Massey Ratings gives the Raiders a 30% chance of winning against Massey’s #2 team in the country. (The coaches have College of Idaho at #5.) With 20 teams going to the NAIA playoffs this year, if Massey was in charge, SOU would be in (at #16). Instead, teams like Dickinson State (who lost to Rocky Mountain who the Raiders beat), Evangel (who hasn’t played a team in the top 40 — SOU has had six games against teams in the top 15), and Texas Wesleyan (who lost by 18 points at home to the only top 20 team they faced) will make it to the postseason.

Increasing the number of playoff teams to 20 was a great idea. Allowing the coaches, who don’t seem to look at schedule strength at all, to determine who makes it was not.

Brian Batres for the PAT

Details here.

The coaches don’t have the Raiders in their Top 30, but Massey has them at #15 with a 96% chance of beating Arizona Christian today. Speaking of Arizona Christian, the coaches had them at #26 in the preseason poll. Last year they dominated a different conference, and this year they joined the Frontier Conference. The Frontier Conference is, by far, the most rigorous conference for NAIA football. Just ask Arizona Christian.

Consider not only Arizona Christian but Dickinson State as well. The coaches have Dickinson at #20, despite the fact that they lost to Rocky Mountain (who the Raiders beat by a score of 23-5). Massey has six Frontier Conference teams in the top 17. The coaches have just four in their top 30.
