How did I do?

The new 2017 NAIA Football Coaches’ Top 25 Poll came out today. People mocked me for saying the coaches would have Eastern Oregon ahead of SOU in the poll even after SOU beat Eastern at a neutral location.
I said Montana Tech would end up #5 and they did. I said Eastern Oregon would be ranked somewhere between #11 and #15 (#11 was actually my best guess), and they came in at #11. I said SOU would be somewhere between #14 and #18 (with #17 being my best guess), and the Raiders came in at #14. I had Western Montana at #21, and the coaches have them at #28, quite a hit for a team that barely lost to a higher ranked team on the road, but the coaches are idiots when it comes to the rankings.

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.
