IP is absolutely correct. If you look at the conference standings, there are going to be a whole bunch of teams that finish 8-4, including a FBS loss. We lose to SDSU only if Hess is still crippled and on the sidelines. Therefore, his injury becomes the perfect excuse for the committee to pass us over for another 8-4 team. Can you really argue with their logic? Are we a playoff caliber team without a quarterback? Well, no.
The MVFC was superior to all others last season by a wider margin, the largest I had ever seen since such stats became public. Yet, despite that superiority, Strollo had to work extremely hard to get SDSU into the tournament as our third representative. Sorry. Next week is a play-in game for us and for SDSU.
