Thanks, Mick. Enjoyed the article on the RPI. That's what so many of the "experts" missed last season.....it wasn't that the MVC figured out how to beat the RPI system, they just won the games they needed to.

Did you pick your screen name because of the former Rolling Stones' guitarist? Or is it just coincidence?

Good article. He is right on at the end. The Valley has to beat all the teams not in or at the bottom of the BCS confrences as well as pull off a few upsets over the top BCS schools such as Arkansas, LSU, Syracuse, Indiana, or Iowa. The spotlight is now on the Valley. The confrence is now gaining the publicity it wants and deserves but this year is key and we cant afford to blow it.

Good write up but he left out the Bears game against #10 wisconsin and the winner/loser bracket game against either oklahoma st or auburn.
