The nice thing is there is a couple of games being played that can help UND's chances: Portland State over Eastern Washington. Montana State over Montana. To a "lesser extent:" James Madison over Villanova. Maine over New Hampshire.

It would be different if they hadn't just made that account to post just that.

I also had a hawk voter (student) tell me it was unconstitutional to try and sway the vote.

Schedule strength based off Massey Ratings. I do think if its Southern Utah vs UND, UND gets in. Where do you draw the line? Do you punish a team for scheduling a D2 team, instead of Incarnate Word, yet they finish ahead of the others in the polls and conference standings (isn't that sorta what conferences are about to see how those teams compare against the same teams?) And have a harder schedule. .....the committees history has said yes. Basically if Southern Utah losses and UND wins and gets into the playoffs we can thank Southern Utah for its scheduling mistake.

So you're saying even a 10-1 team isn't guaranteed to make the playoffs. Let alone 7-4 Lehigh finished second in the conference that is one bid conference when it was still 16 playoff field.

Southern Utah has the 16th hardest schedule in FCS. North Dakota has the 51th hardest schedule in FCS.

Is that why SUU is #20 in the polls and UND is about 31. Its pretty easy to think the committee has a print out of the last poll at these meetings.

This part I'm not so sure about. SUU could be one missed field goal away from winning a Big Sky Championship and getting an autobid. But because they missed that field goal not even make the playoffs?! I think the committee will use some discretion.

History will be made. This will be the first hockey game in 80+ years that UND will officially play under a new moniker.

I fully expected the UofM to not recognize Veterans Day next and just another school day.

The Alerus Center should have a budget set aside to help UND increase the bid.

University of Minnesota Student Government has apparently passed a resolution to no longer remember/"celebrate" 9/11. Too much USA Patriotism for them. Don't want to offend anyone.

Why's it only Monday today?!

Up to ten. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/11/16/alabama-refuses-syrian-refugees-paris-terror-attack/75857924/

I saw that too....heard commotion from section over. Looked over and saw a coach restraining a UNC player. Would love to know what he said that got under his skin. That's why I'm against moving the student section.

The Hawks are gonna lose again tonight.

They thought he was talking about Miami.....

The best part is UND seems to be playing its best football right now.

And and the Alerus can't host playoff games because the ceiling is too low.

Students these days also wear their skirts above their knees, get tattoos, and listen to Rock & Roll.

I'm praying EverSports works.

But also look at losses. SUU would only have two conference losses. UND would have three conference losses. SUU with only two losses to top conference teams (Portland & Northern AZ). UND three conferences lost with one being bottom dweller Idaho State (currently 1-6 with their lone win being against UND).

And SUU wins. They are in. Portland is already in. Montana Wins. They are in. EWU wins, they are in. UND wins. Could easily be sitting home. 7DI wins don't guarantee anything.

So say if Southern Utah loses but they are still 7-4 overall just like UND (if UND wins). But the worst SUU can finish is second (tied) in the Big Sky Conference. UND wins and they could be fifth(?). Does the commitee swap SUU and UND just because UND beat a FBS while SUU beat a Division 2? (Yet SUU was clearly the better team than UND playing the same teams within the conference.)

Wasn't it this year? Like the first goal at Bemidji?
