Massey has us as the three point favorite. Must win for the drive for 6

No. 112 Valparaiso (3-3) @ No. 103 San Diego (2-4)

Valpofb16 — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:54:23 +0000

Not sure what to make of San Diego this year. Win over top 40 Cal Poly. Brutal non conference and a slogging by Butler. Either Butler or Cal Poly is the outlier, with USD history leaning Butler. Win here and a winning season becomes extremely likely

No. 106 Drake (2-3) @ No. 118 Valparaiso (2-3)

Interesting game at home. Drake went 0-3 non con. Pounded Davidson appears to be very bad. And beat Dayton who appeared to be very good.

Only one coach last 25 years could beat Drake. Tall tale for Waddle & Co but a win here and we are looking at a winning season

Bulldogs: 21

From what I have seen from both teams this season, if Valpo limits mistakes.

24-14 Beacs

No. 107 Butler (3-1) @ No. 121 Valparaiso (1-2)

Butler is coming off two weeks of handling Franklin (DIII) and newly formed Chicago State (Newly Formed FCS Scholarship). Massey is calling for a Bulldog 7 point win. I think Valpo plays mistake free, its homecoming, upperclassmen defense come to play.

Final Score:

Beacs: 21

Bulldogs:10

Waddle biggest win to date

FCS No. 122 Valparaiso (1-1) Vs No. 53 Indiana State (1-2)

Valpofb16 — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:13:17 +0000

Indiana State is our second and final MVC oppoenent. Played tough for a half against Purdue. Beat Eastern Illinois who relatively handled Murray State. Dual Threat Elijah Owens at QB will probably be a handful. Their defense is giving up 433 YPG

Guess is about 35-14 Sycamores

FCS No. 122 Valparaiso @ No. 94 Murray State

Valpofb16 — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 16:58:19 +0000

Murray State 2-26 last 28 games , Murray State is 93% favorite via Massey. Lost to Butler in 2024.

Mercy Rule

vu72 — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 02:16:15 +0000

Here in Texas, among small schools playing 9 man football, there is something called the “mercy” rule. Essentially 50 point lead in the second half ends the game.
The NCAA needs something similar. Nothing can be gained, and only players hurt, playing in a game like Illinois State v. St. Francis , ending in a 76-0 win for the Redbirds.

Week 0: No. 368 Valparaiso vs 669 Lawrence Tech
