You can say that with sarcasm all you want but Southern Illinois lost to 2 FBS programs... by 8 to FAU who is currently 7-3 and Memphis by 13 who is 8-1.... So yeah it actually was a very good win on the road against a team that is much better than their record may say. Not to mention that there is precedence of a 6-5 MVC team making the playoffs... in 2015 Western Illinois made it (and won a round)... with a season very much like YSUs this year. A loss to an FBS team, a big win over South Dakota St who is top 10 and very close losses to other top 10ish programs.Solid win against 4-6 Southern Illinois.
YSU isn't making the playoffs, though.
I follow the MVC very closely (not as close this year, busy with kid stuff) and this conference is at times a 5 or 6 team bid league in FCS...
