Massey was impressed with Southern Oregon’s lopsided win on the road against a team (Montana Western) Massey had in its top ten. Massey bumped the Raiders up two spots to #3, ahead of Montana Tech and Morningside.
The coaches won’t be so generous. The only team in front of the #14 Raiders in the coaches’ poll to lose was Eastern Oregon so the Raiders will likely only move up one spot to #13 when the new coaches’ poll comes out Monday.
Massey has the Raiders as 16-point favorites at home Saturday against Carroll College. Last year was the first time SOU ever beat Carroll by 16 points or more.

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?
