EOU beat Western Montana today. Not much changed with Massey Ratings as SOU stayed put at #5. Massey was more impressed with Morningside’s win than Montana Tech’s victory over lowly Montana Northern so Montana Tech slid to #4 according to Massey.
Just a point of clarification… Several people said last week after this post that Massey doesn’t mean anything. It is true that Massey doesn’t mean anything in terms of who goes to the postseason or who gets home games in the postseason, but Massey means much more than the coaches’ poll in terms of predicting who will win games as I’ve documented many times over the years.
So what rankings do count? The extremely biased and inaccurate coaches’ poll is the only one that counts in the NAIA’s eyes. The first one comes out tomorrow (Monday, September 11). Based on what the coaches normally do, I believe Montana Tech will end up #5, Eastern Oregon will be ranked somewhere between #11 and #15, SOU will be somewhere between #14 and #18, and Western Montana will drop to somewhere around #20 or #21.
The Raiders will travel to Western Montana for next Saturday’s game. Massey has Southern Oregon as a 3-point favorite.
Update: How did I do?

While Rosas has played in many preseason NFL games (for the Titans last year and the Giants this year), his first regular season game will be today vs. the Dallas Cowboys. Game time is 5:30 on the west coast.

A year ago, I saw Lake Street Dive for the first time. A couple weeks ago, I saw them again.

The Raiders took down the coaches’ #7 and Massey’s #4 on Saturday night. Southern Oregon will play at College of Idaho before the next coaches’ poll comes out.
