the quality of the conference from top to bottom,...
No, no... go ahead. I believe that is the price one has to pay to participate in one of these threads. Wasn't that FargoBison's point with his sweet meme of Alec Baldwin?
Thank you for the...
Somewhere in here was a really interesting discussion about statistical measures versus the eye test...
...but as is par for the course, it has been reduced to a pissing contest between...
I have no argument with anything you say in your final sentence.
This sudden flood of common sense posts on an AGS thread is so refreshing.
It's nothing personal towards you, McNeese75, but these attendance insults seem to come up a lot on this board from a variety of people, and they are pretty lame. There are so many factors that...
I made a post a little over half way through the conference season that, while the OVC as a whole was dramatically improved from years past, there was not an elite team. I think that the folks in...
I don't even have 500 posts, so I must still be learning how to work those buttons... sorry! xrolleyesx
I guess you're referencing the attendance at the playoff game last year against JMU? It was...
Ugh. Why is it always Richmond? At least the Spidahs won't have Timmy Hightower this time.
And what happened that it seems like I can't read a thread without an NDSU fan running down my alma...
The last three teams in the hunt for an OVC at-large birth leave an interesting scenario and I think Saturday's TSU/UTM game will eliminate one of the three teams. Consider the case for each team:...
EIU's offense looked as good as advertised. They moved the ball with ease and could have put up 40 if not for 4 turnovers. It's hard to say how good their defense is. They shut EKU down, but they...
I suspected as much after looking at their schedule, but didn't want to slight SELA. Figured someone from the SLC could provide a more informed opinion.
Man, oh, man... I hope they win a game this year. Is Culver-Stockton any good? That is the non D-I team left on the schedule.
I promised a summary of the OVC playoff history and here it is...
OVC teams in bold, Eventual National Champs in italics
1979 – 1982 - The EKU Golden Age, Birth of I-AA, OVC Dominance
1979 –...
I can't tell if your "Remind me..." is sarcasm or an honest question. Message boards can be ambiguous. I am going to assume you are sincere.
Here are the best OOC wins by each OVC team, ranked in...
I think that is a very valid point. I don't think the OVC has one dominant team, either. Outside of Austin Peay, the conferene is pretty solid, which is certainly a change from the previous 20 years.
I'll provide the OVC playoff record tomorrow, but I did look up the recent history and learned that my memory failed me. The OVC last won a playoff game in 2000. WKU won that year before they joined...
Yes... the 1998 statistic is embarrassing. But how much bearing should that have on THIS year? The polls are supposed to be about who the top 25 teams are THIS season. When you consider the...
I'm wondering if the OVC is getting under-represented in all three polls? The OVC does not have a single team ranked in the top 15, and not one in the top 20 in the AGS poll. Is this the way it...
Especially involving our Colonels... grrrrind it out.

Even with no pass-rush, that's an impressive day of pitch and catch. Congrats to the Skyhawk QB.
Can anyone who really understands the numbers tell me what it is that the Sagarin ratings hate about the OVC? Is it strength of schedule? Is it that the OVC isn't in the top 15 in any of the polls?

Without going back to the early 1900s and looking at high school teams and small local colleges, the list is pretty short:
Team - Record - Date of Last Meeting
Central Michigan - 1-7 - 2003

I expect Murray and JaxState to win by two scores or more.
I expect the other two games will be much tighter. I'm taking my Colonels and UT-Martin.
I want the OVC to be a top dog in football again as much as any body, but at some point, you have to face reality and do what is best for the institution. Whether the OVC were to have a football...
