Tanner Trosin with the touchdown<\/p><\/div>\n

@TannerTrosin @SOURaiders @SOU_Football<\/p>\n

Earlier this week I talked about how computer rankings are better than a coaches’ poll for NAIA football (as I’ve done previously<\/a>). I also mentioned how the computer picked SOU to beat the College of Idaho, 48-32, today. Did they? Well, they came pretty darn close. SOU won, 42-27<\/a>. Massey Ratings predicted a 45-32 SOU victory, again very close to the actual result. What does the computer say about next week? SOU should win by 40 points over Montana State-Northern next Saturday (at home in Ashland) according to compughterratings.com<\/a> and by 32 according to Massey Ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What else happened today in NAIA football, and what will Monday’s poll look like?<\/b> <\/p>\n

Eastern Oregon beat previously undefeated Montana Tech (as I sort of<\/a>, and the computer, predicted). <\/p>\n

#1 Marian lost. This means Morningside will move up to #1 in the coaches’ poll, thanks in large part to their weak schedule and their location in the country (near the voting coaches). Massey Ratings doesn’t believe Morningside is a top five team (and predicts they will lose to their DIII opponent next week). <\/p>\n

Lindsey Wilson will move up to #2. With a schedule not much stronger than Morningside, Massey also doesn’t consider them to be a top five team.<\/p>\n

SOU will move up to #3. Massey Ratings will continue to have SOU at #1 after today’s results are factored in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
