Massey 4-0, me 3-1, coaches’ poll 2-2

Apparently, I’m less biased than the coaches, but not as unbiased (or prophetic) as Massey Ratings.
Massey said this, and that is exactly what happened.
BTW, Massey said SOU would beat KWU 52-17. SOU won 52-8. Massey said SOU would beat Baker by 3. SOU won by 5. Next time I’ll listen to Massey.
What will Massey say for next Saturday’s games? We won’t know until probably Monday, but since Massey says Baker is the best playoff team at home in the NAIA, and Massey says Baker is better than Morningside, I’m guessing Massey will make SOU a 3 or 4 point favorite over #1 (according to the coaches) Morningside.
Marian will be an underdog at undefeated St. Francis so a rematch of last year’s championship game in Daytona is not extremely likely.
Final Four
Jeremey Scottow had 6 catches for 74 yards in today’s 24-19 victory over #2 Baker

The Raiders are headed to Iowa for next week’s semifinal game against #1 Morningside. I’ve never been to Iowa. I hear it’s warm and beautiful there in December. I’ll let you know in a week.
Gameday!

Massey predicts…

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @Matt_Retzlaff @MontanaTechFB @MsideFootball
Massey agrees with all of my picks except for Montana Tech. I think Montana Tech’s more rigorous schedule thus far will lead them to an upset victory. Note that the rankings (“standing”) are Massey’s, not the coaches. With a more objective rating system, many of the locations of Saturday’s games would change.
Massey Ratings predictions for 2015 NAIA FCS second round
2015 NAIA FCS quarterfinal pairings
Louis Macklin averaged almost 11 yards a carry in SOU’s first round victory
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @LouieVHbk #NAIAFB #NAIAPlayoffs
Here are the 11/28/15 games:
Game 1 – Tabor @ Morningside
Game 2 – Southern Oregon @ Baker (Kan.)
Game 3 – Marian @ Grand View (Iowa)
Game 4 – Montana Tech @ Saint Francis (Ind.)
Predictions:
Game 1 – Morningside
Game 2 – Southern Oregon
Game 3 – Marian
Game 4 – Montana Tech
I was correct in 7 of my 8 first-round predictions. Tabor is the only team remaining that isn’t a top ten team (in my mind–not the coaches).
If my round two picks come true then SOU should be at Morningside for the semifinals, and Marian should be at Montanta Tech–setting up a possible all-Frontier Conference championship game in Daytona.
Frontier Conference domination

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @MontanaWestern @racetodaytona @Play_NAIA @FConference
Will the NAIA “powers that be” finally realize after today’s results what people have been saying for a couple years? As I mentioned a week ago, today’s #10 at #7 (according to the NAIA coaches) was really #46 at #3 (according to Massey Ratings). Not to disrespect Kansas Wesleyan, and their 10-2 season, but they couldn’t have beaten anyone in the Frontier Conference other than Montana Northern. That’s what I said, and Massey Ratings agreed, and yet the voting coaches thought KWU was more worthy of a post season birth than Montana Western. Ridiculous.
SOU shouldn’t be playing Montana Tech next week as the top four teams (according to the coaches) won. If the system is at all fair, things will play out so that SOU ends up playing Montana Tech in Daytona this year. SOU should have played Carroll College in Daytona last year. Carroll College should have ended up with the #2 ranking last year.
Things need to be fixed in the NAIA football ranking system soon. SOU and Montana Tech should be at home next weekend. Neither will be since they had to run the Frontier Conference gauntlet just to get to the postseason.
