I don't want to say that Portland State is even a decent, but in terms of quality there seems to be a big difference in quality between them and a team like Northern Colorado. Close against us, close against Idaho. We still should have beat them by more, but they're not awful.
Yep, that's a big boost for us no matter how we finish. It's either...
-another win over a highly ranked team which could help us over one of the MVFC teams if we finish 11-1 or 10-2
-or if we go 9-3, that H2H win could be the tiebreaker for us over a 9-3 Idaho team if it comes down to us and them for the 8 seed.
You know how this board feels about the head-to-head stuff ....
Beating the #8 team on the last day of the season to move to 7-4.......and watching THAT same team go to the playoffs with the same record (and worse conference record).
The committee says rankings don't matter, but I really think that's BS. Being unranked kept us out (and the awful NAU loss).
At least this year we'd likely be ranked, if it comes down to Idaho and Davis being 9-3
I think everyone knows quite well that when Sac State sucks in any sport they can always find a way to beat the Aggies, and then resume sucking thereafter. The exception is if the Aggies also suck at the time. Fear the unsatisfactory hornets.
