Teran Togia had three touchdowns for the Raiders today<\/p><\/div>\n

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football <\/p>\n

Details of today’s game can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don’t get too excited about Lindsey-Wilson’s loss today. First of all, everyone, but the voting coaches, saw it coming a mile away. Massey’s rankings are far superior to the coaches’ poll. Massey routinely gets their predictions correct, while the coaches’ poll leaves everyone thinking that upsets are happening all over the place. Today’s “upset” of #1 by #8 (the “NAIA Game of the Week”) was actually #2 beating #8 according to Massey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As mentioned before<\/a>, Morningside has a weak schedule from here on out. They ran up the score against a team (not even in the top 60 according to Massey) that College of Idaho could have easily defeated and so Morningside could slip by the Raiders in Monday’s coaches’ poll. Even Reinhardt could move past the Raiders, but don’t count on the coaches to vote in a way that makes complete sense. Reinhardt should make it into the top 5, but I’m guessing they will not be #1, even after beating the coaches’ #1 team with a perfect record. <\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter. Being #1 or #2 gives SOU the same home field advantage throughout the playoffs. They may be #1 on Monday after today’s victory over the Yotes, or they may not. Massey had the College of Idaho at #13 in the country. Well, the Raiders beat the 13th best NAIA football team by 42 points today.<\/p>\n

The Raiders have three tough games to finish out the regular season. They play Rocky Mountain next week on the road, followed by Montana Tech (who beat Carroll College in Helena today) at home, and Eastern Oregon on the road–all top 25 teams according to Massey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
