-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week 10 summary:
The F'in Hawks let everybody down in a truly mindboggling upset. Not even our friendly neighborhood Indiana State fan picked the Trees to pull off the upset, yet here we are... Their playoff hopes are now on life support as they STILL remain winless on the road this year, but are now going back to the friendly confines of their shopping mall/airplane hanger combo hosting the Jackrabbits.
The race for playoff participants from the Valley is looking pretty down overall. NDSU/SDSU/USD are sitting pretty for good seeding. Illinois State, UND, and somehow Indiana State are all in the conversation for an at-large bid as well, though there will be some in-fighting as ISUr plays both ISUb/UND in the final two games of the regular season. Any of them pretty well need to win out to even have a chance as a bubble team. Maybe Illinois State could get in winning 2 of 3 down the stretch, but 8-4 is no guarantee this year with the 12-game season.
Not in that playoff discussion, but still in the hunt for the regular season MVFC champion crown is Missouri State, the only other undefeated-in-conference team besides NDSU. They play at Murray State this week, but then at NDSU and vs SDSU to end the season, very possibly with conference championship on the line with either game. There also could be a 3-way tie for the crown between NDSU/SDSU/USD/Missouri State (I did some scenarios, and couldn't come up with a 4-way tie as there's too much infighting for that). Still TECHNICALLY doable too would be a 5-way tie with those 4, plus either ISUb or ISUr, all at 6-2. It's obviously incredibly far-fetched, but that would sure be something... wouldn't it?
