For all we know the guy had to argue his ass off just to get us in over Florida A&M, Rhode Island, and Chattanooga. Saturday was horrible, and you can bet the committee had ESPN+ piped in. Or, I could be way off, who knows.
I actually think it could be possible. The optics in Fargo on Saturday were horrible. One could say the same about the Griz in Bozeman. That one I can't explain other than $$$$.
Agreed. Time to seed the teams 1-24, avoid first-round and second-round conference matchups, and call it a day. The money we are talking about here is chump change in the grand scheme of things.
Maybe Larsen expended the political capital he had just to get UND in, I have no idea. Just trying to see things objectively. Saturday was ugly. Same can be said for Montana as well. Davis at 6-5 belongs. Conference standings and non-conference scheduling should matter.
