MVFC: Week 9 Preview

October 28, 2016October 27, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetI can’t believe we’re already 9 weeks into the season. After Saturday, most teams in the conference will have only 3 games left in the regular season (only 2 for the ISU’s). Teams have played 4 or 5 conference games and are really starting to separate themselves in the conference standings (conference record, then overall record): #7 South Dakota State... Read More

MVFC: Week 8 Review

October 24, 2016October 24, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetWell, ok then. This was an interesting week. There were a few fairly expected results, one that was a bit of a larger margin than most were expecting, and then one game that was a surprise blowout. To see what I mean, let’s start with the scores: #37T Missouri State – 7 #35T Northern Iowa – 61 #35T Illinois State... Read More

MVFC: Week 8 Preview

October 21, 2016October 20, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetA weekend of stupidly close games and we are inching ever closer to deciding who wins the conference, who’s making themselves known to the playoff committee for at-large bids, and if anyone appears to be taking over Missouri State’s former “home” at the bottom of the conference standings. Without further ado, here’s where things stand as of this week (conference... Read More

MVFC: Week 7 Review

October 17, 2016October 17, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetI knew this was going to be a week of close matchups, but holy cow…I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many close games by one conference in one weekend. Let’s start it off with the scores… #30 South Dakota – 33 #35 Indiana State – 30 In 2 overtimes #14 Western Illinois – 38 #36 Missouri State – 35 #11... Read More

MVFC: Week 7 Preview

October 14, 2016October 13, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetNow that we’re a few games into the conference season, I thought it might be useful to start listing the conference standings for each team so that we can see where everyone is at a bit more easily. So, most teams have played 2 conference games, the ISU’s have played 3, and here’s how the conference looks right now. North... Read More

MVFC: Week 6 Review

October 11, 2016October 10, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetAnother week of MVFC action, games seemed to go mostly as expected in terms of the end results other than one of them. First up, here’s the “quick and dirty”…just the scores: #13 Youngstown State – 20 #25 Illinois State – 6 #1 North Dakota State – 27 #33 Missouri State – 3 #11 Northern Iowa – 25 South Dakota...

MVFC: Week 6 Preview

October 6, 2016October 6, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetOne week into the MVFC and Missouri State already has conference win…how crazy is that? So now we’re on to Week 6 of the FCS college football season and Week 2 of the MVFC. I want to start by pointing out that if you’re looking for something to fill your audio gap between episodes of the FCS Wedge Podcast (a... Read More

MVFC: Week 5 Review

October 3, 2016October 3, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetFirst up, if you are just interested in the scores, here you go: #19 Illinois State – 10 #1 North Dakota State – 31 Missouri State – 45 #21 Indiana State – 24 South Dakota – 20 #15 Youngstown State – 30 #34 Southern Illinois – 21 #13 Northern Iowa – 42 And….ugh….do I have to do the last one?…I do?…fiiiiine....

MVFC: Week 4 Review

September 26, 2016September 26, 2016 Scott Lawson

TweetMaybe it’s just me, but this seemed like a weird weekend in the MVFC. There were 2 ½ games played this weekend, with two potentially considered “upsets” (depending on your own personal ranking system). Also, just for clarification, since only 4 of the 10 teams in the conference were in action this week, it was a much smaller pool of... Read More

MVFC: Week 1 Review and Power Rankings

September 5, 2016September 28, 2016 Chad Lenz

TweetIt’s a new year but the same pattern of the last 5 years is already playing out. This past weekend the MVFC went 6-3, 7-3 if we include the Week 0 NDSU win over Charleston Southern. I know those of you who aren’t MVFC fans reading this are rolling your eyes hard enough for them to fall out of your... Read More
