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.

With this year’s new Frontier Conference football scheduling, which has each team playing each other just once, more non-conference games were created. Previously, some schools only had conference games, and those that didn’t only had one non-conference game. This year all teams had at least one, and some had two. The result? An 8-2 record, with the only losses being by Arizona Christian and Eastern Oregon–two teams not expected to finish near the top of the conference standings. Massey Ratings, therefore, has six Frontier Conference football teams in the top 24. The coaches will have their poll out tomorrow, but don’t count on six Frontier Conference teams being in that top 24.
