These look good. Is Rennie done for the year for UNI? SUU can be very dangerous.

Not as of right now. Just sat him out for precautions as far as we know right now. Sounds like one our starting safeties is done tho with a knee injury.

Still suprised we beat YSU without Rennie, Carlos Anderson, a starting o-lineman, and a starting safety. Battle royale.

Should be a good game in Fargo next week.

#4Indiana State (5-4 3-3) @ #7Missouri State (1-8 1-5)

Indiana State bounces back. Missouri State continues to struggle.

#6South Dakota State (4-6 3-4) @ #8Western Illinois (2-7 1-5)

I bet Sumner throws for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns again. SDSU ends the season 5-6, could have been a lot worse. There is hope for the future.

Eastern Illinois (2-8 1-7ovc) @ #9Southern Illinois (2-7 1-6)

MVFC wins. SIU's running back is good.

#5Youngstown State (5-4 3-3) @ #1North Dakota State (9-0 6-0)

Same old story for NDSU.

Southern Utah (5-4 1-3gw) @ #2Northern Iowa (7-2 6-1)

SUU is a weird team this year. Either good or bad. We never know when.

Missouri S&T @ University of South Dakota (5-4 2-1gw)

This is a really difficult game for the Coyotes.....xrolleyesx

#4Indiana State (5-4 3-3) @ #7Missouri State (1-8 1-5) - MSU has been showing signs of life, but Indiana State is still too good (despite the last few losses). Bell runs all over the field after being held back by NDSU...ISU wins.

#6South Dakota State (4-6 3-4) @ #8Western Illinois (2-7 1-5) - Homer pick...SDSU has been up and down, WIU mostly down, but can play well at times. If we don't win this one, we won't win another game this season. I REALLY hope WIU wins.

Eastern Illinois (2-8 1-7ovc) @ #9Southern Illinois (2-7 1-6) - two very disappointing teams this season, but "disappointing" in the MVFC is still much better than "disappointing" in the OVC, and I think EIU's early win against Illinois State was a fluke. SIU wins this one.

#5Youngstown State (5-4 3-3) @ #1North Dakota State (9-0 6-0) - NDSU has done nothing but win. YSU is decent, but obviously not NDSU/UNI good. NDSU's last home game of the regular season will be a big win over the Penguins.

Southern Utah (5-4 1-3gw) @ #2Northern Iowa (7-2 6-1) - UNI has lost to two teams that play well enough to be mid-quality FBS teams (Iowa State and NDSU). They're not losing this one at the dome.

Bonus:

Missouri S&T @ University of South Dakota (5-4 2-1gw) - Missouri S&T plays in a pretty tough conference for their level, but they've been pretty mediocre within it. South Dakota has flirted with the FCS top 25 and I don't think they're going to lose this one. Our future alliance-mates win their last home game as a Great West Conference member.

[DOME]

I like the Trees, Bunnies and home teams.

Be nice to get a couple more OOC wins for the valley. Even if one of them goes to the flying angry dogs that eat children.

Even when they're down I'm not a Saluki fan.

Looks about right to me, hope it turns out this way!

[Professor Chaos]

Indiana State @ Missouri State - The Trees need to win to stay alive. Hopefully they do a better job of it at MSU than NDSU did last year.

South Dakota State @ Western Illinois - Pretty decent turnaround the last couple weeks for Sumner and the Jacks. They're building towards a successful start to the 2012 season.

Eastern Illinois @ Southern Illinois - Things are looking rough for SIU, last week even their normally good defense got smoked. I hope they let Hampton pound on EIU and turn this into a grinder. They should win in that case.

Youngstown State @ North Dakota State - YSU is playing for their season but it's senior day for NDSU, there's (at least a share of) a conference title on the line, and home field throughout the playoffs to play for. NDSU wins an emotional game.

Southern Utah @ Northern Iowa - With Rennie back this game gets lopsided. With Lanpher it's a little closer but the Panthers still win.

Missouri S&T @ South Dakota - Hopefully the last D2 game USD plays for a while.

3-1 on my MVFC picks last week which puts me at 42-12 for the season so far. Okay onto week 11:

Winners
Trees
Jacks
Salukis
Bison
Panthers

Think if the Trees win the last 2, then they've still got a shot at HEAVY consideration for a playoff spot. The Jacks could close the season on a roll, while the Bison and Panthers continue to solidify their top rankings. xthumbsupx

KEEP IT ROCKIN' MVFC!!!!!!xcoachx

Indiana State @ Missouri State... The Trees are pretty good this year...

South Dakota State @ Western Illinois... The Rabbits continue their late-season run...

Eastern Illinois @ Southern Illinois... SIU isn't very good, but Eastern Illinois is worse...

Youngstown State @ #1 North Dakota State... The Herd continues to roll...

Southern Utah @ Northern Iowa... Probably won't be pretty...

Bonus:

Missouri S&T @ University of South Dakota

[UNIFanSince1983]

Indiana State -- Bears can scratch at trees, but ultimately I don't think they can take them down and trees out live bears so Indiana State wins.
EIU -- Unfortunately a panther would maul the crap out of a saluki
WIU -- Marines have guns and I think they could kill a Jackrabbit.
NDSU -- A herd of bison vs a herd of penguins would be interesting, but I think the bison would trample the flightless birds
Missouri S&T -- I think a miner could kill a coyote. Using a pickax the coyote would stand no chance.

(Edited for a different way of picking games. Gonna see how it works out)

[Pant8her]

ISUr (6-3) -- Bye week, well deserved rest for last regular season game where they will prepare to play UNI and the possibility for post season with a win.

ISUb (5-4) @ MSU (1-8) -- MSU has not had such a good season, and with Bell and company coming to town it doesn’t help. ISUb has a little more to accomplish this season and have aspirations to make the playoffs. ISUb win out and may have post season games.

YSU (5-4) @ NDSU (9-0) -- YSU nay not have enough this season but it should be a good game. Second dome team in as many weeks, tough road trip for the penguins, NDSU wins a tough fought game.

SDSU (4-6) @ WIU (2-7) -- WIU lost their main offensive threat QB, but being at home could play the spoiler and win this game, but SDSU probably has a little more talent. This could be a good toss up game, bunnies win on the road last game of the season.

EIU (2-8) @ SIU (2-7) -- The last FCS intrastate Ill schools to play. Initially SIU would have been favored but with their play this season it has become suspect. I will stay with the home team to win.

S Utah (5-4) @ UNI (7-2) -- SUU goes to UNI, for a tough game. SUU has played brilliantly this season as well as poorly (Jekyll and Hyde). Additionally SUU had a bye week to prepare for this game. UNI is still playing hurt, but well enough to win the close games. The home team will likely win, and hoping for a decent standing for post season games.

Bonus:

Missouri S&T @ USD (5-4) -- MiST not known for football goes to USD to have fun. USD has a bit more fun getting a win.

Sweet I'm the only one that picked ysu.
