Sorry not to make the live stream. You guys do a great job. VSN has become a thing. Congratulations and thank you.

This is one thing that bothers me about the playoffs, the regional playoff. You have conferences like Frontier and Sun who have high ranked teams. They play after a first round bye and then have a regional playoff schedule where best teams knock off the next best teams and you don't have the top teams in the final rounds. What do you think?

[@JasonDannelly]

I wish the NAIA had the funds to do a true bracketed postseason tournament. But the expense is just too high. Unfortunately this has been the issue for many years and is just one of the pains of small college football.

Why isn't Campbellsville ranked?

Why is St. Xavier still ranked?

Why isn't Taylor ranked?

[@JasonDannelly]

Mostly due to the raters having low expectations at the start of the season. And right now no one in spots 18-25 are losing, so it makes it tough to punish a team you rated earlier in the season to move Taylor into one of those spots. With a few upsets, they will get there.

This is just my view. I don't like teams that run up scores against weak teams. Maybe the 89 points will get them to the #2 spot, even though they only played one tough team. That conference isn't as strong as the Frontier and others. Not a very classy thing to do to beat up teams like that.
