I think if NDSU lost and everyone below them (besides C Ark) won, NDSU would simply drop to #3 or #4 and EWU and J'ville St. would be the #1 and #2 seeds with UND or SDSU sliding into #8.

And Missouri St, Indiana St and Southern Illinois are different how? Arguement can be made for every conference.

Let's say everything falls into place this weekend with Richmond and Central Arkansas losing. Does the committee go the NDSU vs SDSU rematch or the UND vs NDSU storyline for who gets seeded #7 & #8.

And SDSU got run over by a middle of the road Big sky team. Same SDSU that beat FU. Do you have a point?

How did the MVFC do vs the Big Sky this year head to head?

The same USD that beat UNI?

It appears we are the only sure win next week.

Still have to win the games on the schedule. Back to quality losses.

What is even more catchy is the entire list will be back next season.

Slowed down, it's hard to prove that ball went forward vs straight up in the air.

Five times this year they apparently have not been "on top of their game". Or maybe they have been and gotten beat.

Not better than Montana

Unlikely

It wasn't that they couldn't throw, they just didn't try. They could have named the score.

Pity party? We are stating facts about the Big Sky vs. MVFC this season. You know, like your game vs Cal Poly which you lost

UNI is 0-2 vs the Big Sky this year. Got their wins vs MVFC teams.

Last year it was results. Moving the goal posts again. MVFC is a very good league with teams that would/will present huge challenges to UND should they face one. I'm just staying consistent to last season that OOC performance is worth something. Last year the Big Sky didn't compete and didn't get a seed. Not the case this season. Results

Outside of NDSU one could argue the MVFC is slightly over rated so their are a few more top 25 opponents by voters. Last year it was all about head to head vs other conferences. Why not this year?

Big Sky is the better conference head to head.

That's not how the committee works. They also look at the quality of losses.

Don't forget that the Big Sky was a better conference head to head vs the MVFC. Last year head to head conference was thrown in everyone's face. Seems to be overlooked this year for some reason.

NDSU has won five....FIVE straight national championships. Successful teams have a pretty large fan base. Three years ago I was letting my five year old nephew take my three year old son to the bathroom at the Alerus at this point in the season because if they got lost, I would have heard them yell. Im not happy with attendance but also keep things in perspective when comparing to the most successful program currently in FCS.

Alex Reed brought energy yesterday when we needed a spark. It was on his reception with a couple broken tackles. He has been fun to watch this year and am glad to see his role expanding.

Really encouraged to see the athletes supporting each other. Big day for UND athletics yesterday. We sure we want to leave the Big Sky?

They will need to play better than today but I have much more confidence in our passing game after today. Mercur is developing into a big play wideout and the two freshmen just battle. Next wrinkle to this offense is TE seam and/or #22 in the slot with #5 in the backfield. If they would have done that today it would have been Madden offense down the seam.
